The garlic sauce problem

[StickyBlisteredAnus]

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?

Why did DH not clean up the mess as soon as he had spilled it? Not least to prevent anyone else walking in it.

I think she trying to say her dh got annoyed with her for spilling a tiny bit of water on the laminate. Then when dss messed the same laminate with garlic sauce, dh said nothing. So she’s annoyed her husband told her off and not his son.

I didn't get the impression OP was annoyed that the DSS wasn't told off.

I got the impression both OP and DSS are scared of him. DH made a mess which he didn't clean up, DSS didn't see it and walked it through the house. 'D'H would be angry and they are both scared of telling him.

So your dss is worried because he knows he's trodden garlic sauce through the house, but he's too worried of your dh's reaction to tell you?
Also, when you told your dh, that he (your dh) had made a mess, he had a go at you for an earlier spillage (water, which you'd cleared up)?
I think you've got a dh problem here. Surely its not right that your dss is worried by his father's reaction to simple accidents? (You mention a broken toilet toll holder).
Can you talk to your dh about his over reaction to simple accidents and how it's affecting you all?

😳

Sharon?

It’s complicated. DSS is nervous and doesn’t like attention being brought his way. The bog roll holder was broken immediately after the garlic treading so DSS is stressed out. I don’t want to make it worse for him. DH is not at all violent but that doesn’t help DSS

I’m afraid I still can’t see why it’s complicated
If DSS is that nervous surely this needs to be normalised.
Sounds like he’s developed anxiety issues because of his dads response to accidents.
Poor kid

Don't bring dss into it then with dh? "Dh you dropped stuff all over the floor, ans because you didn't it's been trodden in, please clean up after yourself"

To dss "it's not your fault"

The garlic sauce problem

It is indeed a conundrum 🤔😆

What will your husband do when he finds out? Does he shout?

I broke the first rule of social media here, don’t post when under the influence of alcohol. Sorry guys!

I loved the ‘it’s cmolicated’.

I’ll be using that from now on.

You've had one hell of a weekend

Wow, lots going on in your house OP
