What have YOU ever done for me?

[bijou3]

This is what my horrid, horrid teenage child just said to me.

I?m going to spend the whole night on here so I don?t wring her neck. At her age I was working my parents didn?t buy me anything. I think this has been a massive wakeup call I most certainly will not be doing anything for her until she begs me for forgiveness LOL

My DS told me I had ruined the last 15 years of his life! He is 15!!!

Have been very tempted to hunt out that record that was around years ago (I am old) called "No Charge" in which a mum list all the things she has done for her son during his life!!!

With a migraine?

£400?

Ok, I back with my Bularussian idea...

WeShouldOpenABar, what a good idea!! and the phone,laptop and TV {evilgrin}

Mine told me that I do nothing all day, so I did exactly that - nothing! She soon back tracked on what she'd said.

Teenagers can be evil.
When I badly broke my arm recently I came out of hospital and I asked my DS (15) to help me empty the bin that was overflowing. He just looked me up and down and said " no thanks - I have a LIFE" and walked out of the door.

Nice.

LOL Moln.

Bigbluebus, Im going to have a look for that song.

Ilove

So I'm the only one who would have given her a clip round the ear and grounded her for a fortnight after removing her laptop/mobile and make up?

I certainly wouldn't be ignoring it/talking to her in a neutral voice. Oh and I'd be taking all those clothes back as well.

Ilove Fookin' hell. I don't want my DC to get any older if that's the way they end up speaking to us.

QuicheOfDeath, no you aren't the only one. See above, I'm sending her to an orphanage.

Mine told me that she didn't ask to be born. I assured her that I was there when she was born and that she was extremely insistent ....I gave her a lot of graphic detail......she didn't then say that she didn't ask to be concieved....I think she was in a state of shock.

Other DD told me to get a life.... I said I had one but it was on hold whilst I raised her.

I am highly allergic to back chat as my almost 14 year old has found out. I came down on her like a ton of bricks the first time she tried it.

She is wary now and knows exactly when to stop. If she called me 'thick' she would regret it all the way into next week, that's for sure.

I was no angel as a teenager but you just didn't cheek your parents in the way you hear it now. Maybe i'm just an old fucker though?

trumpton did you then detail the conception, for a teenager that'd probably be worse than birth (when related to a parent(s) that is!

I found the song Bigbluebus, Its beautiful. Thank you for that.

Bigbluebus, I had that song in my head the whole time I was reading this!

OP, I agree with those who say stop doing it, immediately.

Quicheofdeath, What would you do I have just ignored her so far as I needed to calm down, shes not even said sorry.

I don't even have a teenager yet and I'm getting twitchy at reading this!

Take those clothes away RIGHT NOW!!

Don't rub it whatever you do! Neat vodka lightens it. I have the mirror image of your dd too!

LOL, I was just thinking of "No Charge." Country music has all the answers.

Jeez bit of a waste of decent Vodka?!

Yes take ALL the clothes back now!! Then remove everything from her room you've ever bought her bar the bed.

I know, sensual lettuce, but it was a new carpet too which I was so annoyed at being ruined so soon.

My kids try it and it's back to earning privileges. So, basics, food, school uniform come free, anything else comes with a bit of housework and a pleasant word.
