I took my daughter out around our shopping area the other day and she doesnt really like walking so to keep her motivated we count her steps. So were walking up a narrow path shes holding my hand bear in mind shes only two and there is four boys rangeing from 14-16. And too my amazement two of them moved out off our way i said thanks boys and me an dd carry on walking saying one two... Ect and i hear one of the boys starts imitating my words and voice (squeaky. And girly) i turn around hes there smirking like a twat and his mates sniggering i said im my most imature voice " look dd even you can count better than them little boys" they soon shut up. Anyone else had similar happan and actually shut them up??

I meant when you thanked them. They hadn't done anything at that point had they? Unless I read it wrong.

I expect the one who mimicked you is the knobhead of the group. There's usually one. The others think less of them for being a knobhead, really.

armpitz · 28/03/2017 20:07

Blimey OP, I hope no one ever actually insults you! Grin

Jaffacakecake1234 · 28/03/2017 20:07

*Therealpooltroll.. Ahh i see what you mean and stil theirs no need to be arsy i did thank them after all thought to my self aw how nice koff them then they started...

TheRealPooTroll · 28/03/2017 20:09

No. No need for them to be arsey. I wouldn't give it another thought. They just proved that they are little boys. The one taking the mick anyway.

doublesnap · 28/03/2017 20:13

It's not typical of any of the teenage boys that I know. I expect the two that moved were getting a bit of a ribbing from the other two, not that it makes it acceptable of course.

I've seen adults behave worse to be honest. I've only come across mostly lovely teens over the years. I think teenagers get a bad rep and are hugely underrated as a species due to their tendency to hang in large groups.

Worst behaviour was walking with my two DD's. Crossed a side road and the other side of the road was four guys outside a pub, there was a bin on the edge and parked cars so we couldn't get past without saying excuse me. I said excuse me please. One man stepped aside, apologised and waved us through. Another said something and I turned round and said 'sorry?' and he replied 'I said, you are a fucking cunt and then hit me so hard across the face that I literally lifted off the ground and was slammed into the pub wall'.

Police drove past seconds later and I flagged them down. He was arrested and charged and I later found out that he had previous for glassing a woman with an ashtray.

So a teenager taking the piss slightly would just make me laugh and say 'Oh bless, do you need to take your socks off after you get to 10?' and then walk off.

Jaffacakecake1234 · 28/03/2017 20:19

To be fair i have nothing against the other boys i guess they where just being silly laughing the "mocker" i thought was out of order.. And honestly im not someone who uselay says stuff back nut when it comes to setting an example to my dd im one to do something would never want her to just shut up and feel embarrassed. Some people may disagree but its each to their own

I love that someone believes there's no such thing as cheeky big boys in France Grin.

These little oiks have always been around, always will be, and are probably to be found in every country in the world. They're so funny they just can't keep it in, you see.

Doyouwantabrew · 28/03/2017 20:27

Op with respect if a teenage boy * made you feel ashamed while teaching your young child to be confident while walking you really need to get a grip.

And yes your dd will one day be s teenager and will most defiantly say and do stupid things just like you did and we all did.

Those saying 'my child wouldn't do this' no they probably wouldn't but you can bet your bottom dollar they are snd have been totally daft and stupid another way.

have their morals straightened out interesting. You have no experience of having teenagers yet op but trust me on this the Ines who are so well behaved in front of parents and teachers can be in your words 'swines' to their peers. Also most teens grow up to be pretty dam
Good members of society despite being idiots at 14.

Still laughing over the 'French teenagers are so much better' comment. Priceless

Doyouwantabrew · 28/03/2017 20:31

However I think you handled them perfectly just don't take it personally. They may well be the nicest young men imaginable at 18, most are.

LouisevilleLlama · 28/03/2017 20:36

It's not just teenage boys I've had my fair share of of teenage girls that have behaved like "retarded Labradors" Hmm

Jaffacakecake1234 · 28/03/2017 20:39

*Doyouwantabrew... No i dont need to get a grip, thats my feelings i dont useally take stuff like this on i egnore but no why should i.. If you where in a meeting giving an important presentation and people started mimicing you in a childish voice this is a way of making somebody feel small, embarrassed and making them self feel big. Its just like what them boys did and yes it did make me feel emabrresed to help my little girl get more confident in her walking by saying numbets out loud and im extremely proud of myself for not letting it get to me. Im just discussing is on here but if you would let someone walk all over you then thats your problem and no i will raise my child to respect people think thats the problem here oh teenagers will just be teenagers if you have this attitude thats when you get teenagers who are damb right rude!

I was extemely well brought up, and mild mannered, and I can still recall in my teenage years being somewhat involved in several bits of mildly anti-social behaviour, mainly towards other bus commuters...and maybe your dd will too. It's strength testing, innit.

armpitz · 28/03/2017 20:41

Damb right op

Jaffacakecake1234 · 28/03/2017 20:42

Yes armpitz thats what i was looking for a damb rightGrin

Backingvocals · 28/03/2017 20:44

Yeah that's crap. No it's no biggie but it's also boys trying to put you in your place - silly voice, unimportant person. You can bet they don't try that when a larger, stronger man walks past.

MissGoggins · 28/03/2017 20:44

Doyouwantabrew thank you, saved me five minutes by writing exactly what I was thinking!

Good on you OP!

I had one a few months back when this craze of celebrities standing dead still while being filmed was going on (can't remember the name now!)
Had a knock on the door at about 7pm when it was dark and a teenage lad about 15/16 was stood there with his head down and his arm up as if he was knocking on the door..asked him a few times what he wanted and he just continued to stand there for ages... 3yr old DD came to the door and asked what is the boy doing so I just replied that he was being a silly little boy with nothing better to do and once she was back in the room I told him to get lost (not so politely!) and slammed the door in his face.
It really annoyed me because DH was on nights so I was in for the night with DC alone and it left me feeling on edge and DD still asks if its "the scary boy at the door" every time she hears an unexplained noise outside Angry

ImsorryTommy · 28/03/2017 20:52

I really couldn't muster up a shit to give about what teenagers do around me unless abusive or criminal. It definitely wouldn't make me feel embarrassed. Why would it?

Jaffacakecake1234 · 28/03/2017 20:59

bettyobrley thats awful hope your dd is okay

JustSpeakSense · 28/03/2017 21:01

I find it hard to understand why you got so upset by this. You will own your own teenager one day, good luck 😉

Jaffacakecake1234 · 28/03/2017 21:06

I wouldnt say im so upset i just think he was a little prick. It makes me laugh how people are saying youll have your own teeager one day.. Ive always said i will never have my dd be disrespectful and some of these posts are making me even mors determined. So thank you
