seething over strawberry lube.

we dont mind our grown up sons having girlfriends around, however finding a tube of strawberry lube rolling around the floor, (and a punnet of fresh strawberries) is quite bad.

older brother asked him 3 times to pick it up, but he forgot. so I, his mother picked it up and have found a home for it.

am going to have a word with him, but really who on earth thought that being a parent would mean talking to yr adult son about this?

i would ask him not to have his girlfriends around until he can be considerate of all the people living in the house...

Your son and his GF ABVU. It should have been mint lube, much better :o

shrimponastick · 18/06/2012 09:54

Sorry but that just made me Grin

WorraLiberty · 18/06/2012 09:56

Right, I get why they need lube but fresh strawberries?

StripyMagicDragon · 18/06/2012 09:56

Tbh, it would make me laugh. And the strawberry stuff is vile. Least you didn't find a massive strap on, as my step sisters mum did. That was hilarious and the story still gets brought out at family gatherings!

Buntingbunny · 18/06/2012 09:58

Sorry me tooGrinGrin

I'd be tempted to say nothing, but put it somewhere really silly so he knows you've seen it.

Simple solution, find something really kinky to leave lying around (pair of crotchless knickers on the washing line?) that should horrify him suitably Grin

LentillyFart · 18/06/2012 10:00

Act dumb and put it on his toast in the morning. That'll give him something to think about!

eragon · 18/06/2012 10:02

BTW they sleep in our back room/dinning room on a sofa bed, lube found rolling around the dinning room table with scattered strawberries.

I found something far worse a few months ago, and so thought this sort of carelessness was gone.

If it were me shagging in my DP house, then I would hope to more careful about hiding any evidence. Grin

Liking the punnet of strawberries. At least he is getting 1 of his 5 a day!!

AmazingBouncingFerret · 18/06/2012 10:05

At least he's going towards getting his five a day...

AmazingBouncingFerret · 18/06/2012 10:06

aha xpost shrimponastick!

manicbmc · 18/06/2012 10:07

Give him a cantaloupe and a melon baller and tell him to knock himself out. Grin

TerraNotSoFirma · 18/06/2012 10:10

What did you find before

TerraNotSoFirma · 18/06/2012 10:10

forgot the ?

WeShouldOpenABar · 18/06/2012 10:10

I would just wait until his girlfriend was in the house and hand it back to him loudly and with a knowing look at her , she'll soon have him cleaning up after himself

HeadfirstForHalos · 18/06/2012 10:12

Oh that's hilarious! I would rip the piss out of him endlessly Grin

HeadfirstForHalos · 18/06/2012 10:13

WeShould that's brilliant!

geegee888 · 18/06/2012 10:13

Its not nice to find something like that OP!

But also just wanted to say this is a fab title. I opened it to see how someone could seeth about strawberry lube!

squeakytoy · 18/06/2012 10:14

I would probably find it quite amusing too and take the piss out of both of them, and if they dont like it, suggest they find a place to rent, or tidy up after themselves..

LoopyLoopsCorgiPoops · 18/06/2012 10:15

Intrigued about the worse thing. Do tell.

eragon · 18/06/2012 10:16

I dont think girlfriend would be that bothered, both my son and her are very much alike. its a very good match. they have some fantastic qualities as a young couple. just both are very messy and untidy people.

i cant bring myself to eat any strawberries at the moment.

mention strawberrys at every opportunity, embarrass them out of it. (apologies for crap typing currently balancing baby/bottle)

Sparklingbrook · 18/06/2012 12:19

Please tell us what the worse thing was. Grin

mangomadness · 18/06/2012 12:22

My db downloaded some naughty lady photos onto family pc which little sis could have seen. So my mum printed off pics of penises and decorated his room with them when he was at work. It was never spoken of but needless to say he didn't download stuff into pc again! Mum obviously decorated room when sis was fast asleep, and no little girl wants to go into a teenage boys stinking cess pit.
