I have a visceral disgust reaction to hair off the body. Hair attached, fine. A singular hair floating in the breeze, it’s like some people’s reaction to seeing a spider or a snake. 🤮
Cleaning the drains is one of my worst nightmares. I’m getting sick to my stomach even thinking about it.
It's not fair. Nothing ever is! I could write a whole post on the hair in the drain... But the question is, the strip ends with happy dad, unhappy daughter... is it worth it?
it's totally worth it, because it doesn't end there, but later, with a happy daughter who at some point realizes she's also grossed out by others' people hair...only our own hair don't irritate us as much)) So she starts cleaning common spaces after herself, even giving good example to others, who start doing the same.
Many times, we find ourselves in situations where there are tens of people sharing them showers or kitchen....my childhood and youth -common spaces were heavily used by many. One has to be considerate.
They also told me back then: "If you're not doing something-means there is somebody else who does it instead"
My wife and I like to say we aren't raising children, we are raising adults. We want them to learn how to thrive as adults in a world where often things are lined up against them. Two things they can always control are their effort and their attitude.
Fortunately, the strip is just an exaggerated snapshot of an incident. But my parenting goal has never been to not have my children get mad at me. We have a household of six very opinionated and verbose people, that sometimes leads to conflict. My parenting goal has always been to allow everyone to fully feel their emotions and to treat each other respectfully, even during conflict, or in other terms, we aspire to the Willie Nelson and Annie D'Angelo household rules:
I was only looking at the pix and saying the smiley face reversed! It' takes a lot being the opposite of asshole when you get tested! Love the Willie and Anne rules! Ones to live by! Thank you Jason.
Lol! This is hilarious, Jason. And I literally just cleaned the shower drain yesterday, which always leaves me on the verge of a much worse scene, as those dirty dad deeds never seem to come easy or are ever truly done!
A hair razing tale!
Ha!

I hear you! I still gag sometimes when dealing with the hair in the drains in a house with some very long-haired people 🤢

1. Don't be an asshole
2. Don't be an asshole
3. Don't be a goddamn asshole
🤣 And so far, that's worked out pretty well.

Awww... man... the hair in the drain is such an issue. Love the irony here.
Thank you!
So glad we now have separate washrooms.
It does make a big difference!

Dirty Dad Deeds sounds like a good chapbook title!
