‘I don’t see how I’m being unreasonable when it makes my sons uncomfortable.’
A man has been slammed for banning his stepdaughter from using period products in the bathroom she shares with his teenage sons. His new wife moved into his house with her 19-year-old daughter six months ago – and they had been settling in nicely until one of his three sons complained about his stepsister’s use of sanitary products.
Taking to Reddit, he said: “I have three sons aged 18, 16 and 15. She’s [my stepdaughter] a really good kid and she’s a good influence on my sons, I really enjoy having her around. My wife and her daughter moved into my house and sold theirs. My stepdaughter’s father isn’t present in her life, nor is my sons’ mother. All four children share a bathroom.”
He went on to explain how his sons have never shared their house with a woman before – only having short visitation periods with their mum when they were younger. He added: “My eldest son, 18, came to me last week and told me that his stepsister disposes of her used sanitary products in the trash can they share, but doesn’t use toilet roll or sandwich bags to disguise what they are.
