Current Events > Moms showing off their kids' dirty masks (CW: a bit gross)

(+) Yeah! (+)

So apparently the new "my kids don't need a mask" argument around a small number of suburban white mothers is that kids get the insides of them absolutely filthy.

Evidence of a serious problem? Or evidence of some dirty-ass families telling on themselves and humiliating their kids?

---

There's no way those are after 1 day.

PS: Tell your kid to wipe their mouths after eating before they put the mask back on

---

Kids suck

---

My kids masks never look like that. Like how do you even get it that dirty? Are they sucking on the inside of it all day?

Thats more than a bit gross, though if parents arent really taking it seriously I dont doubt kids would exaggerate those attitudes even going as far as to lining the shit up with dirt just to dunk on the idea of germs

Kids are that dumb so Im not surprised

They tend to be as dumb as the people who raised them honestly

Theres absolutely no way thats from one day unless these kids are disgusting anyway

---

I saw this earlier and said it's like the pics of underwear stains from a yeast infection. Then I remembered vaginal thrush, and in turn oral thrush.

So uh. Gross as it is, that may just be the problem.

---

Yes. Kids are absolutely disgusting. Which is why sending them back to school right now is a terrible idea. She thinks shes making a point for no more masks!shes actually proving why reopening schools is irresponsible right now.

---

That family is a freakshow of bad takes, by the way

---

So they want the kids to be spraying that shit all over everyone?

---

Are they throwing up in their masks or something?

---

Should kids not wear undergarments because they can get dookie stains? What kind of logic is this?
---

Why not sent your kid to school with more than one mask? It's not rocket science.

---

1. Send your kids to school with multiple disposable masks, and tell them to change them every two hours.
2. Do not give your kids cloth masks, even if they're the ones with the changeable filters.
3. If you do give your kid a cloth mask, buy six of them, and send them to school with three of them, so they can change them every two hours. Then wash them that night.

The fact that this needs to be explained after nearly two years is mind boggling.

Nah they be lying. Ive even reused a mask a few times when i didnt have new ones on me. And they still didnt look anything like that.

There's also that.

Unless your kid is a complete slob, the mask should not look like that after a day at school.

Interesting that it was needed to be pointed out that its white mothers

This just makes me support wearing masks even more. Ain't nobody wanna breathe in that dirty shit coming out of her mouth.

I've never had my masks go that dirty.

This is what we do and have never had a problem. Granted we make sure our kids practice proper hygiene everyday as well.

---

How in fucks name do their masks even get THAT disgusting?

Teach your kids to be clean ffs.

---

I have been wearing mask all day for a while and I normally week them for a week or more. And none of them ever look like that. These people are lying so their kids will die. Fuck them.

---

the one time one of my masks got dirty i had just ate a hershey sundae pie from burger king and didn't wipe my mouth or make sure i had nothing on it so i kinda have a permanent chocolate stain unless i put a little more effort into getting it out lol. It's so light and unnoticeable that you wouldn't think twice about it unless you were staring at the inside of the mask. I also don't change masks like underwear so they're getting used multiple times.

So yeha I have no clue how these kids get so dirty

---

This has been a weird conservative narrative for a while.

"But kids will trade masks!!"

---

well maybe if those kids werent such pigs, their masks wouldnt get all dirty like that. -_-

fucking Karens i swear...

That is actually an argument FOR masks.

If your kid is that gross beyond their toddler years then they are probably a Super Spreader of disease even outside pandemics.

Your little goblin probably causes half the fucking cold and flu outbreaks at his school.

Well, that too.

Maybe try to teach your kids not to be complete slobs.

---

It's cause their kids are fucking gross. The mask can't fix that, it just tells the story.

The irony of complaining about snot and shit getting trapped on the inside of the masks as an argument against wearing masks is not lost on me.

---

ummmm ur supposed to wear them over your mouth, not ur asshole

---

"Kids are idiots and do stupid things!" says the parent whose only metric for reference is their own children.

---

Wow some people really do need to wear face diapers

We all wear masks, so we all know this is untrue. After a week or so, sure. Maybe. Not one day. Not unless you don't know how to wipe your mouth after eating.

Is still better odds at preventing and spreading infection than zero masks on a large scale.
---

Topic reminded me of this.

Find this hard to believe, I... would sometimes go way too long without washing my mask. >_> I was probably letting some bacteria live in there, but it was never visibly dirty.
