A Soap Scandal That Rocked a Family: Who’s Right, Who’s Wrong?
In a tale that’s more soap opera than family gathering, our protagonist found himself in a heated conflict with his cousin over a special soap and towel. The items, crucial for his daughter’s eczema treatment, were misused by his cousin’s kids in a ‘prank’ that cost more than just $105. The cousin’s refusal to pay, citing her single mother status, led to a fiery showdown that ended with the kids being sent home. The aftermath saw angry texts, threats of court action, and finally, a resolution involving apologies, payments, and a ban on the cousin and her kids from visiting our hero’s home. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this sudsy saga…

“NTA At all. Well done for showing your daughter that she is worth fighting for and that she doesn’t need to put up with disrespect and bullying. Those kids knew what they were doing and their mother was not willing to address their actions so you did what you could do to manage the situation. On another note- I suffer from eczema and on day in utter desperation because all prescribed options didn’t work, I did some Googling and tried using Borage (Starflower) since I happened to have some in my garden, and it got rid of my eczema in 2 sittings. I know it sounds crazy and hippy but it worked. If you can find a borage plant, take some leaves and flowers put them in a bowl and add hot water. Essentially you are making tea with borage. Then, rather than drinking that tea, soak a cloth or paper towel in the water (I let the water cool to about room temperature) then put it directly on the skin with eczema. I left it on for about 10 minutes and immediately noticed a reduction in the redness and swelling. I did it again the next day and it disappeared. I haven’t had eczema since (not claiming that the borage cured it as I have not done any kind of research or studies but it definitely helped me). I am not peddling anything, you cannot buy a specific borage eczema treatment (that I am aware of) but as someone who has suffered with eczema all my life, I want to spread the word about it. Plus, borage as far as my personal knowledge goes is safe to ingest and put on skin. If you do try it, maybe try a small patch first in case of allergies. I generally don’t advise listening to medical advice from strangers on the internet but I also didn’t want to let this one go since it sounds like OPs daughter has very bad eczema and I know how uncomfortable it can be and mine was not nearly as bad.” – A helpful tip for eczema sufferers!
