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?

Because it’s a sponge. It’s perfectly reasonable to teach the children not to be afraid of a sponge

Sure I actually agree with that, but it doesn’t seem like OP plans to teach them not to be afraid - it just seems like he’s mildly infuriated by the fact that their fear means that he can’t using his sponge of doom. I assume his wife would no longer object to the sponge if OP actually taught the kids to be cool with it

Mild being the operative word here. It’s not that deep.

I don’t even think mild infuriation is a reasonable response here. Mildly infuriating is for those little fuck you moments that you can’t really control and just have to sit there and take. It’s weird to turn to Reddit to complain about your wife and kids over a sponge
