Just found this in dd suitcase *pic* Where do I leave it?!

What do I do with it?! It's in a big suitcase that she's brought home from boarding school and I'm sorting out her washing because she's going away for a month. She's still at school.

I have no problem with it at all, but I really, REALLY don't want to embarrass her. Where can I leave it surreptitiously?! To make matters worse the suitcase is being thrown out today because it's broken so I can't just leave it in her room - it would look very obvious and then she'd be embarrassed.

Arghh!

Really? You really have to ask that question? Give up playing dumb and goading OP it's pathetic

Well I wasn't. It's quite clear what OP wanted from this thread and it wasn't advice. I asked the question a few times and I commented about how it shouldn't be embarrassing given the relationship she told us they had.

I commented that OP kept ignoring the question because it's really rude to continually ignore someone. Also, I was not the only person on the thread to ask the same. OP was not interested in answering because they knew exactly how they wanted the thread to go.

There was NO goading and NO playing dumb. Even if there was; it would still be better than being an outright nasty bitch who picks up on someone's genuine post to make themselves look good.

If anyone is pathetic on this thread, it's not me.

sorry I misspelled 'Drawers' on my phone late at night.

Don't apologise, I did say at the time to call me a dick. I thought it was commonly used in certain parts of the UK, but if it was late at night when you posted it you must be quite far from the UK.

I can assure you, me and my university level English straight A grades will do better in future

Erm; ok.

Stop emptying her suitcase she's obviously not a child Confused

FamilyOfAliens · 04/07/2019 08:55

I remember when my mum asked me plain as day over a cuppa... have you got a any lube love I've run out...

Cool story bro

What's so difficult about saying to the daughter "Hi darling, I've emptied your case as requested and done the washing. I've popped your lube and condoms onto your bedside cabinet" and then just get on with life. It's a short adult conversation that acknowledges her sexuality, her maturity and also the OPs ability to be able to have a different / stronger / more adult type of conversation now that her daughter is a woman. It seems like the perfect opportunity to transition into a new understanding / relationship. Is it so different to when a woman asks her friend / mum / sister for a tampax because her period has come early?

I would be fucking furious if my mum put put photos of my dirty washing, in every sense, on the Internet for the shitty newspapers to pick up. All under the guise of not wanting to embarrass me about lube.

And the used condoms? Absolutely grim. But avoidable had you not felt the need to open the packet.

HappyNOTdriving · 04/07/2019 12:05

Can I ask did your dd know you were going to do her washing for her?

If she did then what the fuck was she playing at leaving used condoms for you to find! She knows that is disgusting, would she pack used tampons for you to throw away for her?

you need to tell her that while you don't mind doing her washing for her but your doing her a favour and would appreciate that next time she didn't leave used condoms as her sex life is her own but you'd rather not have to handle the used results of it!

NoSquirrels · 04/07/2019 12:22

Nothing about this is normal!

OP adamant the DD not having sex at school. So DD had sex (with the lube and condoms) elsewhere, off the premises, then carefully packed up & brought back multiple used condoms (& the lube) to school, where she packed them in the case her mother would be unpacking...

Unlikely behaviour!

Either a) it’s a disgusting prank from mates at school or b) she’s shsghing at school (hence not disposing of the evidence ... but even then, keeping ‘used’ condoms is grim).

On both counts you’d need to tell her you found them. Meh to the lube - embarrassing but hey-ho. Used condoms - grim and really disrespectful, plus lots of questions.
