my in-laws house grosses me out. One of the reasons is because their dogs mess on the kitchen floor. My father-in-law always says he is going to let them out before he goes to bed and then doesn't. The one week that they were outta town and my husband I were watching their house. I swept and moped that house every day and let them out before I went to bed and I NEVER HAD ONE MESS to clean up.
Is there anything that I can do? Whether is be saying something not so blunt to my in-laws about the dogs or even getting over this nasty feeling about their house.
I mean seriously, I go up there every other weekend to visit and by the time it is time to come home, I cry because I feel so disgusting.
PLEASE HELP ME!

Sorry hon, all you can do is pass on the great success you had while watching their pets. It is up to them if they want to take your advice and put it to some good use. Unfortunately, they will live how they see fit. All you can do is respect their decision and not go over there. Instead, invite them over to your place. So, that you are not hurting anyone's feelings. -Good luck.

I would tell them that you didn't have any messes to clean up over the weekend. Hopefully they will ask what you did. What does your husband say about it? Could he help in explaining that you are super sensitive about animals and smells? Personally, I would stop going to visit, or suggest visiting outside so the dogs can get some exercise too!

Unfortunately, it doesn't bother the in-laws or they would have already changed their behavior, but it is pretty unsanitary and I would be grossed out.
One suggestion: do you know any of their neighbors with teenage kids? Perhaps one of the neighbors kids could be paid to walk the dog once a night....

You know what? don't carry on somebody elses's problems...............I understand they are your in-laws, but be thankfull this doesn't happen in you house......Let them! why worry, c'mon, you can't be fixing things in this world.....they need to clean it, or live with it.
It's not your house..............your responsability is about what happens behind your home's door, anything outside................don't worry.
Is not healthy for you to be thinking and worrying about this.
Now, you have all rights to say no to dogs when they come and visit. This is your right and if they don't like it, oh, well...tell them that you have allergies...................yes, all of a sudden.....this is your right to protect your home.

That is discusting!! Quit going over there. If your husband wants to go, then that's his choice. If his parents ask why you wont go over there anymore, tell them the truth!

It's their house and their dogs.
It's none of your business.
