DS is moaning about his duvet set AIBU

[wakeupandsmellthecoffee]

He says that a 14yr old having a McLaren Lewis Hamilton duvet set is vanquish and can he have another one please.
I SAY a grown man would want this set so he is being unreasonable.I then said I would ask mumsnet.AIBU.

So, vanquish is now MN speak for babyish.

My DS, 8, still has Cars curtains and lamp, as well as pillow case/duvet cover.

I keep wondering when he's going to say it's vanquish, but so far so good.

But most of his bedding is now plain.

Yabu. Not even my 11 year old would want that.

I have gone for a marine style with blue white and red sort of stripes for my boys.

Otherwise plain dye. Check out Next bedding.

I am loving the use of vanquish here!

I think when my DS was about 12 I got rid of the more childish ones, I also chucked out the Chelsea Football one as the Quality wasn't great. he has blue laura Ashley check one and a John Lewis stripe one. I think I may still have the odd more childish one but they were nice for when he was younger.

Vanquish reminds me of James Bond, though...

Team Vanquish.Lol.

Omg I've made the round up

QOD has arrived! I'm so excited, I know that's a bit vanquish but hey! No one said I had to grow up

Oh god this reminds me of my teens when my mum insisted I have matching floral Dormer bedding and curtains. Oh yes,and the matching bloody wallpaper borders.

I vowed to let my future children have a say in their bedroom decor.

Loving Van/Vanquish.

Buy him a new set lol

I think if his friends came round to visit he could get a lot of heat for "sleeping" with Lewis Hamilton.

One of my (Male) childhood friends was kindly gifted a George Michael "Faith" duvet set as a teen. He still gets slagged about it once in a while. He's 39.

This thread is so making me smile.

thanks for my new username inspiration

Seriously lol

Tell him to turn it over and use the plain side

Made me smile. My DD (15, almost 16) was over the moon with her recent charity shop find.... a brand new Blues Clues Duvet set. She cares not a jot what her mates think and thinks its brilliantly retro. She also has Avengers covers.

I think at 14 I let DS (now 20) have input, he had mostly Marvel comics and Spongebob on his double bed. He was quite put out when he moved in with his GF earlier this year and she refused to let him bring his spiderman or spongebob duvet

DGS staying soon and I have just ironed the pillowcase featuring Misca the Bear (mascot for the Moscow Olympics in 1980) which was given to my DD when she was 3.... . It's still going strong..!

When my DH went to university, he had to buy himself some bedding. He went for the 2 cheapest sets available in the shop - so plain yellow and plain pink.
I didn't run a mile, though I do loathe pink.

adds vanquish to teenage speak dictionary

Dow he only have 1 duvet cover?

Get him a new one & this vanquish one can be his spare when the new one is being washed.

My daughter still has her Barbie bedding. She's 20. [parenting fail]

Think it's time he learnt the important pros and cons of different colours.
In a nut shell, light colours show the dark dirt/stains and dark colours show up the light coloured marks/stains .

Lol

get him a hello kitty set that will be well vanquish
