Obviously I did it just to spite my 15yr old

As a teacher of teenagers obviously I ruin their lives on a daily basis, but I’ll never forget one theatre trip we took y9s on. The cool-but-naughty girl was of course sat next to us teachers so we could keep her in check, and just before the play started I offered the teacher next to me a piece of chocolate. “Ooh, lovely”, she said as she took a few squares, and the look of UTTER contempt and hatred the girl shot us has never left me. The complete rage she clearly felt at overhearing that friendly interaction is mind-boggling. To go through your life like that just be so exhausting.

We once suggested that as there weren't enough clean knives to lay the table perhaps DS could get some dirty ones out of the dishwasher and wash them. Either that or summon the knife fairy.

One of the clean knives bounced off the table when it was eventually 'laid'.

She’s food restricting and is worryingly underweight Dh and I are kindly but firmly insisting she eats - like the bastards we are.

It's too late now but my dd wanted to be a trust fund baby, how dare I not be a celebrity or marry a finance bro to ensure she didn't have to work as an adult.

i know. So terrible. Really need to up my game! I do love the tone of surprise (
followed by an argument!) I get when I ask him to shower - like it hasn’t been a daily occurrence for as long as he can remember. 🤣

I said hello to my daughter's friend, thereby totally humiliating my daughter.

Right, I have taken note of each and every post and will be reporting you all to Children's Services... the teens will all be taken into Care. No stop, you don't need to thank me, oh well, if you insist.

I suffered too, my mother used to feed and clothe me, laundered and ironed all my clothes and then bought me my first season ticket for work (£45 for a month). Sheer neglect, I tell you, and no one has paid for any therapy, yet.

I was "so nasty and always mean and horrible" to my 11 year old this morning. I could not change the laws of physics to make a pan cool enough to wash within two seconds of taking it off the hob.

DS tore DH a new on for daring to offer some advice.

"You just don't want me to make the same mistakes you did!!!"

Which was true, evil bastard DH!

I wore flip flops for parents evening when he was 13.
He nows married and lives in flip flops.

I’ve ruined my DD13s life by having the audacity to wash & dry all her clothes so now she actually had to find somewhere to put them (ie in her drawers, in not one but two of her bedrooms!)

Thank you - they had a good time at the cinema.

i am unreasonable though because I made DD use her pocket money to buy a huge tub of popcorn and a drink.

This is the money DH and I work for and give to her weekly! Everyone else's Mum would have spent £50 buying popcorn and a drink for all of her friend's too without questioning it and being so embarrassingly mean!

Everyday, telling them to take their piles of dishes from their rooms and place in the dishwasher after scraping off the food.
By not letting them snack all day instead of eating actual meals,
Not allowing them to sit around and making them take the dogs for walks
Sniffing hair to ensure it's actually washed (teen son, teen dd is very into smelling nice)
The latest annoying thing is questioning them both on what revision they have done, which past papers, etc. because I don't understand how exams are these days apparently since I am centuries old obviously

I refused to let her use her hair straighteners - because she had just completely flooded the kitchen by forgetting the bath water and water was dripping through the light fittings - she could not believe I wouldn't wait to turn off the electric and dry stuff out until she was fully ready.

I recently saw a bright yellow Kia picanto zipping around town and my heart desired one for myself with a sincere and true desire.

I'm off to see if i can find one online and what I might be able to do as a tradein just for interests sake....

Dp has ruined my life by buying a green car
Not just green,but the foulest shade of green ever known to man
He's very lucky I allow him to drive me to work and the shop
He talks to me while I have my hood over my head so nobody I know can see me
To make it worse,aaallllll my work colleagues and compete strangers have admired it and say its cool
I'm 47 next month

I ruined my sd's life once
We where in superdrug and I was buying her some make up (eye watering expensive make up) and I dared to pull out both my loyalty card AND bank card when I paid
Cue huge tantrum

My own dd was horrified when I said the word 'vagina'
She walked out of the house in horror

Ds once threw a paddy because his boxers where in the wash
The threadbare ones he gave me and I put straight into the machine and pressed 'start'
He had about 30 other pairs of other boxers but none where the pair that where going round the drum

I also bought a yellow car. DS2 is an adult but with autism/LDs and he finds my gorgeous bright yellow car MORTIFYING

Not my first bra mind you, but I'd always bought them in the teen section of Etam prior to that and they wanted to get me good expensive ones.

You ogre! Do you realise that nobody else in his entire class was forced to perform these unreasonable tasks? NOBODY! And they all get £200 a month pocket money and have McDonalds every night.

(He’ll laugh about it when he’s older, I promise!)

My mum and grandma ruined my life at 16 by vindictively taking me shopping to buy me bras. God, I stomped around that high street in an absolute rage.

I hope you are planning on jacking your current job in tomorrow and switching careers immediately to one in corporate finance. It's the only reasonable thing to do.

I didn’t get the right wraps for lunch - which i obviously did on purpose as white wraps taste so disgusting 🙄

Nothing at all do with the the shop not having wholemeal so it was white or nothing

I did notice they have been eaten this morning so can’t have been that disgusting 🤷‍♀️

Ruined the whole weekend because of that…

Gotta love a teen

I made her lunch and expected to sit opposite her while eating.

I don't know if you meant to write "fiends" but it made my day and made me laugh way too loud! I hope your DD and her fiends have a great time at the cinema.
