Bet I'm a worse mum than you! 😂

[Glastonbury2020]

I was having lunch in the garden with a friend when DD 15 asked if she could have a lift to somewhere 15 miles away to meet some friends.
Me-no, I'm having lunch
DD- but everyone is going
Me- can you get a lift?
DD- no one has room
Me- I'm having lunch with my friend
DD- God, why did I even bother asking. I knew you'd say no..
Me-More like I always say yes, and for once I'm saying no

She has stomped upstairs in a sulk. Am I a mean mum to think it's quite funny? Does it make me the worst mum ever? Am I bothered?

You are officially THE WORST MOTHER EVERRRR

How dare you exist on the same planet as her breathing the same air ...until she next wants something

I cannot believe you didn’t immediately drop your friend and rush to the aid of your DD! You should also have made sure you had an extra person on hand whilst you were driving to play with her hair and tell her how incredible she is. You should probably have offered her the entire content of your bank account too and had a song dedicated to her as an apology for not anticipating her every need.

SHAME!!!!

Oh the horror. Just awful. You clearly dont love her at all 😉

Ps my favourite comeback when teen DD says “everyone is going!” is to point out that that’s a lie coz she’s not going

Don't you know you're supposed to make your children feel like they're the center of the universe at all times?

You monster.

Can you divorce dps in UK? Bet she is Googling..

The burrrrrrrn!

When I did the ‘everyone is going!’ My mum would just look disinterested and say ‘really that nice’ in a tone that made it obvious she wasn’t listening to my foolishness.

Oh my God! You don't even understand anything! She didn't ask to be born!

You're killing me!
(DD still sulking!)

My mum used to shout and don’t forget to slam your bedroom door” me slam 😂😂

Absolute monster of a parent. Don't know how the poor child copes!

This has brought back memories! 15 yr old DD back in 2014. Me 8 months pregnant in a scorching hot car waiting for her because she asked me to collect her at 7pm- an hour and half later she rocks up! She's 21 now and we laugh about it!

I remember when my (now adult), DD had a teenage strop and slammed the doors....I called her back from her bedroom and told her that as there were still photos on the wall she hadn't slammed the door hard enough and to try better next time. I got an eye roll and a " no, I'm not going to now!!!" which I classed as a good result for me.

This is funny. DS just came in and asked if he could have a sleepover with a friend at ours tonight. He had a sleepover last night - from all accounts, they were awake until gone 3 am. I say no. Cue, "Why can't we have a sleepover, you never say yes to anything, I just want to spend time with my friends."

Me: You can have a sleepover, but not tonight as you need to go to bed early tonight to recover from yesterday

Him: "I promise, we'll go to bed at 11".

He's 10.

hahahahahahahahaha

You need reporting to SS 😂
Hasn't she threatened to ring childline. That's what 15 year old me would have done.

Is this the same EVERYONE who's going abroad this summer? Hmmm.

@RonnieBob that's a brilliant comeback 😂

Why do they always wait until you're in the middle of something to ask?! I mean, you're hardly likely to just stand up and leave your friend sitting on her own I. the garden until you got home are you?!

Oh hang on... knowing teens... she probably thought it would be a lovely outing for you and your friend to both accompany her to her destination. 😂

Oh god, I'm so glad it's not just my teens that do this!
Son: 'Mum...my train leaves in 10 minutes; do you think you can make it?'
Me: 'What? What train? Where are you going? When will you be back? Who are you going with? You know I'm working, right??'

Dd aged 15 had a big hissy fit and told me I was very insensitive and wanted to turn round and go home because I made the mistake of pointing out that she needed to cut her toe nails whilst on the way to a walk in the woods. Apparently I shouldn't have said this because I know how self conscious she is. We saw no other person in the woods.
