He was a lovely old age, mind. But it's a tough one with trying to be 'up' for the teens.

Anyway that's why I love and appreciate MN. You get a sense of community somehow (if you can ignore the trolls and knobbers) that is kind of fucking lovely.

MrsJayy · 20/02/2016 18:39

liney so sorry about your dad ((hug))

Sparklingbrook · 20/02/2016 18:40

i'm sorry to hear that Liney Flowers I can imagine trying to be 'up' for the teens is hard, and just the general having to get on with stuff.

Sorry to hear about your dad Liney.

springscoming · 20/02/2016 19:27

Liney sorry to hear about your Dad. It's shit no matter when they go - good old age or not. I hope you can find space to have your grieving when you need to. It's so important not to squash it down so it bites you on the arse later.

LineyReborn · 20/02/2016 19:39

Thank you.

DioneTheDiabolist · 20/02/2016 19:52

After reading some of the teens stuff ,I have decided that DS is not going to be allowed to grow up

LineyReborn · 20/02/2016 20:06

And this is exactly why I don't want bits of MN to break off to 'elsewhere'. Just the last few hours here have been quite wonderful for me.

Oh and teenagers - if Maryz writes the book, I'll be buying it.

Sparklingbrook · 20/02/2016 20:09

I am back. Teenager delivered. He will let me know if he needs a lift back or not shortly.

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 20/02/2016 20:11

Oh Liney im sorry about your dad
Mine died 3 years ago on my son's 8th birthday Sad
Teenagers ye gods their self absorption is breathtaking
At least ds1 now drives whicb helps a lot.

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 20/02/2016 20:12

He does have his uses

Christinayangstwistedsista · 20/02/2016 20:13

Please write a book, I have three years to prepare

< slurps more wine as 10 year old Ds is safely tied to his ps4>

BIWI · 20/02/2016 20:14

Sorry to hear that Liney Flowers

MrsJayy · 20/02/2016 20:14

My youngest teen is 18 and has her first serious boyfriend she is in luv which means she is wandering about with cotton wool for brains there is no asking her anything atm

magimedi · 20/02/2016 20:15

Flowers Liney - so sorry to hear about your Dad.

I now have an adult DS - so no taxi-ing but the phone call with the excitement that PFGD has her first tooth!

So that needed Wine to toast the moment!

All things come...............

But I miss having a teenager around the place - send me yours for a long w/e anytime!

I really, truly do miss that time. It was fun.

southeastastra · 20/02/2016 20:16

right I haven't been back as I've been at work! anyhow this really wasn't meant to be goady just ill thought out (as alot of my late night ranty threads are). I do find some of the responses a bit OTT though and hurtful if i'm honest. an no I'm not on moldies.

My youngest ds3-16 loves a party these days. He's out tonight armed with 3 beers , the 'be careful' chat and a reminder to phone for a lift home later.

I'm on my tod tonight, watching Ant and Dec and sipping tea, I did find a stash of Christmas chocolate though < fist pump> .

Sparklingbrook · 20/02/2016 20:17

So what did you mean by 'more confidential'?, and why late night ranty threads?
