DH has just gone off in a strop because he walked poo through the house!

[ANewEra]

DH has just got back from his hobby. I was asleep, having fallen asleep watching something on my phone. As he comes in to turn it off, he stands in a present the cat has left and walks it across the room.

I then wake up to him scrubbing poop off the carpet with baby wipes and zoflora! When I suggest that this might not be the best course of action, i then get a long diatribe on how and why he thinks it is, blah, blah, blah! He is always like this whenever he is responsible for something. Gets super defensive and his ASC goes into over drive!

He's now gone off in a strop because I apparently 'attacked' him by suggesting that his way of cleaning wasnt the most effective and that accidents happen, don't worry about it! These things happen, just clean it up and move on! (I did help to clean it too btw- with hot soapy water and kitchen towels!)

AIBU?!

@Lweji wel she says

So he can't even argue his case of why he thinks his way will work

See, I don’t see “that’s not the best way to do that” and getting up as helping. It was interfering. I’d have told the op to leave me to it (and possibly added a swear or three).

And I thought she was asleep on the sofa, but on reading back now I’m not sure.

But, again, the OP said she suggested that wasn’t the best way to do it and got out of bed to help.

But he was managing just fine on his own - she didn't need to do anything except leave him to it!

Apologise? For advising he’s cleaning it up wrong!? I wouldn’t. It’s your house too and you want to know the poo has been cleaned up properly incase the kids crawl on the carpet, he stood in it! He needs to be taught how to clean it properly if he doesn’t know.

Was he, though? He used a disinfectant and why wouldn't the OP trust that he'd clean it all out?
Wet paper towels don't seem much better, TBH.

Many MNetters would have cleaned the same way.
