Today, I was wondering why my home smelled so weird, until I found out that my 4 year old son had been secretly scattering around food he didn't like to eat throughout the house. How did I find out? No one else in this family leaves half eaten spinach all over my underwear drawer. FML

Today, while searching for the pungent odor that has been lingering in my son's bedroom, I discovered various types of juice my son has been "storing" to make wine. FML

Today, I grabbed a fresh hand towel from the drawer in the bathroom. I wiped my hands and noticed they smelled like shit. My 6-year-old had wiped poo from his finger onto the dark grey towels. I guess he sometimes helps the poo out. Good to know. FML

Today, I finally found where the awful lingering stench in my house was coming from. My son thought it would be funny to piss in the baby's humidifier. He's 16. FML

Today, I was doing the laundry and changing the bed sheets. I found most of my underwear under my step daughters bed, when I asked her, she said that she liked the way they smelled. FML

Today, I realized that my two year-old likes to help with the groceries. And by help, I mean hide a bag of chicken. It's been two weeks since I went grocery shopping and I still can't find it, but it smells like something died in my house. FML

Today, I was holding my son and smelled poop so I checked his diaper, but there was nothing there. Then I realized it was my breath. FML

Today, while visiting my son at university, I noticed a funky smell in his room. He admitted to not changing his bedsheets since he moved in 2.5 years ago. I’ve raised an animal. FML

Today, after finishing the laundry, I took clothes out of the dryer and took a big whiff of their delicious clean scent. That was when I noticed that my mom was watching me, and I had just smelled my dad's still-stained underwear that was on top. FML

Today, I discovered a drawer full of chocolates, cookies and baked goods in my house. When I asked my sister what the drawer was, she told me that my mom thought it would be a good idea to hide the fattening foods from me. My entire family had known about the food drawer, except me. FML

Today, my son pooped in his diaper and managed to somehow take it off without my knowledge. He then sat down on the carpet and imitated a dog with worms, all the way down the hallway, through the living room, and into my bedroom. FML

In most families you eat together at one table and get up when everybody is ready. How exactly did your 4 year old son manage to scatter around food througout the house?

Ours does . . . every single meal . . . I feel sorry for those who don't, it's the perfect time to spend with the family and just enjoy each other's company in this fast-paced world. I am on your 4 y/o's side OP, spinach??!! Are you trying to kill the kid?!

Maybe they spend the rest of the day with their kid, and give them an early dinner so they can have their evenings alone with their partner. Don't make assumptions. And as for the spinach plenty of young children are happy to eat it if they haven't been raised on over-processed crap. God forbid the OP try to feed her kid something healthy and high in iron which is pretty important for kids development.

So you give a 4 year old kid a meal to eat somewhere alone? Maybe I only know old school families, who still eat together and care for what their children are eating. But I don't have any interest in meeting the other ones...

I don't, and that's not what I said. I said plenty of people eat at different times(not places) to their kids after spending all day with them so they actually have alone time with their partner and so don't make assumptions that people who don't eat with their kids don't spend plenty of time with them. The kid could have taken the food at any point, or snuck it into his pockets when his parents turned their back for a second. And I don't think the OP serving his kid spinach implies he doesn't care what his kid is eating... Eating with your family and being a judgmental bitch hardly makes you old school either, just by the way.

You shouldn't be so sure it was your kid. Maybe your wife sprinkled spinach on your underwear hoping it would give your dick a "Popeye" moment. Do you have trouble staying "strong to the finitch?"

My family sits at the table and eats dinner together. Granted it is typically just myself and my two year old, but I require we both sit at the table and eat with the TV off. I don't know anyone who lets their young child run around with food in their hands. That's a recipe for a large Mess!

They didn't say the kid took it during meal time. Maybe he was getting up in the night or something to get it out of the cupboards and hide it so it couldn't be cooked.
