Was He Wrong for Threatening To Out His Son To His Friends For Not Using a Bidet?

A concerned Reddit user took to the subthread, “Am I The Asshole” (AITA) to share his story.

It is how his teenage son cannot do a good job of cleaning up properly after using the toilet and asked if his attempt to get his son to have better toilet hygiene made him an a**hole.

The original poster (OP) started by bemoaning how his 14-year-old son could not wipe properly after using the toilet.
