And it is strong stuff, people. Jeff has pretty much relinquished all household-related brand choices to me. I shop, I cook, I feed bubba. He uses the soap and shampoo that I pick. Laundry detergent? Dish soap? No problem. But will he use my toothpaste (Crest)? No way. Somehow, he finds time for his own little secret toothpaste shopping trips (Colgate, that too-creamy too-minty second rate product, whatever). I know him, and I keep thinking that one day he will succumb to convenience and start using my Crest. But he won't. And likewise, I have adopted several of his brand loyalties. Salad dressing. Pan scrubbers. Flexible, that's my middle name. But will I switch to Colgate? No way, man.
Poor bubba. So far we (and by we, I mean I) have chosen a third option for him.
But I'm afraid one day he might want to try the grownup toothpaste. It will be a fork in the road for him, for sure. And what is life growing up with a house full of different toothpastes? It is bleak indeed.

Choices! Many right choices, and he is free to choose the one that suites him best. It will be good practice for college. (Yes a long way off, I know.) But its kinda like choosing a major in college where there is no wrong answer, just follow your heart (or teeth).
My mother-in-law puts Colgate in a stocking for us every year. For a long time, I simply ignored these offerings and went blithely on my way purchasing Arm & Hammer sensitivity protection with baking soda. Then I decided I'd better save my pennies and work my way through the Christmas-stocking backlog. But it just doesn't seem right to me. (I'm willing to cheat on Crest for the sake of fancy extra-protection toothpaste, but Colgate means going over to the other side.)
Our kids use the Tom's of Maine toothpaste, too. I've never had a paste preference, though. Except one time I bought orange vanilla crest and the P-Dawg put his foot down on that one. I kind of like it.
Ooops! I didn't realize the P-Dawg was STILL LOGGED in under his account! That last comment was from me, not my husband :)
This is so funny. We have the same heels, dug in. Each of my three children, alas, prefer a different stupid brand of toothpaste! I use any old thing but once those delicate lips tasted one taste of bumble gum crest or super mint colgate or whatever it is on the shelf, they were hooked. But because I can't care, I have to write the name down every time I go to the store. Argh.
Hey, I haven't been here in awhile and very much enjoyed my visit! Great writing!
I make the brand choices in our family as well - but, like in your house, the toothpaste is a choice that my family is very particular about. My kids and my husband definitely tell me the toothpaste the would prefer and I do buy what they want. That's strange - I never thought about this before.
Have a great Sunday and thanks for coming by to see me. See you soon. Kellan
Ha ha! That is very true! I buy whatever toothpaste is on sale - but there are other products that I will only buy one brand of. Fortunately, my husband was raised by his parents to not complain about anything. - accept what is put in front of you - so he never says anything! He could be thinking tons of stuff - but it never comes out! hee hee
(and my kids use Tom's - because they don't like "hot" toothpaste)
Yes. We are a Pepsi/Coke household. Pepsi in my camp, Coke in Mr. Farklepants...and never the two shall meet.
It appears that my marriage has escaped this conundrum, probably because both of us lived with our parents too long and never learned our own brand preferences.
Try the Tom's of Maine Fennel toothpaste and you'll never look back for either Crest or Colgate.
That's pretty funny. I am flexible with most things, but toothpaste, dish detergent, soap and laundry softeners are non-negotiable. If hubby wants to use something different, then he gets his own tube/jar/container! Retrospectively...all the brands I insist on are ones that my mother used. Hmmm....
Hee, hee! We're going on 13 years of a Crest vs. Colgate standoff too : )
Amiable dispatch and this post helped me alot in my college assignement. Thank you on your information.
Brim over I to but I think the collection should have more info then it has.

The gyroscope is unified such toy with this purpose.
The gyroscope I bought from DealtoWorld.com has a dragon as a intent plot on it, and produces a gegenschein accompany with red, obscene, and common colours.

The music produced from the gyroscope is not that enormous but facts plenty to consider any supplementary roomer to the house.

The music light make clear gyroscope runs on 6 LR44 batteries, which are replaceable anyway. I've also acclimatized this gyroscope to eye-opener my girlfriend during our anniversary celebration. I did the cheesy thing of decorating the pension elbow-room with roses and when I led her in, I started up the gyroscope as rise so that the laser light register produces a romantic effect. I also had some battery operated candles so all the understanding effects created a rather dreamt-up atmosphere. She loved it, past the style, to my relief. I also bought the candles from DealtoWorld.com. These days it seems to be my oversight shopping locality suitable all gifts and ideas for romantic occasions.
Since Christmas is coming, this laser light upstage gyroscope can dialect mayhap be a momentous Christmas gift for the toddler or neutral the mollycoddle! Alternatively, the gyroscope can altogether be a kindly summation to the ordinary Christmas decorations. I can take it as given placing it near the Christmas tree and maybe spinning it when guests reach in the house.
