To Share, Or Not To Share
First let me say this post has nothing to do with coupons. At least not directly. I just want to share a few little stories with you readers and then get your opinions.
A few mornings ago, and my husband might kill me for sharing, my husband grabbed my toothbrush. Let me back up for a second. We have a large bathroom. In fact, it’s almost two bathrooms in one. I have my side and he has his. I decided to put my toothbrush at his sink. I do have a good reason for this. Anything and everything that’s on my side of the bathroom, my children destroy. My makeup, my toothbrush, my deodorant, my hair supplies, and I could go on and on. Anything on my husbands side, they don’t touch! Not even a small glance. So, I thought if I put my toothbrush on his side, it would be left alone. WRONG. Now back to the beginning. A few mornings ago after I brushed my teeth, I look over at my husband who was now brushing his teeth…with MY toothbrush. I instantly freak out asking him why he’s using my toothbrush! He spits, looks all weird and says, “it’s yours? Why is your toothbrush on my side?” I then give him the whole explanation followed by his toothbrush is green and mine is purple. If you don’t already know purple is my all time favorite color. He should know that green is a guy color and purple is girl color. Right? Plus, when he picked it up there were two to choose from.
Well, my toothbrush is back on my side. I’m sure the kids have done something to it secretly without me knowing. Oh well. I guess that’s the life of a mom.
Second story, and my dad is going to kill me for this one. :) A long time ago, over ten years ago to be exact, my dad ran out of deodorant. Now back then my mom didn’t coupon like I do today. Today, if someone were to run out of something, they could just head over to the stockpile and grab a new one. Needless to say, my dad didn’t have a backup deodorant. He looked for my moms deodorant first and failed at finding it. Then, he headed to my room. He looked around and found some deodorant sitting on my dresser. Yup, that’s what he used! That’s not even the best part. Later at dinner he was telling mom he needed new deodorant and that he had to use mine. I was a little grossed out. Then he has the nerve to say my deodorant was not that good and it had hairs all in it. I was still grossed out and then confused because I knew my deodorant didn’t have hairs in it. I asked him where he found it and said on my dresser. Then I started laughing and laughing. When I was done laughing I told him I kept my deodorant in my bathroom and the one that he used was my girlfriend’s from when she stayed the night over! Then the entire dinner table was laughing…except dad! This is just one of those stories you never forget!
Ok, now let’s have a little FUN! How do you feel about sharing toiletries? Now, after going through so much as a mom, it doesn’t bother me if a sharing accident occurs. In fact, I’m still using my same toothbrush from a few days ago.
Just leave a comment below with your sharing story or your opinion, and you could win a FUN prize! My husbands favorite deodorant is Old Spice, so I thought that would be a great giveaway considering what we are talking about. Three lucky readers will win a NEW Old Spice deodorant.

Our daughter was ‘hanging-out’ with her dad while he was shaving one morning, she tried to convince him (to the point of arguing) that he needed to shave his “armpit beards like mommy does” because he was using my razor~he ran out of replacement blades. Needless to say after shaving his face, I needed a new blade also!!
A few years ago my little brother and I would always argue. When he really got mad at me he would go to the restroom and take my toothbrush and start cleaning some part of the restroom with my toothbrush.Now he has done this three time I’m so glad that I always looked before i used. Now I’ve learned better and I keep my Toothbrush in a make up bag and take it to the restroom when its time to brush.
Too funny :) My story happened forever ago but its about sharing toiletries….not intentionaly though. My aunt told this years ago and I still laugh about it today. My cousin who was around maybe 8 at the time was putting his shoes on for school. They were a little too big and he had saw my Aunt put insoles to make her shoes fit better. So he goes into the bathroom and puts panty liners in his shoes and wears them to school all day!! Of course my Aunt didn’t discover what he had done until later that day. Can you imagine how embarrased he woulda been if other kids had saw those?!?! With my huge stockpile of free panty liners, I sure hope my 2 boys don’t do that one day!! Soooo funny!
Once ran out of shaving cream so I used my dad’s, not thinking about the remaining smell. Went around all day with people asking why they smelled guys’ shaving cream whenever I was around. *gag* Btw, Old Spice is THE best!
Somethings are not meant for sharing…your toothbrush for one. However, we have shared deodorant at my house as well as razors and bar soap. Now, if times get hard and to the point that we have to recycle toilet paper and share with each other, I think that I will have to start a stockpile of leaves from the yard. lol
