We are off to Spain tomorrow, DS has gone out tonight with our blessing... he has a shock coming when he gets home....

[EllenWaiteourkid]

He isn't coming home (staying at a friends) which makes our leaving the house early in the morning easier, we can make as much noise as we like. Anyhoo.....

I have stripped out the pedal bin, (DH placing bets on whether he knows where the fresh bin liners are) 😁

I have put the food bin contents outside but failed to reline the bin.

The dishwasher is full to capacity but whoops I appear to have forgotten to run it before we leave.

None of it major, but all the invisible parts of how a house runs....

Fair enough. But surely, just because he doesn’t know where the bin liners are (or claims not to know) doesn’t mean he is physically incapable of lining the bin? Sounds more like he just can’t be arsed with his chores to me. I mean, come on, who doesn’t know how to line a bin? 🤨

He’s just going to fill the sink and put trash straight into the bin, surely?

He is definitely going to use the bin without a liner. I bet my life savings on it!

(Joke is on you because I am very poor. My life savings could just about cover a new roll of bin liners for your DS)

Is this a reverse and you’re the son?

Another bloke raised to be domestically incompetent and unleashed on the world. Awesome. Just what the world needed.

It’s so so funny when you raise a lad to not know this stuff. It’s hysterical. I personally can’t stop laughing at the utter fun of it.I’m glad the op came to tell millions of us what she’d raised.

Oh how we all laughed and laughed.

How old is he OP?

Don't think OPs coming back. I wouldn't tbf😬🤣

This. Jesus wept.

My bet is that he'll have mates round every night

They'll probably piss in the (unlined) bin and take all of the manky stuff out of the dish washer to steam cook a massive salmon for their lunch on the last day

You should start another thread for unusual uses for an unlined bin and a dishwasher

Bloody Hell, you're not wrong there.

@EllenWaiteourkid I hope you also put lots of empty cereal boxes in the cereal cupboard. Because that's what you do when you finish something. By the same token, you should have left all the perishables out on the worktop, because it only makes sense to put things away when they are finished with.

Stolen from Facebook.

What’s that op I don’t understand. Do bore off you silly fuckers.

Anyone else lamenting the 00’s mumsnet right now? The comments would have been comedy gold

This, too. In spades.

I now realise I should have added "lighthearted" to my previous post. Mea culpa.

I left my 18 yo. She invited her friend round and they cleaned everything! I felt mildly insulted and still haven't found all my oven trays😂

Spiteful.

All the worst of MN right here, the earnest, humourless dullness.

Yep - it's turning me right off the site. Everyone is so earnest, not to mention terminally offended, fun has definitely left planet MN.

What’s funny about raising a near adult male who doesn’t know where the bin liners are or how to use a dishwasher? Haha. I’m an incompetent parent and leaving a mess for my kid.. How funny is that.let’s all laugh at my parental incompetence and my sons.

A case in point. God, how boring and humourless are people becoming.

The whole thing is just odd, more so they way you seem to have thought it is all so funny to do, not sure what lesson you hope he learns but hopefully it won't be just to resent you for your odd behaviour

As a father I can completely get what you're saying OP..

Jesus, if that is spiteful, I wonder what word you reserve for the truly bad people out there.

OP I find it funny But think it might really backfire 😂

You'll come back to a sparkling house because he'll do a last minute mad clean to hide the fact he's had parties every night 😁

You may forget you spoke when you wake up sober.

This 🙄

OP are you drunk?

Then she still has a full dishwasher?? No idea what that has to do with anything!
