It doesn't matter..he wouldn't put the rug in the dryer either...all of ya, bite me. If you had just used the cattle prod earlier we wouldn't be having this discussion. If she left the rug on the floor it would probably be dry by now........ Jeff and Tony..bite me hard!! did the rug dry yet.. you can dry off before you get out of the shower but you still have wet feet..i know .. step on the rug outside of the tub.. Exactly! Why would someone want to have to drag the rug off the tub everytime they wanted to take a shower. Makes no sense..... |

There is a saying.."Would you rather be right or happy?" From raising 3 boys alone I can say that guys brains are very different. I have always had a thing about pulling the shower curtain open and draping the rug over the side of the tub after a shower. I have taught this to all of my boys...adamantly at times, making them go back into the bathroom to do this. My 18 year old son has never grasped this..he never does it, and never has. I have been told by others offering their advise.."make him do it, he has to learn". Well a couple years ago I just gave up, I go in after him and just do it. He is a great kid, honor roll student, home at night, does dishes, still kisses me hello and good bye. His brain just does not compute on why these 2 things need to be done.. He is not intentionally doing this to piss me off, and so when I finally realized that, I let the battle go. It matters not and it is one less small thing to worry about. After all this time, all the good things about him are more important than the shower curtain and rug....do we sometimes hold onto some silly battle just to prove a point, or just to win? Growing up in a house full of women, I've learned to choose my battles wisely. |

My parents divorced when I was eight and I have three sisters, so it was my mom, sisters, and we even had a female cat. The funny thing is I was the only one in the house that cat did not like. |

I have a rug outside my shower and a towel hung on the shower rod when wet and folded over the edge of shower when dry. I use the towel to keep the rug from getting wet! Maybe I need help....
Lady, Glad you gave up so long ago...the big bathroom battle with my son was trying to get him to stop leaving his wet towel in a heap on the floor... |

Oh, the really silly part is that this boy has 2 towels, one for his body and one for his hair and he keeps them hung up in his room..would never put them on the floor... we all have our little quirks I suppose, not worth arguing over. |
