To feel like fucking crying?

[WeirdlyKind]

My partner has a stomach bug. He caught it off the kids and he's had a couple of accidents.

Came in from work today to find the house stinking of shit. It's everywhere - our bed is going to have to be replaced, the bedroom carpet is ruined, it's on the stair carpet and the hall carpet downstairs.

I've just spent 45mins scrubbing the (tiny) bathroom because there was shit literally everywhere.

Can't really afford to buy a new bed but the mattress is heavily stained, now on both sides. It's going to cost hundreds for that and the carpets. Genuinely feel like crying my eyes out. Probably not helped by the fact he's doing nothing to help (like putting his soiled clothes in the shower rather than just leaving them). I've got piles of washing to do still too.

Aibu to be utterly fed up?

@CockSpadget

Ffs why are you giving this lass a hard time?!? Don't you think she's got enough on today, without dealing with the Mumsnet twat brigade. It's pretty clear what he's done OP. He's had an accident in bed, he's then stood up and took his pants off at the side of the bed and the contents have soaked through the carpet (hence the big circular mark where they've landed), he's then tried to make it downstairs with no pants on while continuing to have accidents En route. It's absolutely normal to have explosive shits to that extent with noro, but unfortunately your H hasn't thought through his actions at the time. I feel sorry for you, and he would be in the serious doghouse if it was my DP, ill or not.

Thank you! That actually makes sense.

This is horrendous and I feel for you OP, I can't imagine another adult expecting adult to clean up that mess.

Also don't know if you know but a spoof mumsnet account on Twitter has posted this with pics.

Omg this would turn me off for life. I don't think I could look at DH the same again if he did an actual pile of shit next to our bed. I've honestly never heard anything like it.

'Here, have a pic of the bedroom carpet. I've chucked the hall carpet out.'

In the name of sweet reason get him to keep still and sit on some incopads ffs !

I can’t help but laugh at these responses and then the picture. You guys are BRUTAL

feeling for you OP and hubby. Warm soapy water. Then I would use bicarbonate soda to make a paste on it. Leave over night. Hoover in the morning then wash again.
Bin the clothes he’s shit on.
Make yourself a cuppa and get your feet up. Try stay clear of him because it’s so catching. Ignore some of these people on here who clearly act like they’re shit don’t stink

@Arsewangry

We had it a few weeks ago. I came down with it hard and fast, I was on the loo with a bucket one minute, next minute i woke up on the floor, blood pouring from my forehead, vomiting profusely and simultaneously shitting myself. Fainted and smacked my head off the sink on my way down.

Once I finally thought I was empty (some hours later), I took my sad little bucket to bed, puked, shit the bed and missed the towels somehow.

Horrific. Mattress topper binned.

It happens sometimes, and it's fucking awful, but your DH OP is something else.

That sounds horrific

"Honestly the amount of threads of men pissing in their own bedroom corner, shitting all over their sofas and putting on 'some incontinence pants', these aren't husbands, these are the subjects of documentaries for the rest of us to recoil at."

Bwaahaaa !!

I know your post wasn't meant to be funny but I haven't laughed so much all week.

Where do all these incontinent men come from ?!

Sorry but I've had noro several times and it sort of explodes out of both ends to start and then runs like a tap out your arse. If he was downstairs when it started then you can't simply stop shitting. Oddly enough no one likes shitting themselves so I doubt he is doing it on purpose. It's humiliating.

When I had it, after the initial burst of vomit and shit I had absolutely no energy and just lay on the floor. Easiest place to lie is in the bath so at least it can be washed down if you have another explosion.

I worked on cruise ships where it's incredibly common and I've seen guests vomit and shit all over the place when theyve been ill. Can't always be helped.

It can come on from nowhere too. Like you can be feeling a bit off, nothing major, then suddenly you get intense stomach cramps, watery mouth and then you're vomiting with force, but because of the force it shoots backwards as well and every retch sends more out the back as well.

Literally had a guest do it mid sentence in the jewellery shop.

"My partner has a stomach bug. He caught it off the kids"

Did they $h!£ all over the house as well??

If so, I really feel for you OP.

I've only had 2 stomach upsets in my entire life: camplylobacter and noro.

When I had campylobacter, it was like my arse was sneezing shite. It was completely uncontrollable and came with zero warning. And with a temp of 40.8, I wasn't up to rushing anywhere. But 2 pairs of my sturdiest undercrackers under my pyjamas, and a couple of old towels beneath me in bed prevented any damage to the mattress, and the only mishap was when a fiercely violent bout of vomitting overshot the bowl, when I was sitting on the lav. And I cleaned it up myself.

How someone gets it all over the house is a mystery to me.

We have some friends who both got norovirus on their honeymoon in a posh hotel somewhere in the Caribbean as a hurricane hit the resort.

The story is horrific. Both vomitting and shitting at the same time, phones down, no Drs available. Hotel hardly staffed because of hurricane. It ended up where they had 3 buckets and a loo and a mega pack if loo roll and just stayed in the bathroom for 48 hours while the hurricane raged outside. Their description of the bathroom is disgusting and I won't repeat it.

What the hell is wrong with him?

He's a grown man FFS

I had a horrendous stomach bug last week - all week. The cramping was so bad I could barely move. I needed the toilet constantly for the first 48 hours.

Not once did I sh*t anywhere other than the toilet and I made sure the toilet was left clean.

There is no excuse for this

Poor you

Only someone who had absolutely no intention of cleaning anything up would shit all over the bed, the floor, the fucking entire house..

I’ve had four very difficult pregnancies, norovirus, and bloody salmonella two years ago. I now have four kids who have been through the usual potty training, have all had noro several times and one of them caught salmonella with me.

I think I’ve only ever had to pick up one proper shit off the carpet and that was while my youngest was potty training.

When I had campylobacter, it was like my arse was sneezing shite.

Just spat my brew out at this

It most likely does, but I don't do it all up the stairs and all over the bed. Maybe I'm just a bit middle class that way.

@Arsewangry. My experience was same- husband called 999as I fainted and couldn’t bring me round , I also chipped a bone in my nose where I had smacked it off the sink— it’s weird one minute I felt sick and upset tummy, next I was out like a light with crap pouring from me— I was mega embarrassed when I came round with paramedics in my bedroom and shit all over bathroom

For the love of God.

This is what the OP needs to do? Finesse her housekeeping technique for cleaning her H's uncontrollable explosive poo. The bar is so low it's on the ground.

@WeirdlyKind

Mind the pun but what a shitty situation for you.

A friend of mine and her dh were recently away for a weekend and had the same explosive issue where neither of them knew which one had opened bowels on the bedding at one point it was so bad and with this current bout of noro apparently it is horrendous

I know people are saying make him clean it and how they'd be livid with him but when someone's really I'll like that whether they're an adult or not he obviously didn't deliberately set out to shit splash your house so ignore anyone saying to go batshit at him.

If it was my dh I wouldn't have a go about it because it's an accident just unfortunate the type of accident. Put him on the sofa with a puppy pad under his arse

Our loo is also downstairs so over the years anyone with a stomach bug stays down in the lounge on a leather sofa with buckets and access to the loo

For reference I have a cast iron stomach for most bodily fluids for some reason so I wouldn't think anything of it but I appreciate not everyone has the constitution of an ox

Struggling to see an issue here. Shit smells. Cleaning it helps.

I think my lowest moment was possibly when I was catching one daughter's shit in one hand, another's vomit in another, and then I turned round and saw what had happened with my mother. . .

But unless you're a minor, or elderly, you clean up your own shit. Or at least try to, and then apologise for not having quite managed. . .

Some pretty nasty comments on here. It’s a long way to the loo when you’ve got norovirus and your only toilet is downstairs. Calling the OP a troll and other rude comments is pretty pathetic. I hope he’s ok OP and poor you having to clean it up. I had to clean a similar bathroom once when my mum had an explosive accident in my house when I was 8 months pregnant
