while the husband first started his winter break in december, to be funny, i dared him to grow a beard and not shave until he started class again in mid-january. he agreed, and my normally smooth faced honey began his transformation into a lumberjack.
surprisingly (and i say that b/c normally dispise any type of facial hair beyond a little scruff), i loved it. he loved it too... beard stayed, and will continue to stay. it's nothing long or obnoxious, he keeps it neatly trimmed, and quite frankly, it looks awesome on him (even if his mother doesn't think so- heh). so what's the problem you ask?
beard trimmings.
all. over. my. sink.
ALL. OVER.
i just finished up my little mid-week bathroom wipe down and had a near panic attack when i took full notice of what this morning's trim had left behind- little stubbles aaaallll over my vanity. and not just ON the vanity itself, i found a few little guys in my ring dish, on my aveda spa candle, on the hand towel, and even IN THE TOOTHBRUSH HOLDER. this has got to stop.
so, in my little fit of rage, i informed my dear husband that if the beard is to stay (which i want it too... b/c i really really love it) he's going to have to learn to clean up after himself. i mean, it's just common courtesy that if you make a mess (esp one involving body hair) you should be cleaning up after yourself. he tried to argue that leaving his whiskers in the sink is the same as me leaving my makeup bottles and brushes around the sink. uh, no... it's not. i also think this is why god invented double sinks.
oh, and yes... i will be getting out a NEW toothbrush.
Head/facial hair trimmings all over the bathroom are the story of my life! Dave has gotten pretty good at at least moving the toothbrush holder to the other side of the bathroom, but ugh! No matter how much I clean, there will always be stray hairs somewhere, lurking, being gross. I cannot wait until he's finished with the master bath remodel and we have our double sinks in. Maybe in the summer you can make him trim outside??
ReplyDeleteI hate when my hubs leaves his shavings all over the place. With our new upgrade to double sinks, maybe I'll have to deal with it less.
ReplyDeleteI make my hubs trim outside now. No matter how cold it is. Little wisker hairs drive me batty. No matter how much he "tries" to clean up after himself, he sucks at it. So outside it is. I even bought him a little vanity mirror.
ReplyDeleteOh, that sounds like trouble.
ReplyDeleteIf he doesn't want to clean up after himself he should at least move things out of the way so he doesn't cover them in hair.
I want to see this awesome beard.
You're a better woman than I am. I'd have lost it at the toothbrush.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh. This reminds me of when I used to stay over at my Manfriend's house and would brush my teeth in his master bedroom. The sink was COATED with whisker dust because he would shave every morning over the sink and just let it sit there. I guess he never bothered to clean it regularly, and he now has a whisker dusk-encrusted sink. Good thing you wiped that shit down sooner than later!
ReplyDeleteMy guy is really bad about his clippings too- now he does it in the basement by the washer and dryer with a hand mirror- when he learns to clean up after himself like a big boy he can come back upstairs! ( ;
ReplyDeleteThere are beard trimmings all over my counter (and everything on it) too! My boyfriend is not very good at cleaning up after himself. I'll even find hairs in my water glass. I feel your pain.
