After making his daughter clean their home with a toothbrush, one man’s wife became furious at him. He argued he was trying to teach her a lesson and wondered why his wife thought it was wrong.

A Reddit user asked others on the platform what he should do after his wife told him off for the way he decided to discipline their daughter. Users soon gave their opinions on what the man had done.

The original poster (OP) shared that his daughter and her friends had been at school and discussing different careers when they made some remarks that were reported back to the teacher.

The OP’s daughter, Brittany, and her friends had been at school talking about the different career options there were when Brittany said she would hate to be a custodian or plumber. That comment led to issues at school and within her family.

How Did the Father Humble His Daughter?
Brittany and her friends mocked the professions they said they could never do but had no idea that another student was listening to them and had reported to the teacher about the conversation.

The other student told the teacher what Brittany and her friends had said, offended because the student’s father was a plumber. The teacher asked Brittany and her friends to apologize to the other student.

Aside from requiring an apology from them, the teacher also put Brittany and her friends in detention for their mistake. However, this is not the only punishment Brittany received for this transgression.

When OP learned that his daughter had been punished at school, he felt that he should take it one step further. He didn’t want his daughter only to be punished; he wanted her to be humbled.

So when Brittany got home, he made her clean their home with a toothbrush, which he said took around five hours. He clarified that he bought her a new toothbrush when she was done.
