Aftermath of teen party

58 replies

DS had drinks for friends last night. We got plenty of drink, snacks as requested and retired upstairs to listen to horrid music coming from the kitchen

I got up this morning preparing for the worst to find empties in the recycling, the dishwasher put on and everything put away.

I did have to pick up a piece of popcorn that hadn't been swept up.

AIBU to think teenagers don't know how to behave these days?

The house wasn't trashed? No teen face down on kitchen floor?!

Teen these days, tut tut

All clean and respectful something went wrong

Splodgeses · 07/03/2015 09:57

Ir maybe they partied too much and tried to make up for it?

Either way, you have yourself a very responsible, respectful ds. Be proud and thank him for being considerate Smile

ThinkIveBeenHacked · 07/03/2015 09:57

Clearly you have done a shit job at raising your son Grin

Well, I wasn't expecting to read that op, but it did make me Smile

BuggerLumpsAnnoyed · 07/03/2015 09:58

Sickening. I remember my (last) teen party. I had to steal peoples shoes in the morning so they would clean their sick from the garden and eggs they threw at the window. I remember some dedicated friends icecubing the carpet with me to chip chewing gum off

Grin Nice post for a Saturday morning Grin

U were upstairs, try going out you might then get kitchen disaster with drunk girl on front doorstep sobbing as bf has dumped her

woowoo22 · 07/03/2015 10:00

That is so cute. How lovely! I had to repaint the bathroom after one of my (youthful) parties Blush

WitchesTits · 07/03/2015 10:01

Make him have another party and behave properly this time.

MrsTawdry · 07/03/2015 10:01

Lol. I remember when I was 17 my friend's parents went away and we had the party to end all parties. He was wild anyway but I remember the house packed with teens, surfing on the ironing board, falling in the fishpond, jumping out of windows...we cleaned up so well that his Mum knew he'd had a secret party because the house looked better than when they left! Grin

CrystalCove · 07/03/2015 10:02

Fab! We let my DS have done friends round for his 18th a few years ago on the premise we went out for a few hours and his 2 younger brothers were in bed so he technically was babysitting. I to feared the worst but came home to a dark living room full of 6 feet boys who all thanked me for the food I had made for them! And yes in the morning all the empties were already in the recycling outside!!!

notnaice · 07/03/2015 10:09

Teens often rebel. It is part of growing up.

Watching you behave disgracefully at your parties, will have left its mark. Don't worry op, he will have wild parties when he's grown up and stopped rebelling. Grin

a few years ago my neighbours went away for the weekend and left their 17 year old to have a party. to cut a very long story short it ended with about 10 police officers kettling the assembled teenagers down the street to disperse the crowd.

that was one hell of a party!

GrassyBottom · 07/03/2015 10:17

DS17 having a party tonight, I look forward to a pristine house in the morning Grin.

It gets worse.
The elderflower was drunk and the vegetable crudités were eaten. Someone even changed the empty loo roll.

notnaice I rather think you're right Grin

They sound rather adorable! Oh if only I were twenty ten years younger.
Except for the appalling taste in music... What was it, rap?

MeganChips · 07/03/2015 10:34

I had a party once when my parents went away overnight. Nothing was trashed and I left the place pristine.

DM walked in through the door and immediately had a go at me for having a party. I'd left the place uncharcteristically tidy apparently, that's what tipped her off.

EauRouge · 07/03/2015 10:36

My neighbours often ask us to keep an eye on their house when they go away for the weekend. They have an 18yo and a 21yo. No parties ever, not even any loud music. Kids these days Grin

Idontseeanysontarans · 07/03/2015 10:38

Grin DS had a party with a sleepover a while ago, I came downstairs the next morning expecting to see a mess only to find them quietly clearing up any rubbish and DS making his mates breakfast!
Do teens actually rebel these days?

HoppityVoosh · 07/03/2015 10:42

My parents went on holiday last year and left my brother in the house. During one of his parties one of his friends made a hole in the living room wall. My parents came home to a newly plastered and painted living room Grin

londonrach · 07/03/2015 10:43

Op you done a terrible job with your teenage son! What no drunk woman, no sick, no police cars!!!! Hes a teenager, he has a rebel, part of being a teenager. He left the house clean and tidy! Grin He sounds amazing, be proud!

HoppityVoosh · 07/03/2015 10:43

Oh, and the friend of a friend done such a good job of the plastering he's now their go to decorator!

Finola1step · 07/03/2015 10:48

Ah, see I think they are lulling you into a false sense of security. Behind the scenes, they are planning the mother of all parties (perhaps when you are away for the night). Which of course you will allow because they were so well behaved last time...

Well, that's the way my teenage mind would have worked! Grin

TheFairyCaravan · 07/03/2015 10:48

We went on holiday last year and left our two teens alone. They never had a party. I texted on the Sunday night to see if they were ok, DS2 texted back "I've cooked a roast dinner now I'm doing the ironing!" Grin

slanleat · 07/03/2015 11:11

We had a similarly disappointing aftermath to one of our teens having a party. We had actually been away overnight and he had a 'few friends over'.

The only evidence of twenty plus teens in our house was one broken wine glass in the recycling bin.

And they bought us a new glass....
