teen fucking dramas!!

[Mintyy]

I mean really and truly, aibu?

If you've never trod on eggshells before, you certainly will when you become owner of a teen.

That is all.

I once had to use DS phone, he was about 14. One of his searches was for "naked ladies"

At least when I was a teen I could put the magazines into an old briefcase and know that my DM would never, ever open it . . .

Ah but he said naked ladieshow sweet.

Yeah, DH said to him in all seriousness "I think that's what you call a contradiction in terms, son".

Katie exact same search on our old PC from DS (then 13 now 24)

Saving that one for when he has his own kids! It was one of those weird moments, I really didnt want him looking for naked anything on the internet, but equally I did think that "ladies" was quite sweet!

yes, definitely one for the wedding.
Sadly, DS moved on to the three dimensional naked ladies.

Same with DS although his GF has turned out to be far more trouble than the other kind....... a WHOLE other thread!

Lets just say that the wedding (Oh save me from that!) will make for some interesting threads...

Oh no, my DD is 5 and already behaves like some of your teens. We've actually wondered this week what it'd be like when she's one

I have nothing negative to say today. Teen is on school holidays and even when her A level homework arrived in the post she just took it and said nothing.

She starts her new job tomorrow and is looking forward to it.

I'm waiting for the request for money which will be repaid from her wages. Or something.

Stronger DD2 is using the house spare phone because she sat on hers. Wasnt her fault though obviously......

I should add that she only has the spare because I sometimes need to contact her, otherwise she would be phoneless. As it is, the fact that it is a shitty £10 samsung non-smartphone (or thickphone as she calls it) is worse to her than not having one at all :o

Ohhhh the teenage years.

I have three daughters and the youngest will turn 13 this summer. All of a sudden it seems impossible to voluntarily come downstairs before around midday during weekends or school holidays.

Makeup must be put on and re-applied before every single move. For youngest anyway.

Teenagers don't think parents are cool pets to have at all. If I happen to be heading into town for milk/bread etc. as the school bus arrives and drops them off then woe betide me if I so much as glance at mine. Oh, and if I dare ask whether they remembered their keys so that they can let themselves in before I get back ....... !!! I should really get an invisibility cloak.

Also, HOW, can one whose hair and makeup must be so immaculate apparently not even notice what an absolute pit her bedroom is? I've seen less chaotic rubbish dumps!!

Oh, and there is a certain legendary strop that only a teenager can carry off.

They are like an alien race. My eldest is almost 20 now and is out the other side. Human again.

DS1 has the sniffles. I asked him if he wanted an apple and he says 'yes but can you cut it up for me?. He's 17. And I did. It made him feel all warm inside

Aww hell Thats sweet!

I do think that sometimes they want looking after, it must be quite scarey to not be in control of your emotions.

DD had a rotten cold before Xmas, she caught it off me and I felt terrible so I was sympthetic. She came down for some paracetamol one evening and I offered her some hot chocolate and she looked at me with a little smile and for a split second she was like my little girl again, a cute little 5 year old who wanted Mummy to make it all better. So we had hot chocolate and a cuddle on the sofa under a duvet.

There are glimpses!

I've got a houseful of teenagers this morning , they've all been sleeping at each other's houses since Friday and last night was my turn.

Actually, I think I got the prime position for a sleepover, 4th night in a row, they're all knackered so were down and out by 10pm

Actually, they're all very polite and nice, except my own who is stropping because.............we don't have any brioche

I do think that sometimes they want looking after, it must be quite scarey to not be in control of your emotions.

Mine has really struggled with all the changes to her body and starting her periods. She absolutely hates it and even in the middle of her screaming at me like a banshee, all she really wants is a hot water bottle, a mug of hot chocolate and a cuddle with Mummy. Hot chocolate is the cure-all here

Here too, we get through tins and tins of the stuff, I darent add up how much more milk we are getting through too!

Scrap what I said earlier. He's got a face on because I bought him strawberry laces. He wanted FIZZY strawberry laces. He's going to end up with no fucking strawberry laces in a minute.

2 of mine fell out with me this morning. 14year old sighed and eyerolled one time too many so I decided no, you cannot go to a 15 movie, you haven't seen the first 6 anyway. 12 year old told me he put his cream on, I went to check. Just to be told "actually I just lied". Cue peri meno strop from me. Can we buy the barrel to store them in yet? Maybe someone could point me in yhe general direction of the morning wine? Please???

Oh I have one of these. 13 yo version. My all time favourite so far is taking a packed lunch to eat in the car as she couldn't eat in a cafe with us. She nearly did it as well, but at the last moment I hauled her out of the car as there were some unsalubrious characters hanging around the car park. We then had to sit right at the back of the cafe, in case anyone saw us.
We weren't even in our home town.

Well DDs confidence in her report was misplaced We had her parent/teacher interviews this afternoon.
Most of her teachers say she needs to change her friendship group. She has improved in the last few weeks because she is trying not to get too involved with the dramas. But its a very small year group so its a bit harder for her and she has been verbally threatened by some girls for not getting involved.
Ill be glad when shes off for Easter.

Can I have the strawberry laces please?

Oh coco that's tough. You know my boys as teens were a pita but no probs re friendship groups etc boys do just get on with it.

My girls though get involved in the friendship in fights far too much for my likening. They are by no means the worst but it drives me crazy sometimes.

I absolutely refuse to get involved though as it's usually complete nonsense but some of the moms did. One I really quite like,but she's years younger than me, on her first teen, used to get heavily involved and I bluntly told her that it was a complete waste if time as one day they are enemies at daggers drawn and the next day all over each other. She is now educated in their ways.

Big news in the pj household. We have finally brought the prom dress! It wasn't too expensive and dh says he is relived.

Bless him he has no knowledge of the hair/ nail/tan appointment.
