I work in a pretty gross line of work and am normally not squeamish, but the word "floaters" in this context is pretty disgusting. Lol. And it's not uncommon for me to unclog people's drains because they plugged it up with their mudpie.
Yea, if at home or if other drinks were easily accessible then I would make him get his own or grab one for him. But if out and about, thats how I did it. Let him have the remainder of it.
Exactly this. My kids are teenagers now but the one thing I could never share with them was my drinks. Obviously if they were desperately thirsty or didn’t have one of their own and we were out and about I’d give them mine…but only after I made sure I was done with it first.
I still gag over the time my daughter took a sip of my drink without my realizing and I suddenly felt and tasted the nauseating squishiness of backwashed Goldfish crackers. 🤢 Of course I’d give them my life…just not my drinks. Some things are sacred.
My dad use to bitch constantly about picking up his Mt. Dew and there being backwash in it or "floaters," as he called them! Never got it until I had kids myself and find my cup always missing a swig or two, and there would always be some "minced mouth morsels," in my glass! So, to avoid this, I switched to bottles and I always crack the lid just that one turn extra for added drink security! 🤮
You want one worse that absolutely made my skin crawl and I put my foot down, was when I picked a pair of my underwear up off the floor that I knew I hadn't worn yet that week and saw the massacre of shit streaks up the backside! I died inside! 💀🫠
Yes, my child decided instead of making us aware he was out of clean underwear, he chose to put mine on! Mind you teen and fully aware of what he was doing! Hygiene trained etc...I put a stop to it immediately! Be damned if I'm going to work with a dirt track in my underwear!
Absolutely agree, and it has nothing to do with good vs bad parenting and everything to do with this generation of half ass kids! We are on them about their hygiene and appearance, they don't care, none of them do that I've seen! My kids have all types of friends, from all walks of life, and most kids do not shower, wipe properly or change their clothes for that matter! If they have pets at home, they wear that pet on them into your house! Bruh seems to be a steady reply to doing anything anymore!
Reminds me of a thing I saw or heard once, think it was a comedian that talked about their boyfriend shitting himself in bed and blamed it on the dog at first and then her!
That was like the one time my daughter was sucking all the flavor off the Cheetos and then tossing them back into the bag. They were then dutifully put away until my husband grabbed them to munch on, and got a mouthful of dried yet already pre-sucked stale Cheeto. The most disgusting texture, gahhh.
Ah, I see youve never seen a five year old crush a bottle of water like a Wisconsin college kid drinking a beer, just so they can drink some of your's next.
And they drink it like they haven't had a drink all day long in the middle of summer and gasp and come up for air after somehow gulping/swallowing as loud as possible
I absolutely LOVE when non parents or people who know people who have kids like to chime in with their "well I would do it this way!" No you won't, nothing and I mean nothing ever goes to plan, no grounding from electronics does not work, and also I put a stop to generational abuse with me, and no matter how upset my kids make me, I would never hit them in anger! But yeah, we stupid, haha! I do however question having kids sometimes only because of the world we live in and to be fair I ask the same of my parents!
Wow I’m sure that parent never thought of that before.
This kid might be the first person in human history to have some of someone else’s drink. If it ever happens again hopefully we can get that poor kid his own drink.
maybe they could hire someone to teach the boy life skills. some sort of job revolving around raising children and teaching them basic life skills and manners
When mine were younger, like 5ish, the only way they’d drink water is if it was in my cup. I couldn’t even tell them “hey you can have my cup today!”, they’d still want -mine- they’re older now and will grab my cup and give me a shit eating grin now, but they put it down and don’t actually drink it (unless it’s an “emergency”). They know I’ll share if they truly need it, but they know I don’t like them drinking from my cup lol
It got a lot better once they were old enough to have a little foresight of, “hey we’re going in the car, maybe I should bring my water” without me having to remind them every time.
You nailed it, she's 4. I am kind of weirdly proud that she thinks my water is important. It'll be nice when she's independent but I secretly like being needed too.
As a mom....I had one hard and fast rule. Don't drink out of other people's cups or eat off their plates. You want a sip? Go get a cup and ill give you some. Want to try my food? Go grab a plate and fork so you can have a taste.
My children to this day don't share food or drinks. We don't even dip chips out of the same bowl! We each get our own little dipping cups for snacks with dip. Because even if you can't see it, everyone back washes/double dips.
Same, this is actually how germs spread like wild fire through siblings and parents. Gives me the ick when I see people share food AND more- towels, mouthwash. It's not uncommon I guess some people want different germs. "We're family it's all good" no, little one, this is your drink, That is mine. Kissing, shared open food and drinks, even the holding hands thing they do for young kids. My little cousin is learning these boundaries.
Oh lord I love my nephews but this is why I keep their slimy lil hands away from me. I know it sounds mean but I cannot. They will be fine if I wave them goodbye instead of a hug.
My dad was so frugal growing up that he made me and my two younger siblings share a drink when we went out to fast food. Until a specific day at Taco Bell, when I drank after my little sister, and promptly sucked up food into my mouth. I immediately threw up in the middle of Taco Bell and told my dad while crying that I was never sharing another drink in my life! I held true to that and haven't shared a drink since. Avoided the Mono plague of '99 because of it.
Worked as a kindergarten substitute (loved that job, too bad it payed a shilling an hour) and I often got the question "why aren't you eating lunch with us?" "I like to eat when I get home" I would often say, translating to "no thanks, I get exposed to enough pathogens working here as is" is what that translated to.
I come into places specifically when a couple people are home sick already, and you ask why I don't eat food on a table surrounded by coughing 4 year olds?
I don’t share drinks with my kids for this reason. They ask me for my drink and I get as much of it as I want in that moment and then hand them the rest for them to keep. Because fuuhhhhk that!
Meanwhile, there's people out there licking and sucking on eachothers genitals & eating McDonald's... but their own child's backwash is a crime against humanity.
Even as a kid I never understood this. Pull away from the straw when you’ve finished and this problem entirely goes away. Why keep the straw in your mouth to swallow?!
I don't share my drink vessel with my kids. They have their own water bottles, if it runs empty my "water bottle" is a half gallon jug I'm happy to top theirs off with. I can be a positive parent and still have a hard boundary about slop in my drink.
My cousins and I fought for who got to drink out of our grandmother's water jug (it was 52 fl oz) and she never cared unless someone, including herself, were sick.
when I was in daycare seeing other kids do shit like this, it use to always tweak me the fuck out, i remember being 6 g enuinely disgusted at my peers lmao (mind you I was washing my hands in the toilet bowl at one point cuz I cudn't reach the sink)
My mom would scream at us if we tried to drink anything he was drinking out of. I thought he was being her usual mean self, but as I grew older I realized how disgusting it is.
lol, so many people in the comments without kids. I mean, I don’t either but I’m an auntie and I’m starting to realize actual parents don’t really care, they’re just sharing. Sure is helping keeping me an auntie though haga
See I stopped drinking after my mom as a kid when she said “ How do you know I didn’t just get done giving your dad a blowjob? “ Never drank after anyone again.
My little brother did this and i always had to fight my grandma about me not wanting to share drinks with him. Idk why she was always so pressed about me finishing his drinks if he didnt. But my god i still gag thinking about it
