SD threw away a brand new deoderant stick

AmIWicked's picture

I picked up a Brand new deodorant stick out of the trash in the bathroom this morning. It was female, baby powder scented, and SD12 is the only female using that bathroom so I went into her bedroom and asked her about it.
She very nonchalantly said, "It wouldn't crank up."
So I checked it and cranked the bottom right there in front of her. It very easily pushed up new deodorant. So I underhanded tossed it at her an she caught it.
She said back to me, "Yeah,... I didn't want to work that hard." And she sat it down on her bed.
So I said back to her, "Maybe next time I go shopping I won't buy any more deodorant for you," and I changed my voice to whiny, "because I don't wanna work that hard." Sad
She just rolled her eyes at me and I left her bedroom,... I hope that got the point across.

Who can afford to buy a new deodorant stick every week because a 12 year old doesn't want to put forth effort cranking it up to reveal new deodorant???!!!

wth was I thinking's picture

Man, I thought I was lazy! They hate it when you whine back at them, I do it all the time. }:) Even DH has gotten in on it, it's so much fun.

I wouldn't buy anything else for her. At all. Beyond food and the very VERY basic essentials? Nope, not gonna happen. And take her anywhere? Do any other special favors for her? No way. Like punkin said, I'd whine and just tell her "I don't want to work that hard!"

I quit doing anything "extra" for my skids for that very reason. They can't be bothered to do ANYTHING at all, so why should I go out of MY way? Hell with it.

Let her dad deal with her lazy ass. You're not required to do anything for her, so anything you do feel like doing, she ought to be grateful for. (She won't be, but that's beside the point...)

I've gotten to the same point with my skids..not because I'm trying to prove a point but simply because I'm just plain sick of them either wrecking things and or..losing them.

Not my fault they blew it. Money doesn't grow on trees if I have any say about it!!

I use Nexxus shampoo huge pump bottles. After I noticed mine getting used I saved the old bottles and I keep filling them up with thrift store shampoo.

I then said, "Here's some of your own. Just keep the bottles in your bath rooms, so you don't have to keep coming into mine."

}:)

I enjoy when one of them say, "I just LOVE this nice shampoo!"

I can be so wicked sometimes,...

i put a nice brush in SD13's stockign this year thinking she'd leave it at our place. NOPE! so everytime she comes over she "forgets" her brush and my dumbass fiance lets her use his.

of course, if her mother made sure she was showered and dressed before seh came over she wouldnt need the brush. i really bitched out fiance the other day adn told him to tell BM that SD is not to come to our house in her PJ's any more.

With my skids, it's toothbrushes. They'll get out a new one every single time they brush if you let them. I bought a huge pack of not-so-cheap toothbrushes at Costco several months ago for myself. Well, the skids found it when they were rummaging through my bathroom cabinets. They took the whole damn PACK without saying anything to me or DH about it.

I noticed the following Monday morning that all 12 of those toothbrushes were laid out on their bathroom counter, and the shredded container was stuffed back on a shelf in the bathroom behind some towels. God only knows who used them. They didn't even know. So there was an entire $15 pack of toothbrushes wasted, because I damn sure wasn't going to use them after they put them in their germ-riddled mouths. They get sick every other week, so I wasn't going to risk getting their bacteria near me. I made the skids throw them all away and go back to the toothbrushes they'd been using all along. DH makes sure they get a new brush at least every three months, and there was no need for them to raid my stash and use them all up within the span of about two and a half days.

Three skids, two and a half days, 12 toothbrushes. Just wasted. GOD I was pissed about that. DH just shrugged and said "Well, you know how kids are."

Me: "No, DH. Why don't you TELL me 'how kids are,' because mine would've never done that!"

DH actually tried to blame my older son, and I told him to not even try it. My son brushes his teeth in a separate bathroom and never even goes in that bathroom. I HATE it when he tries to foist blame off on one of my kids when he and I both know damn well it was one of his unruly brats that did it.

DH said he was going to buy me another pack of toothbrushes, but I have yet to see it. That was about three months ago. I'm not holding my breath.

My SD is irresponsible as hell. Makes me sick all the expensive things she's ruined just out of pure laziness and irresponsibility.

Five laptops in four years. Two tablets in one year. Two iPhones in six months.

The list goes on and on, including an expensive brush I bought her that she told me she wore the bristle heads off from. I've had the same brush for 4 years and use it daily. Not even near wearing the bristle heads off from.

She pulls this crap all the time..wrecking things. I honestly think it's because she gets bored with it and wants a new one.

Her brother just "helps himself" to things around here. I go to look for something..and it's gone. He's nabbed the new computer keyboard I bought, nabbed the charging cord to my cell phone, and just recently..nabbed the cords off my printer so that I had to order new ones. I can't tell you how livid this makes me!!

I had these great computer speakers that I told him he could "borrow"...NEEVVER saw them again and he claims he lost em.

Yeah..sure.

His dad and I looked at speakers and decided to get me a really nice one. It soo rocks!!

Anyways, his son sees it and says, "So that's the extra expensive speaker Dad bought you??"

I WANTED to say, "NO..it's the expensive speaker your dad and I bought ourselves.."

Later that night his dad told me that his son hit him up for $100 bucks since "that's the money he spent on his wife..and that HE should get the same.."

Oh.my. GAWD that kid has big ones!!!

I'd mention it to your husband once. ONCE. Then I'd let it go. If he wants to deal with it, he will. It's not your job.

what is up with these apathetic dads who say things like "that's how kids are", "she's just being a kid, that's what they do" or my fave "she's not bothering anyone".
