Do you know why people in the age range 12-16 are incapable of tidying up their own mess?

Please tell us this!!!!!

PistachioTiramisuLimoncello · 11/08/2025 23:10

Why do you answer my very chatty texts with a simple “k” ?

Why are you collecting plates, cups, bowls in your room?

Why are you obsessed with having sleepovers and staying up
ALL night?

Why if I ask you to do anything is it always “in a minute “???

hmmmmm????

This thread made me laugh. I need that (just don't ask 🙈😂). So thank you. It's been 9 years since I had a 14 year old living with me. 13 years since it was a 14 year old girl...but it all came flooding back 😂

I know, right?! Me too! Much needed… ( happy your day improved on reading too… and stays improved!)

I’ve got 16 and 18 year old boys… absolutely bang on…. ! 😹 I need to check it’s not my youngest….😈🤷‍♀️…….

Don't be daft. It's (very obviously) a parody thread written by a MNer exasperated by her know-all teen.

Or my DS2… because I dared to pick up his filthy ass socks and pants off his floor earlier to wash…. he took his headphones off, turned round from his game, told his friends “be right back! It’s my mmummmmmmm”…. And yelled at me for touching his stuff! So, they are currently back on his floor, in roughly the same position, where they will stay. Until probably one of the dogs takes them into the garden to bury…….

Ha! I have read through your posts & my daughter was much smarter than you (&me) at 14. She 50 now & has spent years telling me all the things she did that I didn't know about. You are Obvious so your mother is blessed.

You’d get on well with my son who is 15 and is apparently also an expert on everything 🙄

You win MN. In fact, you win the internet

Fuelledbylatte · 12/08/2025 09:18

You know that thing you were asked to do before bed, did you do it?

CautiousLurker01 · 12/08/2025 09:26

BadTitan · 11/08/2025 18:47

Why do you refuse to acknowledge my presence in the house at all, UNLESS I have to start work in one minute, in which case you tell me all about your friends, your relationships, your thoughts on society, your take on AI, but then and only then.

Or just when I am going to bed having sat up past midnight to transfer the washing (that you presented at 10pm and desperately need tomorrow) into the tumble dryer. And if I say ‘I’m really rather tired now’, you flounce off because I clearly don’t care/love you etc…

3within3 · 12/08/2025 09:54

Why do you insist you need a lovely new dressing table, Hollywood mirror, the obligatory Lack shelf, hanging plants, LED lights because it’s what you need for “your aesthetic” but then don’t notice or care when it all gets covered in sweet wrappers, fake tan and chewed pen lids?

Then when you dare to ask again two days later, you get “OH MY GOD I wiiiiillllllllll!! Stop going on about it!!! You’re always NAGGING!!”

Why do teenagers age 14-17 make it their main priority in life to upset their parents and making them an anxious mess worrying about their antics?

Oh god so I'll still be suffering from the trauma years later ? 🙄

I'm still suffering from the trauma of the terrible twos 26 years on, so it's highly likely. I think it's why gin was invented 😂

TheNightingalesStarling · 10/08/2025 13:52

Ate there any dirty cups in your room?

My mother used to withhold a percentage of my pocket money according to the numbers of mugs & apple cores in my room. I now habitually eat the apple core.

GarlicLitre · 13/08/2025 05:48

Christ, there's always someone who thinks any well-written post is done by AI. Maybe sort your own illiteracy out, then you'll be able to write good stuff too!

@Daboomboom I have SO enjoyed your thread! Thanks for sharing your all-pervasive insight, maturity and brilliance 😆

It's been over 30 years since I had a 14-year-old teen DD and over 20 since there was a 14-year-old teen boy roaming the house.

I am still traumatized, yet I am dying laughing at this thread. It's like déjà vu all over again. I'm even using their voices and imagining my DD's teen eye roll (that is STILL going strong in her 40's).

Nah bruh. Washing up just ain't for me. So what I do is wave the dish about under the tap to get water everywhere but not actually clean the dish, then I throw it on the drainer. Obviously mum has left other stuff on there so when I knock that I need to give a big dramatic sigh and then sulk off to listen to my headset.
Done.

Weaponised incompetence at such a young age, you are accomplished!

MrsMoastyToasty · 17/08/2025 09:55

@Daboomboom Are you awake yet?

scalt · 17/08/2025 09:59

Are people your age angry about lockdown? (Because you should be, for a whole host of reasons!)

Haha, yes!! Why is it always midnight when they want to engage in deep, meaningful conversations?

MrsSkylerWhite · 17/08/2025 10:06

Why do you throw the spoon away with the yoghurt pot?

Fruitsherbert · 17/08/2025 10:35

Why don't you recycle? You're meant to give more of a shit about this stuff, so why do i keep finding recyclables in the bin?

Wooky073 · 17/08/2025 12:38

Why does my teenage child not close the drawers after removing clothing from them? It takes like 1 second in time and only a small finger push of effort (ikea drawers that just roll closed)? Riddle me that !!
