(Not a newbie, recent namechanger)
DD(nearly 14) came home from after school activity with splotches of white paint on her school uniform jumper, black jeans (new) and school shoes.
This isn't the first time so I'm really pissed off! It doesn't come out in the washing machine, it comes out with a good lot of hard scrubbing but it leaves faded patches behind on her jumper and jeans. She knows this, we've been here before - several times!
She's got a right strop on, arguing back to everything I say, constantly interrupting me. She thinks it doesn't really matter because I'LL be able to get it out, and there's only a week and a half left of school term so what's the big deal?! This is uniform that will still fit her in September and was like new this morning.
AIBU to have got mightily annoyed and made her do the scrubbing? She thinks this is highly unfair and couldn't be bothered to try doing it properly so has given up and just left it scrunched up on the worktop. I'm not doing it for her.
She thinks it even more unfair that I said if she comes home covered in paint again and anything needs replacing, it'll come out of her pocket money, whether it was her fault or not (of course she thinks it wasn't her fault, whereas I think she should have been more careful)
MN Jury, what say you?
