To have used DH's towel in place of toilet roll....?

So it's my birthday today - but apparently due to coronavirus and DH's work commitments I haven't had a card or a present - I haven't even had a cup of tea. I've done the children's dinner and he's now doing bedtime "to give me a rest".

I'm a SAHM. He has a high pressure job and has been WFH for the last 3 weeks. We have 2 DC and also 1DSC living with us, since lockdown I've been in charge of all 3 from 7:30am - 6:30pm every day - meals, school work, entertainment, daily exercise, peacemaker etc etc - which is fine but everything has to be done in complete silence due to the fact he has conf/video calls all day.

Despite social distancing and barely leaving the house I've caught a stinking cold and am feeling pretty shitty. I went to the ensuite earlier to find a massive shit stain in the toilet and no toilet roll - I didn't realise the toilet roll had been used until after my wee, there's normally a stash in our bathroom cupboard but that's been used up - with a sense of fury I did something that I'd never have considered doing before.... I used DH's towel to wipe. Should I wash it before his shower in the morning? I know I should and yes I will... but I don't actually want to.

Well obviously if you are being serious then YABU and disgusting and have completely lost the moral high ground

But YANBU to be upset at no acknowledgement of your birthday. That’s shitty.

I wouldn't wash it!

YgritteSnow · 31/03/2020 21:24

I'm sorry I laughed. But yes, you must of course wash it. It would stop being funny if you didn't.

user1493494961 · 31/03/2020 21:24

I wouldn't bother washing it. Happy Birthday.

Happy birthday CakeWine

Just don’t mix up the towels!!

GrumpyHoonMain · 31/03/2020 21:25

I would have used his towel to clean the shit stain myself

Carrie7469 · 31/03/2020 21:25

Happy birthday

Winterwoollies · 31/03/2020 21:32

Nah, you’re not unreasonable at all. Sod him.

Happy birthday!

FfsCorona · 31/03/2020 21:35

That’s rank op! Couldn’t you have shouted for someone to bring you toilet roll?! 🤢

gamerchick · 31/03/2020 21:36

Yes you need to wash it. It just means he doesnt have a towel in the morning.

Stop with the complete silence though, a huge chunk of the country is in the same boat. It's just not that important in the grand scheme of it.

JayAlfredPrufrock · 31/03/2020 21:37

Hell no.

Wipe away.

Sparklfairy · 31/03/2020 21:37

I can be pretty bloody minded so I say it's fine Grin To be fair, I'd draw the line at wiping a shitty arse on it but you've shared enough bodily fluids to have created kids so meh.

Happy birthday OP

Andi2020 · 31/03/2020 21:37

No but makesure you don't use it and makesure no other towel there for him to use and another thing I would do dont put any toilet roll in for him hide it.

Yanbu. Call it a birthday arse wipe 🤷🏼‍♀️ 🧻

Moominmammaatsea · 31/03/2020 21:41

You could always scrub the poo stain off with his toothbrush. Can you tell I’m single?!

Quarantina · 31/03/2020 21:41

Disgusting

goldenorbspider · 31/03/2020 21:42

I'm calling bs you're trolling

Zombiemum1946 · 31/03/2020 21:42

Happy birthday 🎂. Ynbu. Tell him you had to use his towel to wipe yourself because he hadn't replaced the roll and could he please take 5 mins to clean his shit of the toilet seat.

CaractacusP · 31/03/2020 21:45

Just leave it. I don't think he'll mind. Grin

StellaEllaOla · 31/03/2020 21:57

Thank you ladies for the Birthday messages, they actually mean a lot :)

I've put his towel in the wash but it unfortunately won't be dry by the morning :/
