Is this an acceptable thing to say.

It is true that this morning the kitchen was a bombsite. Neither myself or H cleared it up in the afternoon or the evening yesterday.

This morning he said "who is going to clear this shit up?" and told me I "live like a dog". (In front of youngest dd).

Is this an OK thing to say?

No it isn't an acceptable thing to say.

Rubyslippers7780 · 03/03/2017 09:46

Why is it all your responsibility? ( or am I reading this incorrectly ? )

Moanyoldcow · 03/03/2017 09:46

Nope. I'm very messy. My husband would never say anything approaching that to me.

HerOtherHalf · 03/03/2017 09:48

Uhm, no! Why would you think it is?

Darlink · 03/03/2017 09:48

Need more info !

No, I wouldn't accept my dh talking to me like that.

I don't like the personal accusation in what he said. He could have worded it differently "looks like a pig sty".. Also, why is it only you that lives like a dog, doesn't he live like one, too if he resides under the same roof Grin

If you're hurt then I'd tell him that. I personally would have given him a good comeback and and told him how you're both going to clear up.

Happybunny19 · 03/03/2017 09:56

I'd be annoyed with him and tell him to clear up or shut up, but I wouldn't feel the need to post a thread about it.

Gingerbreadlass · 03/03/2017 09:57

Also, my dog lives really well and is not messy, so I dispute that comment!

Bluntness100 · 03/03/2017 10:02

No, of course it's not acceptable. Can I ask the context here, do uou both work?

I think uou need to agree a cleaning rota to ensure you both maintain a level of home hygiene and tidiness that you both feel comfortable with. Both of uou avoiding it and neither of you wishing to do it isn't going to work.

Montane50 · 03/03/2017 10:33

Bit more context needed-do you both work? Is it only your mess and is he sick of clearing up after you? Do you live like a dog and he has a point?

Holly3434 · 03/03/2017 10:34

It's actually more unacceptable to leave the kitchen in such a state an adult can't stand it let alone a child having to live like that.

Blackbird82 · 03/03/2017 10:38

I often complain that our house is a shit hole, but I don't place blame with anyone, rather it's a statement of fact!

If my husband said I lived like a dog I would tell him to fuck off! (Not in front of kids)

My husband made dinner last night then fell asleep on sofa - had a long day - so I cleaned up kitchen. Have to work as a team
