This may be silly - but I don't care.......
My lovely SD13 (lives w/ us FT) has this nasty spray, which she knows I hate. I have hated it for the past three years now. Well, her bedroom is right off our kitchen so as soon as she opens her door her nasty room stench comes out. (it is so gross - she doesn't have to clean it) Every morning she will open her door and spray it 15 times on herself and then in my kitchen - Just to be a BI****
Yesterday I came downstairs and I had enough!!! I took my Febreze and went nutz!!! In her room in the living room and said if you do that to me again I am throwing it in the garbage......
You know what daddy came down and said to both of us.......
"If you complain about it that much I would spray it all the time just because you don't like it - it's your own fault."
(then the smirk on SD face) - she won again....
It's not silly, it's absurd!
It's not silly, it's absurd! WTH is the matter with your DH?? When we were younger every time we went to the mall my sister would douse herself in Liz Clairborne perfume at the store and then we would all have to sit in the car on the way home and deal with her stench. Thank Gawd, my Step Dad told her to cut it out or he'd leave her at the mall to stink up the place.
Can't you go in the bathroom and pretend to be sick? Your DH would almost have to tell her to cut it out if it was actually making you sick, right?????
I would put some sort of hair
I would put some sort of hair remover in it....then hopefully she sprays it on her head at some point
Or, or.....top it off with
Or, or.....top it off with some Lick-n-Stick deer attractant!!!! She won't know why all the big bucks are trying to, how should i say this, "date her"!!!! Bwahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!
I would let my dh know that
I would let my dh know that was unacceptable and why. Then I would take ALL of her spray and put it up and tell her she can have it back when she can use it normally. And IF she doesn't once she gets it back it goes in the trash and if she gets more it will go in the trash so I wouldn't be wasting your money as it will all go in the trash. I would also DARE my dh to say a word at that point and if he is so upset about it and yells he will leave I'd tell him he knows where the door is! And yes I have done this as I got so tired of the threats. It did work and he doesn't do it anymore.
I agree!
I agree!
I love your idea
I love your idea Purpledaisies but her room is off limits to me or anyone else for that matter; last time I went in and cleaned it she had a fit!!! Actuall tears and went running to daddy; and he said I was rude for invading HER privacy......MY DH is an ASSHOLE
OMG I totally get this! Our
OMG I totally get this! Our children (DH and I) know that their rooms are an extension of our house and so we can go in, kick them to the couch if company is coming etc but heaven forbid if we tell the SD's17 that they would have to give up their rooms.
When DH finished building the new rooms in the basement he wanted to show everyone all the work he had done and they (SD"S) actually told him he was not allowed to take anyone into their rooms. Thank god my DH is not a pushover and he told his daughters exactly what he thought of that and that the rooms were in his house and he built them so he would take whomever he wanted down to see, and that if they were embarrased b/c they were gross then they should clean them! GO DH finally!!!!
I am sneakier. I would
I am sneakier. I would mention to your DH that I read about how the sprays can affect your hormones. How it increases beard growth and messes with your genitals. How too much will definitely make your periods heavier and more cramping. How concerned you are and maybe she might like to lighten up on the spray.
And then there is the old reliable incense cones from Walmart. The purple one takes me back to the 60s and my uncles would pick my sister and I up and head for the local market after University. It is amazing how 7 and 9 yr olds can be bought with an icecream... dipped in chocolate of course.
Light an incense cone in the kitchen (and near her room). The cheaper the cone the more potent the smell. Truly, it keeps the kids out of my room!
I havent signed in, in a very
I havent signed in, in a very long time ..But this made my blood boil and I must say something!!!!!!! If my husband did that to me.............DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So frigin done......I would not put up with that crap one SINGLE SECOND!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are an adult, he is an adult, the child is a child......PERIOD. ITs your house....Im sorry But I just got a picture in my head of the situation happening to me ( I have a SD11) and I know as God is my witness I would no way tolerate that crap!
Thanks for taking the time to
Thanks for taking the time to sign in; Yes, it bad; I am pretty much leaving in March - I am sick of not being the adult..... It is just hard to walk away from 12 years-but since SD has moved in with us FT - this is how may day goes. I have become an angry, bitter person.......This is not me
I appreciate everyone's comments; I have been made to think I am the CRAZY one; it is nice to see I am not
Its relly hard for me to
Its relly hard for me to imagine a place in my house that is off limits to me.
What on earth is the matter
What on earth is the matter with your DH?! Throw the spray away. Then claim you don't know what happened to it.
Yeah this, Just throw it
Yeah this, Just throw it away.
I agree with the others!
I agree with the others! there is never a place in MY house that is off limits to me! I'm with the one that said if my dh this were are done! I'd still throw it away! I don;t know what happened to the stuff. I would do it every time she got a new one too. I would then claim each and every time I was accused that I am not allowed in her room remember!? }:)
Would it be possible to
Would it be possible to replace the contents of the spray?? If so... check out places where you can get hunting gear... I'm sure the smell of deer urine or skunk would really brighten her day..hahah
and if you can't just keep throwing it away.. and deny it to the grave!..lol
Yep, i would just throw the
Yep, i would just throw the damn spray away. Never say another word about it. If one of them asked me where it was I would look nonchalant and shrug my shoulders If she got some more I'd throw it away too. Repeat as many times as necessary until the both get it thru their thick skulls that you don't want it in your damn house. I'm not gonna lie-if i find something offensive of ss's in the house-I throw it out. Things that are just not allowed here and he brings anyway. He brings gum all the time although I've repeatedly asked him not to (noone can keep it in their mouths) so I just go in his room and throw it away. He brings sodas to our house-our kids only get sodas on special occassions so I throw those away. He bought firecrackers once and I threw them away. I have also thrown his clothes away. He will urinate in them and hide them somewhere around the house (it's a fun game)-I eventually am able to follow my nose and straight in the trash it goes.
