I keep a one year old grandson frequently. I know he can grab that dirty diaper and am very aware to keep it out of his reach. But I failed once. I cleaned it up of course. But, if my wife had been 15 minutes away and I had been dealing with him all day, and it was a bad day, I might had left some. But then when she arrived, I'd ask her to handle the baby while I finished cleaning up. But, its from a difference reference point, we are both retired, me semi-retired, so we both get plenty of rest. And we have no resentment towards each other (mid-marriage type stuff).

She just gave you a big-time warning of what the rest of your life is going to look like.

My guess is you don't understand the crazy/hot matrix.

This is an issue. She left shite on the floor because she doesn't want to clean it up. You guys have a division of labor in the marriage and she is not holding up her end

I'm sure as a female poster I will get crazy downvotes.

But so she bathed and cleaned the kids. It's not like she was being lazy. Sometimes kids feel bad when the have accidents like that and comforting them is more important.

Being a stay at home parent isn't as easy as you think. Give your wife some slack.

Nah, don’t listen to low t-boy… Do your part and clean it, but most definitely bring it up when she’s laughing/happy later on. Don’t let shite like this fester, or stand lol

You're an attorney who spews bullshite everyday. What's the difference if you clean a little shite at home?

She was being petty. She must think you never have to deal with terrible things at your job that you wish you could push onto her.

You can't win by arguing. Just clean it up. Life will be better for everyone. She is probably wrong to leave it, but it isn't worth arguing over.

Your wife discovered the mess, she owns it.

Ahhh bull

Let her get up and get dressed, fight thru traffic , do your job , deal with people all day long , go back thru traffic to get home vs. a stay home spouse.

Ain’t no comparison. I’d be more than happy to stay home. Stuck in the house? Another bs excuse. You can go to the park , a pool, visit family at any time. Some folks are just lazy

In their minds, they work 2x as hard as men do. I make a mental list of my duties and let her know if she asks “What are you doing?!” The art of disclosure is a delicate one, so calmly and carefully deliver this without gaslighting. Usually best to discuss when there is no tension.

They get frustrated with kids, especially when they’re by themselves. Those ages are certainly challenging, and messes will happen. Good luck

She had a day and was overwhelmed. She should have cleaned it but she’d reached her limit. It happens with 1 year olds at home. And your 3 year old probably came home with 50 stories to tell and 1,000 questions. She was mentally exhausted and needed someone to take care of her for a minute.

Let this one go.

No one wants to clean up shite off the floor. I understand keeping little ones is absolutely exhausting and mentally taxing. I’ll be happy to help out but when everything calms down that evening or even later in the week/weekend. We’re going to have a grown up discussion about expectations and responsibilities. Everyone has them and we’re all part of the same family.
