When your adult children judge you in your own damn house

[SomethingWitty44]

Just that really...! Husband & I popped to the pub. Beds changed, House clean, food in house, all washing done. Popped to pub. 19 year old "wasn't expecting us to be out so late" 6pm. Dinner was half prepared before we left. Would I be bloody unreasonable to punch the pretentious twat from here to 2030?? Year - not time!!!

You sound hammered!

I think this is kids of today.... i went away with my younger two over the summer.... left 19 and 23 at home..... cupboards, freezer all full.... house clean and all up together...

19 year old daughter was apparently moaning to 23 year son that I've fugged off for the weekend and left her with nothing!!

Absolute rubbish.... poor little lady couldn't have her tea and toast in the morning because I didn't buy fresh bread and milk before I left!

Must add.... she had a car on the drive, money and M&S is 10 minute walk from our home!

We just do to much for them 🙈

This is absolutely brilliant !!!

Cannot believe some of the responses here, po faced nonsense.

OP was clearly having a laugh !!!!

My 22yo judges me all the time. The house has cobwebs, the kitchen floor's not clean, the living room needs hoovering. He WFH and is here all day. I am out at work from 8.30-6. I tell him to do it himself or feel free to move out. He shuts up for a bit.
Rinse and repeat a few times per week.
He's not moved out yet.

Sorry I missed the joke - which bit of calling your kid a pretentious twat and threatening to punch them for making a benign comment is funny?

There’s no indication they are entitled or were expecting dinner.

also what’s remotely ‘pretentious’ about that situation?

Sounds like your dc doesn't like your drinking. Sorry, but as a child of an alcoholic i recognise the defensiveness over 'a few innocent drinks'

Tell 19 that henceforth Fridays are his night to cook a full family dinner for all.

If you're still doing his washing, cleaning his room, providing pocket money and taxi-ing him around... stop.

It's time for the little boy to man up.

Not remotely funny. But then we don't all share the same sense of humour.

I hope everything is OK in that household.

YABU

Maybe start learning the art of communication.

Spot on. You don't spontaneously drop making dinner halfway to "pop to the pub" unless you rely on alcohol a little too much.

And calling your child a pretentious twat over a comment is so nasty and weird. You raised him. If he turned out to be the way you describe him, then it's your own fault...
