Laundry issue

[Anonymous]

I would get gloves, bag the items and write a polite note explaining that you did not know how to handle this situation. I would also recommend that accidents such as these be handled by a professional dry cleaner/laundress in the future since you don not handle adult feces.

Well said, professional and sets a clear boundary.

I would not touch anyone's poop drenched pants. Period. You are not his mother. I would say "Joe, I saw the soiled pants in the laundry room. I am sorry you were not feeling well. I do not handle adult feces but I can give you some tips for how to handle soiled laundry. In the future, I recommend a thorough rinse in the sink and to wash the item separately."

Put it in a plastic bag, tie up the bag, and mention it to the MB when she gets home. Be sure not to act indignant when you speak with her.

Men can be remarkably clueless and shameless about this stuff. The MB will probably be mortified and/or amused at his pig-like behavior but totally understanding of your desire not to deal with it. She can then choose to throw it away, clean it herself, or hand it to her husband, hopefully with a gentle reminder that he should become a little more careful about what he leaves in the hamper.

Op here. I told mb when she got home that I didn't know how to clean up the feces as their is not a sink in the laundry room. She looked confused but said ok no problem. 20 min later I get a text that said OMG I am so sorry. She said she was just going to throw the clothes away.

I would leave the item laying near or on the washing machine. As you are leaving, mention to MB that "All of the laundry is washed, folded and put away. There is one item that I was unable to get cleaned. It is sitting on top of the washing machine. Have a great evening!"
She should look at it and be beyond mortified.
If she is upset that you didn't clean it, you are not working for good people.
Adult fecal matter is NOT part of any nanny's job description.

I'm sorry you had to go through all this today, OP. So completely and utterly vile and disgusting.

good for your bos. I'm sure DB will get schooled on that and I seriously doubt you'll have to deal with that again. And good for you for standing up for yourself!

Lol. Sorry OP. As another poster pointed out, sometimes men are just remarkably clueless.

Nannies DO NOT do your personal laundry. Please.

Ignore it. Do not touch it. Do not wash it. Do not mention it.

And do not tell us about it.

Lol.

I bet you someone wiped his ass for way too long.
Pull-ups, anyone?

I'm surprised so many of you actually believe this story.
