Mum demands teen daughter replaces 'expensive' shampoo with her birthday money

A mum has sparked a huge debate after forcing her teenage daughter to pay for shampoo and conditioner with her birthday money. Sharing her rage online, the mum is demanding that her 15-year-old coughs up the payment after she used her 'expensive' £30 products without permission.

The woman took her parenting concept to popular forum Mumsnet to seek advice on what people thought of her idea. However, the woman has raked in hundreds of mixed decisions on her brutal request.

She explained: "My hair has been really damaged due to colouring. I brought some expensive shampoo and conditioner to help out, I have only used it once."

The woman went on: "I explained to my teen it's for my hair and it's expensive. She has long curly hair and I'm always buying things for her hair.

"Today I went to get in the shower and saw both bottles of my shampoo and conditioner lying down with the lids off and it literally going down the drain.

"I feel really annoyed! It's not just the fact she has used it without asking but the fact she hasn't had enough respect to even look after it!

"Half the bottle has gone now. She recently had her birthday and has money.

Seeking advice, she questioned: "Am I unreasonable to say she needs to replace them with her money?"

Several people were left torn over whether the mum was being unfair or not.

Taking to the comment section, one person questioned: "What's wrong with a good old fashioned b*****ing topped off with an 'I'm not angry just very disappointed' cherry on top? We were all dumb teenagers once!"

"I'd do a b****king with how very disappointing I found it after I asked her not to use it," a second agreed.

On the other hand, someone else wrote: "No I'd be telling her she needs to replace it definitely."
