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.

Oh yes - the 'borrowing' of our things. You'd think it wouldn't happen with a son - but you would be wrong. Ds3 often borrows my tweezers (the ones I use to pluck my chin hairs ), and in the past, my favourite hairbrush has vanished too. He just comes in and helps himself. He's got my Simple moisturiser too - but I gave him that.

She 'borrows' earrings , make up, Converse, nail varnish, leggings [I'm a 14 shes a 6 at most ) All never to be seen again.
I'm flavour of the day atm as I bought her a new eyeliner

That strategy backfired on me, Catzpyjamas. DD has been determinedly walking next-door's dog since November and is more desperate than ever for her own mutt.

We've all been shopping today. I had to buy teen an ear thingy and I got dd 2 some skull and crossbones earrings.

Then we went to asda. Bear in mind if I go alone I will spend £50. We did need to stock up the freezer as we had very little meat left and I did suggest canvas shoes for the kids but we came home with four pairs of wet shoes, four pairs of canvas shoes, two tops, an all in one suit thing for dd 2, 3 boxes of grass seed, a bucket and spade, a cool box and a patridge in a pear tree. Ok not the partridge.

My bill was £184 and there was no biscuits, cakes or sweets in there. I'm having a bit of a lie down. Kids are very happy.

we got a dog and she walked him religiously for ooh let me think, about 6 weeks. me and dh now do all the walking, but I love it. it gets me out of the house away from the fuckers

Having a DS does not mean things don't go missing. Have not had my own hairbrush in years, hairspray gone, and DS 13 used all my expensive face serum/cleansers trying to rid his acne. Did it work? Did arse had to pay €60 for prescription and I can't afford to replace the gorgous organic face serum.....

He has just realised his feet are now big enough to fit into dh vans!!

I have dogs. 2 of. We got a puppy in August. DH wanted a spaniel and I said no, too mental. So we got a lab x. Somehow in February, we ended up rehoming a spaniel puppy and yes he is mental adorable. But, my kids are learning from having to train them and I think it will help them when they have children.
DH and I feel welcome at home now. There are always two little faces who are so delighted to see us and come and have a cuddle. Much like toddlers. They fight like toddlers too. And are a pain in the bum.
I've just got up and they haven't trashed the house! They learn quicker than the kids too.

yes, my dog is always pleased to see me. the kids never are, they don't even look up when I walk in. The dog doesn't answer back. he eats his dinner without complaining and picking the fucking vegetables out. He goes to bed when I tell him to. immediately. he also gets up on a morning when I call him. he is always up for going out for a walk with me. he never asks for money. he's happy just to sit next to me in the evenings. he doesn't demand anything.

I love my dog, he's sitting smiling at me now, while DD is at the other side of the room going oh my god, fucking moaning about something not going her way

Our Sapniel has just started smiling this weekend! We took him out for an epic walk (about 7 miles) and it was the first time I have seen him smile. He also learned how to hang his tongue out like a dog properly. They're now both at the window because the DC aren't home from school but DH will be home from work soon. This pleases them :)

I have just seen photos of DD on Facebook, she is out sailing in Weymouth. The weather is beautiful and she's smiling! Obviously didn't die of starvation then!

Lancelottie, if my lot showed that much commitment, I'd be tempted to give in. Secretly, I would love a dog but it would be me cleaning up after it, buying food, arranging care for holidays and I have enough to do dealing with the rest of them. DH can feed the cat but has never yet rinsed out the empty tin for recycling and DSS asked on Saturday where we kept the cat food as he's looking after the cat this week. We've had the cat for 4 years and he only asks now?!?

Wrt things going missing. I have to hide food and toiletries. Nothing is sacred in our house. I keep soft drinks in the car, biscuits in a living room cupboard, shampoo in my underwear drawer - all so DSS doesn't help himself.

Well we have had a stunner tonight!

I was saying how DD1 (17) seems to be finally coming out the other side......[hollow laugh] how wrong I was!

DD2 (13) is a bit of a bull in a china shop at the moment, if anything can be tripped over, dropped, knocked over or broken, she will trip, drop, knock or break it. She was carrying her dinner, a plate of pasta and sauce, from the kitchen, she tripped and the whole lot went flying, quite a lot of it hit DD1. She screamed the house down. Now I get that it was hot, DD2 got burned too, but she just sat there screaming "But it hurts! She burned me!!!!!!!", she didnt try to wipe it off, just say there. In the end I shouting at her to wipe it off and got a mouthful back about why was I having a go at her?!

DD2 was in tears, she was genuinely sorry and had hurt herself too but was trying to clear up instead of sorting her hand out, so I sent her upstairs to run cold water on it. DD1 was sent up too and was swearing at DD2 when the latter tried to apologise. Then I heard DD2 shout at DD1 "You are so vile to me, I tried to say I am sorry!!" "I dont care! You are so stupid!" "Well if I ever do it again I will make sure I try and get you in the face!"

Which I admit did make me laugh, which of course made DD1 go even more mental as I was clearly laughing at her and was blaming her for what happened and why wasnt I yelling at DD2? I pointed out that the only reason I had yelled in the first place was because she was just sitting there screaming the house down instead of helping herself and that I would be speaking to DD2 when I was ready.

So, no one is speaking to anyone now, or rather DD1 isnt speaking to anyone and DD2 and me cleaned the carpet between us.

Wine? Gin? I need something!!!

I have a stash of toiletries but DD has helped herself to my last electric toothbrush because hers "ran out".

It's battery powered, not disposable

However, we did receive a letter of achievement praising her effort at school. Suppose she has to put in in somewhere, she's been out all Easter holiday

We had a pasta spat tonight do, but on a much smaller scale
Somehow Dd2 managed to flick a piece of pasta at Dd1, causing her to get tomato sauce stains on her jumper. Dd swears it was an accident and said she apologised straightaway .Dd1 then throw it back at her head., resulting in an argument.
I was in the kitchen so just turned the radio up.

Dd is at her second consecutive skeepover
Can u Imagine the meltdown.
Last night I had to drop loads of people off in different places after the party. Then drive Dd the other side of town.
Dd2 who is just 3 and not been well was sat in the back of the falling asleep (at 7.30 arrrrgh) and DH was at work so could potentially have a toddler up half the night.
Dd2 suddenly realised shed left her phone at her dads 2 MILES IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.
I told her that I simply couldn't go back or Id literally die of driving!
Dd "you've ruined my skeepover now, I'll be the only one without a phone"
I just drove there and dropped her off quickly.
I consumed a fair bit of vodka upon my return!

I thought I was the only one who had to stash stuff otherwise it walks.

in my bedroom I have crisps, biscuits, Easter eggs, chocolate bars, money, make up, toiletries, special shampoos and creams, not to mention things like hairbrushes, nail files, scissors, hairsprays, perfumes. even pens. they're all tea leafs.

Grips is my main problem. I must have spent a fortune on them, but is there ever one when I need it? Of course there fucking isnt. I have said to H that if we ever move house we will need a skip for all the hair grips, bobbles and hair brushes that have been "lost".

There have been so many of them that I should be tripping over fucking mountains of the things, I cant imagine where they all are!

oh, and did I mention its a LOCKED bedroom

Just read the entire thread from start to finish and haven't laughed so much in ages. I have two of these creatures and every single thing posters have said rings true, bar one poster who I think is making their thread up.

When I say every single thing I mean everything on this thread has happened in my home in some shape or form, even the flying dinners.

Thanks for the laugh, much appreciated!!!

Quick question what the feck do they do in the shower for nearly an hour she went in for a quick wash just after eastenders sigh

I know MrsJ what would you actually do in a shower for that length of time. I have to resort to banging on the wall outside the bathroom for them to get out. What would you do in there????

As for the stuff that goes missing I have a lock on my wardrobe and I stash things in there like I am a prisoner. They loiter around my room on occasions and if DD sees it unlocked she riffles through the stuff. I only keep hair bobbles, underwear, chargers, make up, moisturiser, tights etc in there and only because it is so inconvenient when they 'lose' that kind of stuff in the hell holes that are their bedrooms.

I suppose I will miss them when they are gone ... or will I?

After a wash maybe a shave of the legs im lost

I have turned the shower off at the fuse box before now then pleaded ignorance

I keep all the goodies in the boot of my car ! Enough that there is always enough for one round of packed lunches , so at least a six pack of crisps , ditto biscuity things , and some bottles of drink . Plus a cool box in my tack room with a couple of blocks of cheese in . And the chocolate .

DS3 has been a positive pleasure today . Willing , cheerful , did his chores without asking and handed over one of his Easter eggs entirely of his own volition when the dog wolfed DD2's to her dismay . I am suspicious ....

late to this but yes!
mine (17 dd) had a massive tantrum yesterday because the takeaway I was paying for wasn't what she wanted, we were having Indian, she wanted a kebab her argument was she will only eat Korma vair vair ungrateful young lady.
