Put a nearly empty milk bottle back in the fridge.
Turn on all the lights in the house and leave.
Tell them at 10pm that I need something desperately for the next day that they have absolutely no way of getting in time.

Your turn.

I’m going to monopolise the tv so I can watch Liverpool v Man City then not pay attention, miss every goal, foul, substitution etc and keep asking what happened? Note I do not support either team but it will be vital I watch anyway.

Picoloangel · 16/10/2022 20:51

Say that I’m going to do everything “in a minute” and turn my nose up at all food I’m offered saying “Again?”

Picoloangel · 16/10/2022 20:53

Oh and tell them I love bananas, then never eat them again.

Wam90 · 16/10/2022 20:55

There are so many things that I plan to do!

Stand at their feet while they’re making my tea and cry/ scream at them.

Sit on the floor in the kitchen and tip the dried cat food out and then roll around in it so it ends up everywhere.

BusyBeaMe · 16/10/2022 20:57

Drop half my dinner on the floor.
rub my snotty face and grubby hands all over the patio doors.
Take my coat off just inside the front door and leave it there
Jump on every bed in the house.
Make it my mission to trash every room in the house before 9am
Chop play dough into minuscule pieces, take it to the lounge and squash into the carpet
Empty every pan and utensil from the kitchen cupboards, just as dinner is being served, and sit in the middle of the floor filling them with fried pasta
Whine incessantly about how hungry I am while dinner is being cooked and then eat nothing

Dorkwillow · 16/10/2022 20:57

Wake him up twice in the night for food, then wake him again at 4.15 to get up and watch Bluey for 2 hours then go back asleep an hour before he has to be up for work at 7

lemoncurdling · 16/10/2022 20:58

Has it not occurred to anyone that you already did this to your own parents?

Your children are now giving you payback.

Wam90 · 16/10/2022 20:59

Oh I’ll also take one bite out of each apple in the fruit bowl and then put them back 🫠

BeardyButton · 16/10/2022 21:01

Refuse to pee IN the toilet, when I can pee AROUND the toilet.

DisorganisedDaydreamer · 16/10/2022 21:01

Rub fake tan all over the toilet seat, sheets and towels.

GodammitGodric · 15/10/2022 10:24

Bring a big box of lego and tip it out on the floor. I will repeat this several times a day.

Then I'll get kinetic sand and play doh which I shall sprinkle liberally over their new sofas

🤣

ArseMenagerie · 16/10/2022 21:07

I’m going to wait until they sit on the sofa and they’ve just sipped a full glass of red wine then swish my dress/Anna costume/dressing gown wildly JUST NEAR IT. Over and over.
then I’m going to stand in-front of the telly doing my dance routine.

Quackpot · 16/10/2022 21:09

I will eat my chocolate gateaux with my hands whilst sitting a foot away from the table, dropping bits all over the floor, then make sure I run my chocolatey hands along every wall/door/handle/bannister slat as I head to the bathroom to wash my hands. While I'm there I'll have a poo and not flush, and fill the sink with water and leave it full of used water. When it's time to leave I'll leave the door wide open while it's snowing outside.

Theowlwhowasafraid · 16/10/2022 21:15

Wake up at 5am and demand they get up and make me breakfast and then entertain me until I’m ready for a nap

SaintDominic · 16/10/2022 21:16

@DisorganisedDaydreamer 😂😂 yeah forgot that one. Also demand others between the ages of 15-20 help them smooth it out evenly. This is a military operation and has to been done with precision (except the clean up part).

WandaMaximoff · 16/10/2022 21:24

Use up all their cornflour to make slime and neglect to tell them there is none left.

OhMondayMonday · 16/10/2022 21:26

I will say look look look look look look look look look….ummm….look look look look look look look….errrrrr…..look look look look look look look look look look

and then do a really shit cartwheel

BellaTheDarkOverlord · 16/10/2022 21:30

@SaintDominic Have my first LTB😅

Lucyccfc68 · 16/10/2022 21:34

I’m going to play football and leave my muddy boots on the kitchen worktop.

Have the biggest, smelliest poo in their toilet in the same room, at the same time as they are having a shower. Oh and then leave without flushing.

Eat their favourite chocolate.

Chickenandegg8 · 16/10/2022 21:36

Attempt to flush my pyjamas down the toilet

ScrambledEggForBrains · 16/10/2022 21:37

Hide all the forks!

Saltovinegar · 16/10/2022 21:38

I will storm into the bedroom at 4am shouting I've lost my phone and then stomp back down the stairs to shout I've found it within a minute. Hopefully they will be lying in bed recovering from a long haul flight, having finally got to sleep.

MammaRoly · 16/10/2022 21:43

I will ignore all warnings about spending too long on the park roundabout trying to impress my friends. On the way home from the park I will vomit all over the inside of the car like the Exorcist! Yes looking at you DS!

ThatThingOverThere · 16/10/2022 21:47

Ask them “why?” As often as possible in every communication.

Snowpatrolsnowpatrol · 16/10/2022 21:51

As soon as I walk in the door, I am going to literally drop everything I am carrying onto the floor where I am standing and then walk away leaving it there. All the better if my (adult) kids will be following me into the house so they can fall over my belongings. I am then going to race to the bathroom and shout that I am FIRST FIRST FIRST to use it.

i will tell them I'M STARVING over and over again. When they tell me its time to eat the meal they have cooked, I will ignore them while I finish (or start) something new so they can call me a few more times. When I sit at the table I will declare loudly that I HATE what they have cooked, that I'M NOT eating it and I'M STARVING. I will do this all the time they are trying to eat their meal until they give up and offer me toast. I will agree to toast and watch while they leave their meal on the table gets cold while making my toast. When they give me the toast, I will declare I'M NOT HUNGRY.
