This is really annoying me.

We live in a pretty large house but his deep voice is really booming. He's getting annoyed with the game / showing off to his online mates.

I give him a couple of warnings and then turn the Internet off.

Just having a moan really. Going to be a long summer. Hmm

I hear you. DS1 (14) is forever yelling down the mike and showing off to his mates online. Summer with the windows open and the neighbours in the garden. Hmm

I often go into his room unannounced when I hear the yelling and tell him I love him/ask if he has any dirty underpants for washing etc IN A V LOUD VOICE. Grin

It's the teenage boy's way of fluffing up his feathers and strutting.
I have become immune to it.

Ha, ha, DS does this all the time! And both he and DH shout at the TV when they are watching sport. Especially footy. It's going to be a long monthGrin

Think you're a bit mean for turning the internet off!

My son the same. And the same with the football. Finished school now so I expect he will be watching the football live and waking me up

DH is terrible for shouting at the tv. It makes me jump.

I can have three if them doing it at anyone time depending on who is living in the house but the main culprit is my 41 year old husband. He shouts the loudest and get really angry when playing a game.. Just get used to it cause they won't stop

Yes, my three boys are the same.

We always know when DS1 is home because the volume goes up in the house, especially when he's gaming.

And don't get me started on DS3 playing League of Legends... He gets so cross it makes me want to cancel the broadband.

I do what Sparkling does & ask them embarrassing questions when they are talking to their friends down the mic. Or, even worse, I start chatting to their friends myself Grin

Not only do I have two 21 year olds in the house but my 41 year old hubby joins in (his langugage is worse than the boys). I feel your pain
