Reddit has blown up over this disgusting, controversial topic

From a young dad about his daughter:

[quote] So, I’m a dad to a 15-year-old girl, and she left used pads lying around her room. I get that teenagers can be messy, but this feels next level. On top of that, I found paper plates with half-eaten food just sitting on her bed. We’ve had issues like this in the past and when I talk to her about it doesn’t seem to get through. Am I overreacting? Am I going about this wrong and if so how else can I approach this?

If she’s going to bleed everywhere like a stuck pig, I would put her outside in a pig pen as such.

[quote]So I unfortunately did this when I first started my period. I was raised by 2 dads by the way. I think my issue was getting embarrassed with people seeing it in the trash.

Girl please. My mother, grandmother, and aunt taught me to wrap those damn things in newspaper, put it in a plastic bag, and then walk my happy ass OUTSIDE to the dumpster to throw it away immediately. I've been doing that ever since. You don't leave those in the bathroom trash, or any indoor trash for that matter. That's just nasty and trifling. Maybe this is just proof that men don't know how to properly raise daughters by themselves.

Oh, and about the girl complaining about her dad being in her room, when I was coming up, if you didn't pay bills, you didn't have a room. You had a 'space' in someone else's house. One more smart remark like that would've gotten my door taken off of the hinges and my Playstation power cord taken on an impromptu "Bring Your Child's Favorite Toy To Work Day" trip. For the 3rd time.

So OP's brilliant move is to reproduce this lame topic on DL.

He’s not the most … enterprising parent, is he?

This family sounds too trashy to care about..

by Anonymousreply 5December 8, 2024 10:34 AM

He can purchase small, scented, dark plastic sanitary bags from any supermarket for this exactly purpose and the pads can be disposed off in normal bathroom trash.

Then again, the girl can too, at her age. I guess she’s just a sloven.

And the dad is a fuckwit for posting their screen shots on Reddit.

Is frosting involved?

In this case, OP's "stinky linky" doesn't mean what it usually does.

Mmm, natural ketchup.

You can tell by her replies that she's already a twat. You absolutely can control placing your used pads in a Tom Thumb sack and throwing it away. Not to mention leaving food on your bed...roaches or ants. The father gets a "D" for screenshotting the conversation.

by Anonymousreply 11December 8, 2024 11:17 AM

Nip the behavior in the bud when she's a teenager or she'll be messy her whole life. It's not too much to expect basic things like pads and old food to be put in the trash can. If it's ADHD or something else contributing to it, get treatment. If it's just being messy, then enforce with (reasonable) punishment.

But this is not acceptable and dad is not wrong to want his daughter to be clean. Keep in mind who makes up the hive mind on Reddit and what you think they probably smell like.

Congratulations sir! You have raised a skank.

Parenting is hard, sometimes. You have to build good habits. You don't let your child go full messy; you clean up that shit and you involve them. It's not optional.

Throw her into the ocean!!

I see no controversy other than the guy seemed to be a sexist troll based on other posts. Most people didn't seem to have a problem with that post on his own.

I can't be bothered to read the original post, but this sounds like nascent mental illness.

Call me, dad. I have ideas for a more....permanent solution.

I have two old friends, a married straight couple, who adopted 2 sisters from Russia about 20 years ago. When the girls got into their teens they both started rebelling, telling their parents they could do whatever they wanted to in their own rooms. Their parents couldn't get through to them at all. I told them to sit both those girls down and lay to law down to them and tell them "those are not YOUR rooms until you start paying rent - as of this point we own the air you breath in this house and you're going to do things the way we tell you to do them or you're going to pay a price". Apparently that made an impression on the two twits as they started doing somewhat better, for a while. Fast forward to a couple years ago, the younger daughter (in her mid twenties) eventually was put out of the house after a series of intense fuck ups, and eventually died from a drug overdose at her boyfriend's house. The older sister has fared better. She's 28 years old, her adoptive father is dead now for 4 years and her mother is now living in an apartment for the elderly. But still the older sister has a long way to go. Who knows what will happen to her after her mother dies, which could come at any time. I've cautioned her mother to set her inheritance up so it's doled out in small increments. If she gets close to a million dollars in one lump sum it will be a massive disaster.

My niece, who’s 27 now, is a pig. My sister totally enabled it by being her maid. My partner’s three nephews, all under 18, are pigs. Their mom goes through their rooms a few times a day to collect all the dirty dishes, lets them pile up mounds of dirty clothes that they’d never dare wash themselves, cleans their pissed up toilet multiple times a day for them. My partner and I shudder to think what their own places will look like, or if they’ll be looking for wives who are maids. Our pug used to make a beeline for one nephew’s room because he knew where all the food crumbs were.

This thread reminds me of just how incredibly disgusting both my mom's and my dad's houses were. I can't even begin to describe the kind of Filth I grew up in even though at my mom's we were constantly cleaning the house.

Like for instance as a teenager every year we had to requalify for housing assistance which includes them doing an inspection to ensure habitability. One of the bigger chores we had to do was wipe down all of the walls in the house especially the kitchen and living room that had been stained with the tar from my mom's chain smoking.

by Anonymousreply 23December 8, 2024 1:37 PM

Or maybe not tar whatever it is that causes the really sticky yellow grossness that creates a film on the walls when you smoke inside.

I guess they reminded me of my mom's house mostly because bloody pads were just always in the bathroom garbage and the dogs were always getting into it. Chelsea would leave her bloody underwear soaking in the sink.

by Anonymousreply 25December 8, 2024 1:39 PM

As far as dishes with food left on them my mom would do a sweep of the house before she do a load of dishes because they're always plates bowls cups left all over.

Food handling was also appalling at our house. My mom would just put meat out on the counter usually to thigh and the blood would get all over and juices. Leftovers were never put away they just be left in the electric frying pan to be easily reheated for next evening. Hamburger helper Rice-A-Roni taco meat spaghetti sauce whatever it just stayed out until the other finished it or it grew some sort of mold.

It was always a disappointment when you go to think you could easily reheat something only to open the lid and find mold. A lot of times it was like a white fluffy mold I think usually when it was something with hamburger in it.

The stink must be unbearable.

He was going in there to get the lighter, wtf? They're trash, why does she need a lighter? Also, way to text your gross kid while she's at school. Yeah this whole thing is gross.

This is a parenting issue. Parents made us all clean up after ourselves from a very young age.

We all live in spotless homes now as adults. I mention this because it's a life skill that needs to be taught. It's no coincidence that all three of us are this way.
