**Dad's Controversial Holiday Rule for Kids to Prevent Mess Divides Opinions**
A father has ignited a debate after revealing his stringent rules for his children during holidays, aimed at maintaining cleanliness.
We all know the joy of stepping into a pristine hotel room or rented accommodation and feeling an immediate sense of relaxation. However, for those who are naturally messy or have children, this immaculate state can quickly deteriorate. One man, who takes great pride in cleanliness, insists on keeping his holiday accommodations spotless.
To maintain order and avoid unnecessary mess, the dad, who prefers to remain anonymous, has implemented a strict no-messy-food policy for his children in the hotel room. He explained, "I firmly believe in keeping our hotel room clean during vacations and not creating extra work for the housekeeping staff."
Interestingly, he added, "I don't care as much about messes at my house."
This approach has sparked mixed reactions, with some applauding his efforts to respect hotel staff, while others feel it might be too harsh on the kids.

I'm a Marriage Counsellor — There's One Clear Sign a Couple Will Break Up
A counsellor has shared the clear sign a couple will end in divorce somewhere down the line. When answering 'What screams 'we are not going to last long' for couples?' on a Reddit thread, a user shared the comment a counsellor shared with them.
They said: "I was at a party one time and there was a marriage counsellor there that had been working for 20-something years in couples counselling. I asked her what the number one sign was that the couple wasn't going to make it. Without hesitating, she said, 'If one person shows contempt for the other's feelings, it's over!'."
When speaking to a sex and relationship researcher, Kristen Mark described contempt in a relationship as when you disregard your partner's feelings and treat them as someone who is not worthy of consideration. She added: "Mocking your partner, speaking to them with condescension, or using sarcasm for cruelty are all examples of contempt."

Adding to this, another user said: "This is a really well-documented one. Contempt is a dead giveaway. The moment you start 'sneering' or using incredulous sarcasm, you should consider it to be a red alert. My wife and I are doing fine these days, but a few of our worst fights have contained contempt.
"Fortunately, because we'd heard this guidance before, we realized we were in very dangerous territory and needed to take a really hard look at the root causes of what was p***ing us off at each other. Anger can be a natural reaction, as long as it doesn't come with abuse. Contempt, however, is like black mould."
Sharing their own "red flags" in a relationship, one user claims couples who share "too many" photos or updates about each other on social media could be doing it for "outside validation rather than inside happiness".
They said: "When they post each other too much. I get the occasional picture together but when you full-on document every little thing it just comes across as wanting to prove your relationship to other people because you’re insecure."
Another user weighed in: "Talking on the phone/ FaceTime/ texting 24/7. Fastest way to codependency. When one of the partners can't pay attention to their phone, the other gets sour. I've seen it a billion times."
