Bloody selfish teenagers!!!

[mrsshears]

Dd1 14 ,has proceded to use all of dh's designer hair and bodywash,one of only 2 products he owns,dd however has a dressing table full of products but no she has to use all of dh's instead!!!
This is not the first time she has done this kind of thing,the selfishness of it makes me fume!!!
I have told her not to bother asking for anything(pocketmoney,sweets etc) for at least a month!

Now I feel bad for using my 13yo DSs body wash. I have my own, but his designer one is lush.

Not worth a months punishment though a OP

Dustinthewind, that is not a particularly recent photo, but I have 5 DC;

Porter & Preston (twins, now at university)
Parker
Penny
Paige - who is still a baby.

Don''t ask me their exact ages - I find it difficult to remember

It's not the shower gel per se, it's the principle. Borrowing other people's stuff without asking and using it all is not on. It's not the first time it's happened either.

In our house it's fair game if it's left in the bathroom. Both me and 19 year old DSD have learnt that the hard way. In our house it's not the teenagers nicking the stuff, it's my 8 and 5 year old dds. They both seem quite partial to Soap and Glory mostly, (which both me and DSD use). I've started leaving my good stuff in my bedroom now and buying them Imperial Leather stuff to use, although they manage go through a bottle in less than a week!

Dd knew it was dh's and not to be used,it was a christmas present of his.
She has form too and has previously taken anything that she fancies from my wardrobe and make up bag,hence the harsh punishment.
Its not like she doesnt have lots of her own stuff either,as chaoticangel says its the principle really rather than what she has actually taken,the fact she feels she can just help herself to other peoples things.

Like the approach Grovel Play'em at their own game. Have yet to find a pair of DD2's tights in a decent enough state to borrow though...

Mrs Terry is that the soap with the grey pubes embedded in it?

I don't think there is anything harsh in expecting everyone in a family to have a bit of respect for each other, it's only polite to ask before taking something that you know is a bit special.

My kids are just not allowed to use my bathroom, ever. Now that's harsh

you just don't take other people's stuff unless you are sure it is ok/have permission. it is about respect. it is not just some bogstandard showergel, it is something that belongs to someone else and was a present.

Freshlettice you are no longer welcome in my house either. Now I have to bleach my brain.

I guess my problem with grasping the magnitude of the crime is that shampoo is just shampoo, body wash is just body wash. We just tend to buy big bottles of shampoo, bubble bath etc and anyone who needs it helps themselves. DH has some Bulldog toiletries - I use them sometimes when I run out of other stuff and he's never complained. If I had anything really special I keep it out of the way - not because I have to 'hide' it, just because anything that is left in the bathroom is for everyone's use.
