DH drew on the wall. Do I ignore it or bite the bait?

[Higory]

Me and DH had a bit of a heated discussion earlier (not a full blown argument, just a slightly raised voice disagreement). I have just been downstairs to see that he has drawn a hitler picture on the living room wall in marker pen. He's now in the shower. HIGHLY unusual for him, he's never done anything so stupid or childish before. Infact if he wasn't the only one in the house right now, I wouldn't believe he had done it.

I don't want to argue anymore tonight, I'm so shocked at what he's done but I'm thinking if I ignore it, he'll come to his senses by morning and try and remove it himself? or am I being naive?

Is he 18 ??

Are you serious?

Personally, I wouldnt let on and let him see it in the cold light of day.

If DP did this I'd find it hilarious. But I don't know your DH and it has obviously unnerved you.

I'd ignore it I think.

depends on age of your children. I wouldn't be happy if they saw it in the morning and thought it was ok to draw on walls.

If my dh had done something like this (stretches imagination) I would get into bed and say calmly "I saw the picture and I wonder if you wanted to leave it there as the children might think it's ok to draw on walls".

And I would say nothing else and go to sleep.

To be honest I can't quite get my head around the fact that he has done it. Half of me is still wondering "if" he did it but he must have done! there are only us two in the house and he called me hitler before I left the room.

It is just so out of character for him, he's NEVER done anything like this before. He's not a destructive person, is usually quite houseproud and would hit the roof if anyone else drew on the walls.

It's very, very odd behaviour. Hence why I'm reluctant to bring it up with him.

Wait until he's asleep- then use the marker to draw one on him.

If he would not normally do this I wouldn't bring it up tonight as he is already unpredictable iyswim? Instead he may clean it off in the morning before you get up.

I would bring it up when the situation/feelings has had time to diffuse.

i'd have to draw an arrow to it and put dh's name

i ight wait until he left for work and draw a crude cock and an arrow over his side of the bed.

not good for marital harmony.

please post a photo of it

I would make him lick it off...
Its very strange behaviour, I thought it was your SON that had drawn on the wall not your husband!!!!

I would agree with Custardo...

you could whittle satan out of a potato... that would really lay down the gauntlet.

LOL at blinks

blinks

very good blinks... LOL

I would draw a little hitler moustache on myself and maybe grease my hair down and serve him burnt books for breakfast.

I'd let the kids see that daddy thinks it's alright to draw on the walls

Then I'd conveniently forget to put that pack of felt pens away

Then I may gently suggest the kids follow daddy's example - they are of course fully exempt from discipline afterwards because what's good for the goose is good for the gander, right ?

I think that would be the point I burst out laughing and the argument was over.

ROFL at this whole thing. Your dh has gone wierd Higory. How very very odd.

I love custardo and blinks suggestions. Hilarious. He will feel such a fool when he wakes.
