She is doing my head in.

Sure she'll do yours in too.

Free to a good home?

I’m now immune to teenagers, so willing to exchange any of the above for a cat who likes to show its anus on all of my Teams meetings. Every single time! 😳

DottyPencil · 13/03/2024 21:22

Swapped my 1966 H model for a 1977 version. Can recommend.

No thank you, I am enjoying the peace and quiet as I persuaded the military to take on the two male giants with gruff voices that were once babies. I convince myself they were by looking a photographic evidence.

The military like them and reckon they are the salt of the earth. They eat their own weight every day. It was like one long meal

If it's any help I know how to take a bedroom door off it's hinges and nail it back together.

Illpickthatup · 13/03/2024 21:35

Will swap you for a stinking teenage boy who couldn't even manage to wish his dad a happy birthday yesterday or get him so much as a card.

SnugglyJumpersMakeItBetter · 13/03/2024 21:36

Anyone want a 3 year old bottersnike? Honestly I don't even want payment or an exchange or anything, he's all yours! First come first served! Just to give you fair warning though, he'll pester you 18 times a minute about nothing at all, and has recently learned how to open the fridge door...

LorlieS · 13/03/2024 21:36

I've got two teenagers (16 and almost 14)...AND a toddler (3)!!!! Which one would you like to swap with!! 😂 😆 😂

CharlotteBog · 13/03/2024 21:48

Go on then....send her to me. I've raised one son and the other is a work in progress. I wonder if he'd even notice if another person moved in. Maybe if she stood in front of the fridge impeding his access to food.
What are her redeeming qualities?

Happy to swap two teenagers for a dozen toddlers.

My auto brain complete a sentence read that as swapping for a dozen eggs.
Seems reasonable. I do love an omelette

Netaporter · 13/03/2024 22:28

lol. I have a malfunctioning 1969 model. Currently undergoing a factory reset on the main battery unit. He comes complete with a total disregard for any medical advice to prolong the battery unit.

DD is at college now. The water company has actually written to ask me if we have moved out/left the house empty because the water useage since last September has reduced by 2/3rds. It looks like I will be saving a fortune over the year…😂

DancefloorAcrobatics · 13/03/2024 22:48

I'm just offering a lovely teen boy- happy to swap with a more suitable replacement.
Honestly, you wouldn't really know he's there if it wasn't for a cretin odour, empty fridge and increased use of electricity.
No issue with water usage or any confrontarional show dows.
All he requires is a room with a bed and plenty of sockets for is gadgets.

Noseybookworm · 13/03/2024 23:25

I loved my friends teenage daughters having 5 boys myself! They had their moments but not a patch on me and my sisters - we were horrors!! 😂 be glad you're raising a stong woman who won't be anyone's doormat! Have a 🍷 and 🍫 and hide in your room!

TheTimeIsNowMaybeNow · 13/03/2024 23:32

mamaduckbone · 06/03/2024 18:46

I'll exchange you for a grunting teenage boy who eats approx 28 meals a day.
Just for a change.

I'm on my 3rd, it's great with the price of food these days!

One more to go after this one

Notthatcatagain · 14/03/2024 00:37

I have a 1945 model, no short term memory, very little in the way of practical skills although he does clean the chicken coop out very nicely. Quiet model, no real trouble as long as his dinner arrives regularly and the TV is working. I'm open to offers, happy to consider a teenage model but no toddlers

rsih91 · 14/03/2024 00:50

I'll swap my 13 year old teenage boy who is self obsessed, disrespectful and just doesn't listen when given instructions - his lost his phone and ps5.

I actually apologised to my parents this week for the teenage years, I wasn't a bad kid but definitely wasn't an angel. The teenage stage is my least fave age, I've got 3 more of them to go after him 😅 sending lots of strength

'Cretin odour'? That's how DD might describe the boys in her class.

DramaAlpaca · 14/03/2024 01:03

I'm an expert in teenage boys, having raised three of them to adulthood and come out the other side reasonably intact. I can cope with anything a teenage boy can throw at me. Bring it on.

A teenage girl? No, sorry, that's completely outside my comfort zone. They are a scary total mystery to me.

SpringSprungALeak · 14/03/2024 01:11

Melly1991 · 06/03/2024 19:03

Does anyone want a 19 month old who only eats skips, her hair, and Oreo biscuits. Also her favourite was is 'No!'

@Melly1991

I'll take that one please. @lucysmam , sorry mate, if I'm doing it again I want all the cuddles, all the fun stuff, I don't want to head straight to 'teenagers'. (DD1 or DD2 up for rehoming right now??)

StarlightLady · 14/03/2024 07:00

Whatever! 😀

vidflex · 14/03/2024 07:29

I've bought up three of my own and I foster teens. I honestly question my own sanity lol

StarlightLady · 14/03/2024 09:10

@vidflex - When l first started to read your post l thought you were going to say how easy it was 😂.

Notchangingnameagain · 14/03/2024 09:38

Not for 1 million pounds.

Many teenagers are arseholes.

My girls - Horrendously moody, can’t look at them without being accused of staring. Weirdo’s. The list goes on.
My boy - Does some seriously fucking crazy stuff that makes me think WTAF, yet is not moody etc.

Bizarre!

Piscesmumma1978 · 14/03/2024 10:50

I have one going spare as well. 14, absolute nightmare.

Why are there parenting classes for newborns but nothing for teens. If I’d have known what pure hell this would be I would have re considered having children.

newborn and toddler years are a dream compared to this 🥹

BlowDryRat · 14/03/2024 11:41

I'll swap you for a 14 year-old phoning from an expensive ski trip to complain about the food and the hotel bathroom, and an 11 year-old with more front than Blackpool? Both occasionally cute. Do not come with tidying upgrades.
