Tell me my teens aren't the only ones lol

Asked mine this evening to get his karate gi and put it in the washing machine. He managed this but didn't take it off the coat hanger 🙄just so he wouldn't have to hang it up again when it came out 🤦‍♀️

My DD 18 was doing the laundry with only fabric softener when queried about whether she had put wash powder in the drum she looked confused. Turns out she'd just been adding fabric softener in the drawer and turning it on. My fault apparently for not explaining about detergent.

My dd thought she was being helpful by putting a load of washing on the line that was in the washing machine. Only trouble, it hadn't been washed......🤣

When I was at uni

1. Student set fire to the microwave for putting a tin of ravioli in to heat up
2. Student evacuated a 14 floor tower block- for cooking his sausages (polystyrene tray and all) under the grill and fell asleep
3. Student I lived with wondered why his frozen pizza smelled- he cooked it in the cardboard box, in the clingfilm....
4. Student became ill- didn't realise raw chicken needed cooking

My teen is blind (with a little bit of functional sight). Her specialist glasses are her lifeline to the world. So far this year (and we are only in February), she has broken three frames, because she takes them off and puts them right next to her bed, where she exits said bed every morning. She forgets and stands on them.

My 18 year old son doesn’t have an ounce of common sense.
One morning I came down to find the front door left wide open. He hadn’t shut it after coming home late. I honestly thought we had been burgled.

Last week he tried to use the steam oven to microwave his meal. He couldn’t understand why it was cold but ate it anyway. He has never noticed the microwave in the corner of the kitchen despite it being there for a year.

My son wanted to know what fire smelled like.
Ended up with a blister on his nose.

My 19 year old son needed his black socks washing for football. He managed to completely ignore all the other black items of washing right in front of the machine and put a full wash on for one pair of socks.

He apparently 'didn't realise they needed washing' when I pointed out the pile of washing he had moved out of the way to the open the door. Maybe he thinks that's just where I store stuff now...

One of mine put milk IN the kettle to make hot chocolate? The house smelled of burnt milk for days 😡

Also left their key on the outside of the back door one or ten times.

Also also I've just cleaned the toaster and the crumb collecting things were very full of butter so I suspect one of them has been putting already buttered bread in there so @Srepmum1984 you are not alone!

My teens have zero problem solving skills.

I called my daughter last week to ask her to pop my casserole dish in the oven to preheat.

Phone call 15 seconds later: ~with hints of indignation~ "it doesn't fit in the oven!". Now, it very much DOES fit in the oven. I try to explain to her that it does, Definitely. 100%. Well, you'd think I was telling her the sky was pink with how determined she was that I'm wrong and there's NO WAY it could possibly fit.

I get home and she hasn't thought to try adjusting one of the racks in the oven, to make room for the lid of the dish. "How am I supposed to know?!"
Oh, I dunno, how about putting an iota of thought into it before phoning me enraged for setting such an impossible challenge?

When I finish ironing I call out from the kitchen "the iron's hot, don't lick it!" Which is tongue in cheek... but also sorta not 😅

My daughter put a bowl of cold food in the microwave but left the fork in it. It tripped the electrics but then threw a cup of water over the microwave because she thought it would blow up
