Lol at it being his own mum Madame :o that really did serve him right didn't it?

maybebabybee · 27/01/2016 09:12

I'm a feminist and I don't find this note particularly offensive. I'd take quite extreme pleasure in making my DC squirm about it though.

But I have a very puerile sense of humour.

Xmasbaby11 · 27/01/2016 09:14

That's disgusting.

Owllady · 27/01/2016 09:29

Best thing about having teens maybebaby, making them squirm

We received a letter from school complaining about what my son did in his re class with a bit of work he was supposed to be completing.

It was typical 12 year old boyish humour in which he described one of our exalted figures as a rafe and a half and two pubic hairs. The letter was extremely po faced which made me laugh all the more. Course we had to adopt the schools stance but the fact that I kept the paper and now 20 odd years later we still have a giggle about it, I think he knew we'd let this one off pass. He did his detention and that was the end of it.

He's a normal thirty year old father of three and still has his impish sense of humour thank god. In fact it runs in all of us come to think of it.

He 'll be fine!

Ah the minds of teenage boys. I have a 14 and a 12.....both very clever but prone to talking absolute shite and laughing at inappropriate things.

SanityClause · 27/01/2016 09:38

Ah, banter!

That's what we used to call "guys telling jokes about rape".

RonniePickering · 27/01/2016 09:38

The dirty little bastard. It'd be up for the next time his friends call round.

BrianCoxReborn · 27/01/2016 09:45

The humour here isn't the jizzing cock picture or the words. It's the fact it was never intended to be seen by the mum, but as a wind-up friend to friend. So the embarrassment factor is amusing.

It wouldd be most bizarre if a group of (approximately) age 30 and upwards women had similar sense of humour to teenage boys.

I had a genuine crush on a friend's dad when I was 14. Pre text, my other friend and I would write notes to each other and the things I had written! I was going to marry him when he split with his wife, we would have a baby together. Oh the embarrassment had he ever read it Blush

What's worse, I'd completely forgotten about my crush until I discovered my notes a few years ago in a box in my parent's loft.

They were burned hastily.

Said "dad" and his wife (who he never dumped) are godparents to my children and I love them both immensely. No physical attraction involved anymore teenage hormones being firmly in the past

Sallystyle · 27/01/2016 09:50

If my teens friend wrote that note I'd be having a stern word with him next time I saw him. not funny.

CwtchMeQuick · 27/01/2016 09:51

'I am very well thank you Simon, how is YOUR mum?'

OP, I'd stick it on the fridge Grin

Pipistrella · 27/01/2016 09:53

Oh jeez that's foul.

All I can think is that this lad has a promising future as a sun reading, white van driving, leering at everyone, tradesperson.

I wouldn't accept it from an adult male so really I think I'd be avoiding this creature from now on.

Bleeeee

LucilleBluth · 27/01/2016 09:54

SanityClause. Rape, really, don't be ridiculous. Have you any experience of teenage boys, I was a teenage girl and used to draw jizzing cocks (don't type that very often) and talk utter shite with my friends........all professional mothers in our late 30's now.

Latindancingofficewitch · 27/01/2016 09:57

I don't go down pockets unless I'm washing things. It was written in the washing instructions label.

SanityClause · 27/01/2016 10:00

I have two teenage DDs, Lucille, although my DS is a little younger.

I have no issue with the drawing.

It's the objectification of women I'm unhappy with.

My DDs have to live with this shit constantly. I'm appalled that women, in particular, find it in any way acceptable.

maybebabybee · 27/01/2016 10:01

Likewise! I am 26 now and still partial to drawing a jizzing cock to be honest...

This. And this again. And yes, I do have a teenage son.

Why is there no crying of laughter emoticon on mn?!? Would perfectly express how much I just laughed at this post right now :D :D :D

SomewhereInbetween · 27/01/2016 10:08

** Grin Grin Grin (because obviously even if there was one I wouldn't know how to use it...)

ZanyMobster · 27/01/2016 10:08

This is typical teen stuff, anyone who thinks otherwise is very naive. Doesn't make them 'sun reading, white van driving, leering at everyone, tradesperson' in the future. How ridiculous. A complete over reaction here.

Doesn't mean it is ok, I would of course have serious words with my teen DSs if they did this but it really isn't anything out of the ordinary to do it in the first place.

I remember at 14 my friends and I writing letters to each other saying what we wanted Robbie Williams to do to us (gross). We would never have actually done those things (with anyone) and it was just stupid teen stuff. We are all very normal professional people with families now.

bkgirl · 27/01/2016 10:11

Jee, I would be worried one of the newspapers would pick it up (little to report on since the hacking stopped) and identify you!!! ;)

BertrandRussell · 27/01/2016 10:12

It's not the behaviour of the teens concerned that particularly bothers me (although I would hope for better) -it's the reaction of the adult women on this thread that makes me feel a bit dispairing...........

Brightnorthernlights · 27/01/2016 10:14

Am I misreading this? Haven't you just put your surname out there, with a first name also quite obvious from your username and you have a teenage boy? Or have I got this all wrong and you are not Mrs H??

Throwingshade · 27/01/2016 10:19

To whoever asked me upthread rather angrily why I thought it could possibly someone I know...well given that the Mrs H I know is a mother of a teenage boy, I really don't think it's the biggest jump in the world that she could be on Mumsnet.

And personally I wouldn't post anything identifying or embarrassing about my kids or myself on here, no.

But...uh...ha ha ha ha...my sides are splitting...this is hilarious...blah.
