A self-described “poor AF” single dad shared a budget-friendly dinner for his kids, but virtually all the comments were about his oven.
He explained that he had to come up with dinner for his children and himself on a “tight budget” and documented the process in a video on your TikTok page.

So he decided to use a can of Fray Bentos chicken meatballs with tomato sauce.
He poured the pan into a frying pan, using a fork to remove the remaining meatballs.
He then added a generous portion of salt, before crushing some baguettes and adding them as well.
Once he was done, he placed the dish on the plates and placed some plain breadsticks on the side.
“Dinner for 3 like a poor AF single dad,” he wrote at the top of his video.
But the comments section was immediately filled with people commenting on the state of the oven and stove rather than the meal itself.
“It doesn’t hurt to clean up a bit,” wrote one.
“Damp cloth is all that is needed,” added another.
“If money is tight, there is no excuse.”
“A pack of Asda sponges was literally 40p,” pointed out a third.
‘If you can buy a £1 tin of meatballs, you can buy a 40p pack of sponges!’
“It is still possible to get cheap cloths! 70p for 20 sponges… £1 for washcloths, no excuse,” another person agreed.
“Hygiene and cleaning are not expensive,” said another.
“Elbow grease costs nothing,” said someone else.
As another argued, “If he can buy a phone and credit to stream this video, he can clean up.”
“Tight budget or not, you can still clean,” said someone else.
“It doesn’t hurt to clean it up, it’s a wonder you didn’t poison yourself,” wrote another.
“How tight is this budget, please?” someone asked.
Dirtiest items in your home that you’re probably forgetting to clean
Research shows that people are exposed to an average of 60,000 types of germs daily.
Astonish cleaning expert and product development scientist Olivia Young reveals the dirtiest items in your home and how to clean them.
Sponges or kitchen towels
Some of the items we use to clean surfaces are actually the dirtiest. From cleaning countertops to cleaning dishes, kitchen or laundry sponges are used multiple times a day. And when it does, it often becomes damp and warm, which means that if it’s not cleaned properly, it can be a prime place for bacteria to grow.
As a general rule, if you’ve been using your sponge for about two weeks, it’s time to replace it.
Shoe
Shoes are without a doubt an item in your home full of bacteria. One study suggested that a single shoe sole contains an average of 421,000 units of bacteria, but there’s no need to panic.
Most of these germs that accumulate on shoes will not come into contact with other areas of your home as long as you take them off when you enter or place them in a box in the closet.
Pet bowls and toys
In fact, pet bowls have been found to be the third most contaminated item in homes, which means they are a breeding ground for germs and bacteria that can make you and your pet feel unwell.
Wash them with warm soapy water after each use to keep bacteria at bay. For toys, if they are made of plastic, you can dip them in warm water with disinfectant or soap; Soft toys can be washed well in the washing machine on a gentle cycle.
Toothbrush holder
Your toothbrush holder probably isn’t something you consider dirty—but there are more germs in the container that holds your toothbrush than there are on your sink faucets.
Clean your toothbrush holder at least once or twice a week.
To which another responded: “Be kind, honestly, you don’t know how much this poor guy must be struggling.”
“Very well, few people do as well as you as a single parent,” said someone else.
As another wrote: “I understand he may be struggling, but it doesn’t hurt to clean up.”
