It's stereotypical and lazy.

I don't think the teenager picture is that bad. He's a nice looking kid, clean and in nice surroundings.

Oh and mine fight and argue in the house.

Outside of the house, if anyone was to insult the other one or whatever, they would leap in to defend them. Even though 10 minutes ago they hated each other.

I am so glad I am not the only person who fears they may actually be eaten themselves if the food runs out.

I have never in my life known anyone that can eat like my ds1. How can you eat an enormous dinner, and 34 minutes later (yes I timed it) be eating cereal??

And he is a skinny as a bloody rake. He is trying to put weight on
The amount of food we go through is beyond belief.

Tbh laying on the sofa is a pretty accurate representation of ds1 when he is at home. Laying on the sofa with iPod on twitter.

Mine argue and fight over everything. Clothes, make up, hair straighteners, hair curlers. The latter two are often used as weapons.
Outside of the house, they are polite and well mannered.

Stealth boast!
I think the logo needs to change, no one wears boot cut trousers anymore do they?

I didnt say it was surprising.

I was just saying that I associate the picture with good loving kids and not negatively. And that teens may often look or act a certain way but they are generally lovely, loving people. And that imo, a teen slobbing out on the sofa with some pizza isnt a negative looking image.

Sparklingbrook · 24/01/2014 07:11

I couldn't believe he is still only 19 DrNick, how can that be? Shock

DS1 is only 14 so is a bit grunty. Sad

absolutely agree with drnick. Have one teen left at home...is fine,pleasant and good company, not grunting either. I think I probably grunt more than him.:)

How about this ?

But why is that surprising? They are your kids.

I dont see that picture as vilification. It looks sweet and funny to me.

but I dont see hoodies as hiding the face of a demon.

my eldest lives in his and he is a darling!

they are both slobby buggers, they argue with each other, theyre obsessed with their consoles, they are permenantly starving... and they are good, kind, sweet, boys .

In fact, last night my eldest threw himself at me and flung his arms round me for no reason at all and just hugged me for ages.

Ds1 and Ds2 fight like cat and dog over everything.

I'd put a pic of someone doing sport or hanging out. They like to hang out don't they.

Wrt food. Three meals this week I've undercooked. Seems there are 5 adults now. 12 chicken thighs not enough. 24 meatballs not enough. Wtf

Don't have teen girls (thankfully) as I believe they mainly look like this.
