Really? What else do older teens use then? I think older teens do use hydroflasks too? Even many adults?
Yes, they do. Weird post by PP designed to take a dig at the daughter.
Why should we spare the feelings of a thief? Most kids would have left it there in case someone went back to find it. Or turned it into a lost and found. We have lost several water bottles and recovered some from lost and founds that were ours (stickers ir our name on it so we know it’s ours). Never would we just take one that wasn’t ours to stick it to the greedy rich.
The lost and found... on the street?I don't know where you live, PP, but there aren't lost and found boxes on the corner in my neighborhood. If it had been lost at school, sure. But an unlabeled water bottle in the street is the quintessential "finders keepers, losers weepers" dynamic. There's nowhere to return it to!
If you can't afford to lose it, take better care of it. Label it with your phone number if you expect to leave it behind and get it back.
Good on the kid for washing and using what someone left behind instead of calling it trash.
Oh sure. On the street. I mean if you believe that story in the first place.
So it sounds like you're okay if it was found on the street. No reason to not believe the kid. At least you finally came around.
If it was on the street likely someone else could have used it more. But no. I don't believe it was on the street why would I? And who lets their kids pick up trash in the street and drink from it? You are nasty.
So your advice is that OP tell her kid that she's a liar and rip the bottle away from her. You sound delightful.
I'll take that over letting my daughter pick up street trash and put her mouth on it. God knows where it's been.
She thoroughly washed it. Just the way glasses, forks, spoons are washed in restaurants. It's amazing how soap has worked for millennia.
Do you often eat off forks and plates found in the street after a quick wash? At least the OP can shell out and buy the kid a clean straw.
Per OP, it wasn't a quick wash.

People do go back and look for the hydroflask that they accidentally left. The mall probably has a lost and found. Your daughter should have taken it there. The fight should be over that point not the idea of using a used water bottle.

DC left a fav water bottle on a bus. I’m not even sure what the brand was or if it were popular. It was given to her a few years ago. She had decorated it with stickers, etc. Left it on the bus. We called lost and found that day but it was never turned in.
DS left some thing far more valuable in the classroom. It was a Friday and he was convinced that no one at the school would take the item. Unfortunately, it was never turned in.

Eh, deep down she will always know she’s drinking out of someone else’s cup. Gross.
You know like we do at restaurants literally all the time?
