The garlic sauce problem

42 replies

StickyBlisteredAnus · 04/05/2019 20:15

DH spilt garlic sauce all over the dining room floor but didn’t tell anyone. DSS went in there, stood in it and then walked it all over the house by accident. He’s not mentioned it. I know what’s gone on but DSS is worried. AIBU to bring it up with DH, which would expose DSS and make him feel uncomfortable?

Expose? Just clean it up or get him to do it and then.... problem solved.

Isthisafreename · 04/05/2019 20:20

I don't really understand the problem, other than your dh didn't clean up the sauce he spilt, which I would be very annoyed about.

Greatbigterribleshart · 04/05/2019 20:20

Don't bring it up in front of DSS.

Do have a word with DH about cleaning up after himself because quite honestly what he did was ridiculous and he owe's his DS an apology and to clean whatever he stood in it with at the very least.

Am the only one having trouble understanding this? Why did your husband not clean it up/ feel the need to keep it a secret? Why is your step son worried?

ShitAtScarbble · 04/05/2019 20:36

No Trendy you're not the only one having trouble understanding it. I've read it three times now and still... Confused

NerrSnerr · 04/05/2019 20:38

What's your step son being exposed as? Why is he worried? It can't be his fault if someone spilled it and he didn't know.

Erm I spilt a garlic sauce on our carpet tonight- mopped up, sprayed carpet cleaner and mentioned to DP. Why the drama chez you?

Dh spilt something and didn't clean it up, how is it exposing dss? He's not in the wrong

Bunnybigears · 04/05/2019 20:41

Is DSS scared of DH, does DH shout at or hit DSS? If not I would be annoyed mostly at DH for not cleaning it up and at DSS for walking it all over the house and not mentioning it.

But he won't be in trouble will he? It wasn't his fault. Just tell him that his dad spilled the sauce, it was just an accident and you and/ or his dad will clean it up. No need for drama.

nauseous5000 · 04/05/2019 21:16

Erm lol?

ineedtostopbeingsolazy · 04/05/2019 21:16

Eh? Confused tell you dh he spilt the sauce and didn't bother to clean it up so it's his fault and he's better not say anything to his ds.

No idea why he'd need to tell someone rather than just clean it up.

Yeah I told DH already, he said I’d spilt water 💦 on the floor earlier so couldn’t talk about ry garlic. The water bottle was split and that’s why it went wrong on the laminate but i cleaned it up!

StickyBlisteredAnus have you been drinking? You aren't making sense.

InsertFunnyUsername · 04/05/2019 21:29

Yes, i agree far too much garlic to water ratio.

SauvingnonBlanketyBlanc · 04/05/2019 21:30

Sprinkle parsley on it Wink

The water was this morning and I was showing DH the broken bottle by sprinkling water on the floor and DH snapped “don’t do it on there!”.
The garlic sauce was tonight. So I was in trouble for sprinkling water on the floor but when DH makes a mess nobody is to mention it!

Bloody hell what a ridiculous situation!
I really don’t understand why you are pussy footing around this

Surely it’s a matter of “oh dear” get some kitchen roll and clear it up.
“DH I’ve just mopped up the garlic sauce you dropped, you lazy git”
“DSS don’t worry love, it wasn’t your fault, no harm done”
Is your husband violent?

supersop60 · 04/05/2019 21:53

Why didn't he clean up the garlic?
If he's done that there would be no drama. What are you afraid of?

StormcloakNord · 04/05/2019 21:58

I came here expecting a garlic sauce addicts anonymous.

I'm very disappointed.

BlackeyedGruesome · 04/05/2019 21:58

Are you scared of him?
