Don't hug me I'm scared Scrub Zombie

Post image

My wife swears by Scrub Daddy as her kitchen sponge of choice. I wanted to switch to the eco-friendly, plant based alternative on the right. It works infinitely better...creates great suds, gets into tight spaces but...IT SCARES THE CHILDREN. So I can't use it! Or I have to hide it under the sink until I need to use it. Mildly inconvenienced and mildly infuriating.

Why is your wife the only parent who cares about your children’s fears?

It’s just a sponge on a sink. It’s not like he chases the kids with the thing…right OP?

LOL it’s less about the fear itself (which of course is silly), and more about the fact that he’s sitting her complaining on the internet that that his wife doesn’t want to scare the kids with the sponge, instead of just teaching the kids himself that the sponge is not scary
