Odd inflatable object

And yes... I know. But I found these in the bottom of a pile of junk that's been basically untouched since I graduated college (way too long ago to still be dealing with the mess but my hoarding problem is a different issue.) The obvious answer is out because I've never owned anything like that in my life. It has to be mine but I have no memory of these things and I'm stumped.

My Kid Won't Use the Last of Anything

Found this pic from a few years ago. I rarely use Cream Cheese, but my son does frequently. Found this when I had a craving for a bagel one day.

Apparently, he doesn't enjoy cleaning up containers for recycling.

EDIT FOR CLARIFICATION

Damn, sooo many shitty assumptions! Many of you folks are so remarkably adept at reading between the two lines I wrote! But seriously: you know what they say about assuming, don't you? They say, "Don't do it. Assuming, that is. Don't do it."

Firstly, the kid in question in 26 now and works IT for the local school district. He's working on his second game release for PS5/Switch/Steam. His 24 year-old sister is starting her third year as a Kindergarten teacher in a few weeks. They're both better people than I am and I regret nothing that I've done for them. I'm incredibly proud of my children and continue to have great relationships with them.

On to more specifics:

  1. I conversationally said, "a few years ago", but it was actually 14 years ago. He was twelve when this happened. Show me a 12-year-old that isn't at least an occasional dumbass and I'll show you some lying parents.
  2. This was not a "frequent occurrence" that we simply "allowed to happen". This happened once. We had a talk. It didn't happen again. It was so unusual, in fact that I took a picture of it! We shared it with family under a common tag of "Here's my honor student!" and had a laugh.
  3. We bought (and still do buy) much our of packaged food from a local wholesale club. At the time, this came in packages of four units. We did (and still do) clean our fridge regularly.
  4. For those people suggesting that mental health issues are "parental issues" or that you be simply "be strict" to eliminate Obsessive-Compulsive behavior, to be blunt: screw you. My kids do not have these problems, but most of my family work with mentally challenged children and this kind of neanderthal thinking view hurts children terribly.

I'll end with the last lines of Tim Michin's "Storm":

And if perchance I have offended
Think but this and all is mended
We'd as well be 10 minutes back in time for all the chance you'll change your mind.

Family court: Can the parties agree to add something to the court order that one of them wouldn't get if they asked the judge for it?

I read online that in some adoption cases, the court has the ability to add visitation for immediate biological relatives to the final order, but it's really difficult to get that and definitely requires a firmly established relationship with the child.

If the relative didn't have an established relationship, but the adoptive family said they wanted a visitation clause for the relative in the final order, and there was no other reason (criminal record, etc.) that the relative wouldn't be allowed near the child, would the court allow it?
