This 18-year-old returned home for her first Thanksgiving weekend with her family since starting college, and it did not take long for her to reignite her ongoing feud with her entitled stepfather.

This dude was a manchild, pure and simple. He completely lacked the ability to clean up after himself, often leaving the bathroom in a state of total disarray. It was as if he expected all the women in his household to fix his messes for him. His entitlement was unique. It wasn't like he ordered anyone around. It was just ingrained behavior.

Well, the author of this story was never a fan of his, and the way he frequently refused to clean the bathroom became emblematic of a larger problem within the family. So, she started tampering with his bath products and making his experience just as messy. She also constantly alerted her mother every time her stepfather left a gross mess in the house. 

Eventually, his behavior improved, but as she states in her story, once she left for college, those old habits came back. Now that she's here for the weekend, she only has a limited amount of time to ensure that he takes care of his things again.

  • Rather then him finding out what you have been doing and potentially risking jail time if he decides to press charges. It's worth more to find some decent roommates and put distance
