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.

Oh jeez 18 16 yr old girls you are a braver woman than me.

Dd1 stank last week, I had bought her deodorant instead of anti persperant. She could spell herself atall, even her jammie top stank. And she showers every night.

Good luck with the party Shock
I like Cake too

Gibble1 · 02/04/2015 22:40

I like cake and I love the shredded wheat bird nest cakes. Mmmmmmm.
My 2 are right soap dodgers and will happily go around without brushing their teeth. They like to be clean but are so lazy they don't like the process of getting clean! Dirty mingers.

Ledkr my two teens, particularly DD (13) are like that too.

I call it their "Deny everything, Baldrick" mode.

"Gosh you look tired."
"I'm not."
"All right, I'm not nagging, just worried. I know you went to bed early."
"I'm NOT tired."
"Do you feel OK though? There are big black shadows under your eyes."
"There's nothing wrong!" < eye roll >
"Ok, ok, I'm your Mum, I'm allowed to worry."
"I'm FINE."

Two days later she looks 100 times better - would it have hurt to say she felt a bit tired or off-colour?

Butterfly I look forward to the photo of the dog poo typhoid cake Easter Grin

Pyjamasandwine · 03/04/2015 00:35

Well we got home after being banished to the pub. Smile

The house was still standing and amazingly tidy and clean.

2 of the girls were tidying up
With back bags( not dd) and another angel was hold on vaccuming

One lad was chatty in drink but fine.

Very impressed with the teens. Wink

catzpyjamas · 03/04/2015 00:39

Nice one fellow pyjamas. Hopefully there's not too many sore heads in the morning (from the sound of the vacuum cleaner obviously)

butterfly2015 · 03/04/2015 00:40

I bet they don't clean up at home. Tell their parents and you'll get the stunned look. My teen was cleaning? Were they being forced to at gun point? No? Are you sure it was my child?

Glad you all had a good night.

Pyjamasandwine · 03/04/2015 01:06

butterfly2015 · 03/04/2015 15:26

I hope I've done this right. And that I've uploaded the right photo.

teen fucking dramas!!
butterfly2015 · 03/04/2015 15:27

Phew! That's the typhoid cake.

catzpyjamas · 03/04/2015 15:36

Love it! Needs a Brew to go with it.

Cocolepew · 03/04/2015 15:52

Love the punk chicks Grin

Gibble1 · 03/04/2015 22:38

Cake looks lovely. How many people do you think you can wipe out with the toxins then? Do you have an aim Wink. Those chicks are amazing though, they look positively toxic. Just right for the top of a typhoid cake :D

butterfly2015 · 03/04/2015 23:06

I think 8 people possibly. Keep an eye on the news tomorrow for a report on toxic cake hospitalising an entire family.

butterfly2015 · 04/04/2015 15:08

The typhoid cake won the competition. Dd 2 is very happy both her enormous Easter egg she got as a prize. I'm feeling quite smug (and a bit sick due to eating cake, creme eggs x 2 and a twix).

We were basically in a field at a,farm with gazebos set up with bales of hay as seats. Zillions of small people plus an assortment of dogs, 2 chickens, a duck and a very large goat which tried to stuff it's head in our picnic bag ...I was wresting with it and resorted to telling it to fuck off. Eventually got it out the gazebo, Sat down ....teens in hysterics and gesturing madly and look down to find the fucking goat has managed to get its head under the gazebo material and is trying to Nick a bag of cheese and onion. Was a good day.

Ledkr · 04/04/2015 19:12

Got back from few days away and dd went straight up to to her room!
SHE IS CLEANING IT!!
WTAF?
also she has on several occasions done setting useful WITHOUT BEING ASKED Shock

DollyTwat · 04/04/2015 19:47

My teen is being lovely - mostly because I've been talked into a sleepover Monday night. He knows I hate them

butterfly2015 · 04/04/2015 19:49

Ledkr maybe it's so you hand over the chocolate tomorrow :o

Bogeyface · 04/04/2015 20:27

Ledkr its frightening isnt it?!

:o

Gibble1 · 04/04/2015 20:29

Well, I can't say I've been glued to the news all day so I have probably missed the news reports of toxic cake wiping out entire villages and causing the end of the world for a poor underfed goat.
I have taken my teen out clothes shopping today. God, there are some awful clothes ATM. I had to call in the assistance of an orange teen in New Look when DD was trying to buy a pair of skinny jeans a size too small. She also had a paddy when (at the end of the day) I saw a pair of outdoors trousers perfect for me for cubs. So I went to try them on and she prances over with the smallest tightest pair of shorts she can find saying she's going to try them on and gets really arsey when I refuse and say I would never buy them for her. She is hell bent on wearing the smallest shorts in the world and it just looks bloody awful with great big corned beef thighs hanging out. She's cost me an absolute fortune though!

Normal service has resuned!!
Most of what she took out of her room is on the landing and she all but refused to help unpack the coer van tonight.
All good then!!

butterfly2015 · 04/04/2015 22:34

Don't go shopping with teens, it only ends in tears and large quantities of alcohol needing to be consumed. You will never get it right. Ever. No matter how much they like something, if you say it's lovely, they will go on about you spoiling everything or something equally unreasonable.

Lancelottie · 04/04/2015 22:51

DD is currently specialising in complete incomprehensibility.
Today at dinner, out of nowhere:
DD 'So sometimes, when I have one cupcake left, and it's geography, and I'd look a bit silly carrying a box big enough for 12, I let her, so she quite likes me.'
DH (bewildered): 'What cupcakes?'
DD: 'Why do you have to spoil everything by going on about what I eat?'
