Is there a self-care or toiletry product you use all the time and spend a lot of money on? Many of us have a product or item that is very special to us. When someone uses or messes with it, it’s one of the most annoying things in the world. 

One woman recently had to teach her two children a lesson after they wouldn’t stop messing with her expensive prescription shampoo.

She’s a mom of two, a son and a daughter, and both live with her. One of them has graduated from college, and the other is a junior. 

She has a scalp condition, so she has to routinely pay for an expensive special shampoo that she gets a prescription for.

It comes in a bottle specifically meant to be kept upright, and each bottle costs $80. If the bottle is upside down or on its side, the product will leak out, which is like money going down the drain. 

Both of her kids have products in the same bathroom, and she’s always respected them and never touched anything. 

“I have zero desire to smell like a high school locker room,” she said.

However, no matter how many times she’s told them not to, her kids always move around her things and store her expensive shampoo bottles upside down.

“They have already wasted an entire bottle of my shampoo by storing it upside down after they touched it for some reason,” she explained. “It all dripped out the spout.”

She gave them a serious talking to and told them they should not be touching her things. She also said that if they accidentally knock over the shampoo bottle, they need to put it back the way it was. 

However, her talk did not work, as she recently came home and found the shampoo bottle upside down and leaking once again.

So, she knew she needed to set some reminders around the house for her children so they wouldn’t do it again. 

“I ordered 500 stickers that say ‘this side up’ with an arrow pointing upwards when the words are upright, and I put them on everything in the house that might leak,” she recalled.

Not only did she put the stickers on her shampoo, but she put them on things like their ketchup, relish, mayonnaise, etc.

When her kids had friends over, they had to explain the reasoning for all the stickers in the house, which was super embarrassing for them. 

Now, her kids are angry with her and think the stickers are over the top. She told them she’d take the stickers off everything if they started paying her back for the shampoo they wasted, but they have yet to do that. 

Do you think she went overboard with the stickers, or did her kids need to learn their lesson?
