Today, I have to use the same techniques to trick my 24-year-old husband into brushing his teeth, as I do my 2-year-old. FML

Today, I realized I have to ask my husband if he’s brushed his teeth for the day the same way I have to ask our 5, 7 and 8 year-old children. FML

Today, I taught my younger cousins a more effective way to brush their teeth. Tonight when I was getting them ready for bed, I asked them why they weren't brushing their teeth like I taught them to. The littlest one replied, "Daddy said if we do then we'll have ugly teeth like yours." FML

Today, I asked my husband for help with a household chore. His response was to fake snore and pretend to be asleep. Later, our toddler pulled the exact same BS when I asked him to pick up his toys. FML

Today, my husband and I got into an argument over him not brushing his teeth. It ended with him snapping his toothbrush in half. He's 52. FML

Today, I had to beg and argue with my boyfriend to get him to take a shower and brush his teeth. This has become a recurring argument now we're confined together. FML

Best teeth in the game
Today, as always, my mom loudly asked me if I'd brushed my teeth, then replied to my yes with, “I don’t believe you.” All because I forgot to brush my teeth once when I was 5. I’m 17 now. FML

Every time I see an FML like this, I can't help but wonder where the OP found someone like this and then decided to marry them. Male or female, the stories I read on here just astound me.

that's very stereotypical though.

If I've said it once I've said it a hundred times. Either you knew what he was like before you married him or you didn't. Either way you still married him and you deserve it.

maybe he/they just wanted ninja turtle toothpaste and a spiderman spin brush, because awesome!

I've noticed a lot of stories like this pop up over the years of browsing this site. I literally do not understand how people can date someone with such poor hygiene, never mind actually marrying them. It isn't your job to teach a 25 year old man child how to brush his teeth!

How does someone trick someone into brushing their teeth? I've met some people with real nasty breathe.

YDI for saying yes to someone so immature.

My boyfriend is the same way.. He can go days without brushing his teeth until I finally have to tell him his breath smells like rotten garlic. What's your trick? Because just telling him to brush every day like a normal human doesn't seem to have any impact.
