to present teenaged DSs & their guests with laminated list of houserules?

[cheapskatemum]

I haven't actually done this yet, but am seriously considering it having found:
2 beer bottles & duvet in living room
bedroom windows open (I've got the heating on)
snacks ravaged (after proper meals have been declined)
I'll think of more - these are just the tip of the iceberg! Feel free to add your gripes...

How about:

Don't put the juice carton back into the fridge with 5 ml of liquid remaining in it.

Don't scoff all the crisps then say, "the crisps have all been eaten" (by a mysterious force, presumably).

Don't leave massive poo stains on the lavatory bowl.

I fully support the PowerPoint plan! Good luck, OP.

xposted Nearthewindmill, are we sharing the same teenagers? Is your house where they get to all the hours they're not at mine?

Well, no, I don't think I am a massive arsey twat to suggest that maybe you are being a massive arsey twat for your "you sound like bags of fun" comment to op. See, that's you dishing out an insult, that is. So its not unreasonable for other posters to feel they can make free with the insults back at you.

To make a link work on Mumsnet you need to put and at either end of the copied url.

Hope that helps.

I'll replace my 'bags of fun' comment with 'chill yo' tits' then. How's that score on the arsey-twat-o-meter?

Thanks for the IT tips BTW.

I copied & pasted the link (the complete range of my IT skills are being tested this evening!) and was greeted with Leonard from BBT holding up a sign on which was written the word "sarcasm". All alleged arsey twats say sorry nicely. It's Christmas, after all

Scores 10 of course.

Tits now freezing - those open windows came in handy!

Very possibly cheapskatemum

Do NOT suggest I bring you and your girlfriend bacon sandwiches and tea in bed.

Do NOT ask me to collect you when you are bevvied.

Do NOT text me to get you an eyeliner on my way home from work - when you are on school holidays.

Do NOT leave a bottle of nailvarnish open on the new carpet in your bedroom and get tearful when I shout at you.

Do not use my three in one face wipes to clean up acrylic paint and do not use a new dinner plate to mix acrylic and/or oil paints.

Don't laminate it. Have it tattooed on your PFB forehead so they can't say they didn't 't see it.

Alleged? No insinuation here, I scored a 10. I'm having the Massive Arsey Twat T-shirt printed tomorrow. Shall I get you one Mintyy?

My dd had a group of her very nearly teenage friends here today. One of them suffered an allergic reaction to our cat and so had to use a load of tissues. All of which she left on the living room rug rather than lob them into the bin which was sitting all empty-and-wastepaper-bin-like in the corner .

We went on holiday once for a week and left 2 dds 18 and 17 at home.

I feel your pain op.

ooops cross posted with sleepy.

Better make it "Massive Arsey Pedantic Twat"

To add why the fuck can't teen dd put face wipes in her bin. They are in the floor next to the fucking thing.

I do have teenagers before I start.

Having 2 beer bottles and a duvet in the lounge doesn't sound that bad to me, and all it would take is to ask them to take them out wouldn't it?

Eating snacks is what teens do!

If they want their bedroom windows open turn the radiators off in their rooms.

I am thinking that there is more to this and this is the straw that is breaking the camel's back.

Ah, Nearthewindmill I definitely don't share the DD. Sadly, we are a DD free zone. On the whole, the girlfriends are a massive improvement on DSs, but I appreciate that this is probably because their Mums bear the brunt of all their emotional strife.

That's a lot of text, good job I'm 'massive' then!

Iaminvisible, they have gone out, so they can't move the beer bottles & duvet. Good point about turning bedroom radiators off, but as the bedroom doors were left open I have still been heating Suffolk. I would prefer they ate meals rather than snacks, but as I said, the snacks are all gone now anyway & won't be replaced until new term about to start. These are the tip of the iceberg, I think my underlying resentment is because I feel that they take advantage when DH is away. There's a lot to cope with anyway in the build up to Christmas, so yes, these straws broke the camel's back.

I think all these rules should apply to mine apart from the petrol thing.
Definitely the cats trying to get out of his room at stupid o'clock which he doesn't seem to hear.
He's just home from uni though so I'm giving him some flack because I miss him and his bad habits.

Hiiii Maryz - longtime! How's your DS? My DS1 seems to be out of the woods.
