To be in shock four hour later

[Rhinosaurus]

This morning, my son - the 15 year old

........ who cannot get out of bed.
........who misses two school buses a week because he gets out of bed at 0750 (bus leaves at 0800).
........who sits on the sofa and stuffs food wrappers down the side rather than walk across the room to the bin.
.........who goes to put something in the dishwasher, but when he sees it is full of clean stuff having just finished its cycle, stacks plates and cups up on the worktop waiting for someone else to empty it.
.........who puts clean clothes in the laundry basket rather than fold them up and put them away.

was downstairs in the kitchen today, dressed in school uniform, at 0730, emptying the dishwasher with a cup of tea made for me on the table.....

Is he on drugs?

Is there a major unreasonable request coming up, requiring girding of the loins......

Help!

He must have

Have you checked the local paper? Is he in it?

U make a lovely grandma tho!! Joke joke hope

thickening plot.....

Just ventured into his shed bedroom. Get this..... bed MADE, less than four cups and glasses in there, and.... get this!!!!! He has hoovered!! I can tell this because there is normally lots of black sock fluff over the carpet, and it is no longer there.

Really really worried now, although looking at some the proud mums on here, he was a late developer into Kevin-ness!

Also, he loves Kevin and Perry go to Ibiza, and doesn't even get why me and DP snigger and snort all the way through it. Rhino/Kevin has a friend who is just like Perry, he is short and rather well built, and has a high voice. When I ask him how he is he says, "Yes, fine, thank you, fine, yes, thankyou" LOL

Really worried now though.... better check online banking, make sure the little fucker darling hasn't somehow managed to get my bank card and PIN.

I'm going with the alien theory definitely not the pregnant one as I am doing what all mums do and ignoring any possibilities I do not like

He's bought an original Millennium Falcon off eBay with YOUR money. A snip at £857.25

He's arranged a sleepover with his football team/girlfriend.

He's joined the Moonies.

He's bringing a girl back after school - and they are going up to his room.........to talk,,,,,and stuff

If he's vacuumed then it's a girl. :o

I did see something on the news about a hit and run BMW, which caused ££££'s worth of damage to some nice Mercs.... Not in your area is it?

:O

But no, seriously, it might have just suddenly occured to him to not smell anymore. Although i would set up a contingency plan quick, and be prepared for ANYTHING!!!!!

Hang on Lunabelly - an original millenium falcon?? ds (5) is currently playing with one from the late 70s /early 80s......should I demand it back??

He's in luuuuuuuurrrve. Hide the phone now because all you are going to hear from now on is this;

"You put the phone down first"

"No you"

"You didn't put the phone down either"

"Okay I'll put the phone down"

"Well you didn't either"

Repeat for half and hour.......................

He hoovered?! It's got to be a girl! Maybe he's going to propose... Or he's bought a puppy and it's shedding hair?

Yes, if he has hoovered he must think someone is going to be seeing his bedroom.

It's bad. No question. The only debate is what variety of bad.

I too am proud mummy to a son exactly like this. he is 19 now. we get intermittent days, sometimes weeks of this pleasantness.... then relapse, sorry to be the bearer of bad news just recovering from the weekend when he came in at 7.30am yes am and announced not to worry as I screamed a little at the state of the black eye he had acquired! yep fighting seems to be his new hobby (thug) he says he has learnt his lesson as I am barely speaking to him and girlfriend refuses to take his calls.... we will see.

He wants to go to a festival

Ah..
That clears it.
Girlfriend.

Only time I would voluntarily tidy and clean my own room at that age was if I was expecting female company. Or potentially hiding something I didn't want my DM to find while she was cleaning/tidying herself.

I don't think he is bothered about what girls think about his room, as previous girlfriends have had to suffer the shed bedroom in its full glory of trousers with pants inside them inside out on the floor, soggy tissues from wanking cold/sneezing on the floor where he has missed the bin, cups with mould growing in them under the bed......

hmmmmm I am going with

a) Festival
b) Hiding something
c) Secret pet

(I had a secret pet hamster when I was a teen, maybe it's genetic).

Last time my son was civil at that age was a festival

has someone given him a bollocking? Are you secretly my DH and have altered a few details about the conversation we had with DS last night?

Mine is 12, nearly 13 and his attitude has changed over night. He doesnt give a flying fig about anything, he is driving me insane.

So - laptop, Xbox and phone/ipod all removed.

Oh dear my oldest DS is 7 and reading the above posts is actually making me appreciate that he only models himself on Horrid Henry...oh crap that's stage one isn't it?

Don't go out! You we need to know what his deep, dark secret is. Maybe he's joined the Moonies, or the Mormons? (They look clean and tidy. Not necessarily in a good way, but still...)

leftmysociallifeatthedoor - we'll, just seen one for sale for £189.99, boxed admittedly, but you might want to steer ds towards cBeebies spin-offs instead

OH god!!! that suspense.

I need to know why OH WHY!!!!
