I’m a SAHM and my husband works full time. The other day, I finally grew tired of looking at our scummy patio deck and decided to pressure wash it. I managed to do it all in a day by myself while still taking care of our two children whom need constant attention. Well, we also have a very large dog and because he isn’t well trained on a leash it’s really hard for me to take him out with our two LOs. I try to take him out when the kids are down for a nap, etc but I specifically told my husband that he needs to make it his responsibility to walk our dog before and after work, as well as later in the evening. He agrees to it but it doesn’t get done. Instead, my husband allows the dog out onto the patio to urinate and poop on the deck and sometimes the poop sits there for days before he cleans it up. So, after I spent my hard energy cleaning the entire deck I told my husband that the dog is no longer allowed to use the bathroom out there. It’s unsanitary, it’s gross to look at, pretty sure our neighbors can smell the poop sitting in the hot sun. I thought I made it clear because he again agreed with me that what I was saying was right and he wouldn’t let it happen. Not even two days later, I see my husband letting our dog out to use the bathroom!!! Mind you, I asked him not even 10 minutes prior to take our dog out to use the bathroom!! Y’all, I flipped my cool and got very angry that he was disrespecting my wishes and literally shitting on the work I put into providing a nice clean outdoor space for our family to enjoy. He goes on to tell me I’m overreacting and that it’s just a small poop, etc. I’m not buying it and am getting incredibly frustrated he wouldn’t even acknowledge my feelings or hard work. Now, because I’m overreacting my husband starts to call me names I absolutely despise (c u next Tuesday) and it sets me off even more to the point where I’ve now become a raging maniac. He proceeds to tell me how crazy I’m acting over dog shit but I told him it’s more than that, it’s the blatant disrespect to me and he doesn’t seem to get that. So, AITA?? Did I have a right to be angry about this whole situation?
