Filthy house...

[ellebelle]

Your babies come home from their father's/grandma's house and the bottoms of their feet or socks are always (literally) black with filth.

Your feelings are...?

I'm mad, but don't know if it's worth saying anything.

my LO often gets quite dirty feet from my parents house. not black but grubby.
i know their house is clean & its just the carpets as they are 7 years old & my parents cant clean them..

is it laminate flooring? my mum cleans that every other day so i know shes not grubby from that.

could you mention it to them if they are coming back filthy.

she takes slippers now xx

Yep i know your pain.... My DD goes to visit her dad every saturday day time and tends to go to his mums. She always comes back absolutely filthy dirty and stinking of fags.
I cant say anything to him as all it doe is cause a massive argument. He thinks i'm just picking at things and making something out of nothing... (clearly when our daughter suffers from croup quite often and i say to him dont smoke around her and she comes back smelling like shes had 10 fags is me over reacting???)

If you feel you can say something then do it. xxx

They have 4 dogs and 2 cats and NEVER mop the floors.
It is laminate.

in which case it would bother me & i would need to say something.. xx

Say something about it, or organize your kiddies some slippers. Or then try both facts, no harm in wearing slippers and only the slippers get dirty.

If they never clean then that would bother me and I would say something.

Maria often comes back with filthy feet but I know thats because she plays in the wood box and when the fires are lit there's always a bit of soot coming out on the floor so it doesn't bother me as I know its not because he doesn't clean.

Just say something to them hun , best to just let them know its not acceptable.

 

[ellebelle]

Should probably mention he gets mad when I nitpick about ANYTHING. I'm actually afraid to say anything to him.

 

[MilitaryMummy]

ElleBelle im exactly the same. I cant say anything to my daughters dad without him thinking im moaning at him or complaining for the sake of it. xx

 

[creatingpeace]

Same with mine! I don
't say anything. My son is only there once a week. I try to send him in clothing whihc doesn't matter if it gets filthy.

However, the smoking would not be something which I would let slide, way more serious.

I hate dirt so I would probably say something. Imagine if they are picking up toys of those dirty floors and putting it to their mouths etc etc. Not to mention it isnt exactly a good example- may not matter now but if they continue to do it in the future it might. What is their hygiene like? I know not all people are like this- but most people I know who have houses also have poor hygiene which is obviously a matter in itself.

Their dad is very clean. He pierces and tattoos for a living and has high understanding of sanitation.... however since he's living at home with his mom, he won't clean cuz it's "her house, her responsibility"........
lazyyyyyy.
I don't get it, they just don't WASH the house, they think sweeping is sufficient? But there's muddy dog feet walking all over and the dogs are not house trained properly and are always peeing in the house.
SICK.

Sorry but I would say something. My mum looks after the children while I work and because she has dogs she comes here- she isn't as clean as I am and i'm a bit of a germ phobic (not as bad as some- I get babies have to be exposed to some germs to build up their immune system etc etc).

If it is bothering you then honestly I would because it will just eat away at you.
