To put big No Wanking signs in my bathrooms?

Because I can think of no other earthly reason why DSs (all 16+) would need to spend upwards of 20 minutes under the shower. They are definitely not depilating as they'd all give Mr Tumnus a run for his money.

My 20 year old ds takes up to an hour to shower.
I don't ask why! Grin

PollyFlint · 16/08/2017 12:37

Perhaps you could build them an en-suite wank room.

BlurryFace · 16/08/2017 12:37

DH used to leave his room an utter pigsty as a teenager, until his mum snapped and tidied it while he was at school. Apparently coming back home to neatly stacked wank mags on the bedside table was a real wake up call.Grin

Actually under the running water romany? Don't fancy your bills.

maybe a rota would help
a wanking rota?

Dragonflycushion · 16/08/2017 12:40

I like her style Blurry. Did she put a pretty box of tissues next to the pile?Grin

I think they just like standing under the hot water too. DS2 spends ages in the shower but all evidence suggests he does his wanking elsewhere. If he was doing that in the shower too then he'd be needing a visit to the opticians.

Sorry I meant

They are entitled to privacy.

Dragonflycushion · 16/08/2017 12:43

That's a splendid idea Dum. I might suggest it at dinner tonight. There are enough days in the week for 2 wanks each. Do they give it a rest on Sunday or does everyone get a go? Hmm. Tricky. What's the general wetiquette in that situation I wonder.

Dragonfly, probably, knowing her. Very matter of fact, my MIL. Much of DH'S life has involved putting his fingers in his ears while MIL and SILs have been discussing men and their...attributes.

TheNaze73 · 16/08/2017 12:46

Dragon, 2 wanks a week???
Most blokes, I'd suspect up to their mid 30's are cracking one off at least 3 times a day.
Good luck Wink

WhollyFather · 16/08/2017 12:47

Laiste at that sort of age, 20 minutes is probably 3 or 4 times. Then a 2 minute wash to tidy up.

marmiteisgod · 16/08/2017 12:47

to be fair, I can spend 20 minutes in the shower (and do often) doing nothing at all other than hair & body wash, just enjoying the time to myself not a euphemism

they might just be getting a bit of peace and quiet, or especially in winter, just enjoying a shower also not a euphemism

:D

SaucyNoBrainer · 16/08/2017 12:48

I feel sick now.

Why would your boys wanking CROSS YOUR MIND

vasseve1 · 16/08/2017 12:49

What is it with some mothers with boys that have to know all their nooks and crannies it gives me the creeps. Leave them alone.

SaucyNoBrainer · 16/08/2017 12:49

I'm not hard of thinking. It's not a very good thread

Well that'll go some way to explaining where all the jeffin bog roll disappears to in this house then.
It's a pity it can't be put to good use if they're churning it out in industrial quantities - waste not want not and all that.

If you don't like the thread then please find one you do like. You'll be much happier. Honest.

Twenty minutes sounds like a quick shower compared to DP. He would spend an hour and a half in there if he could. And he's definitely not wanking, he just stands in a trance with the water falling on his head. It drives me bonkers! He was the same as a child according to MIL - running himself baths at age 3.

SaucyNoBrainer · 16/08/2017 12:53

Wink no

SaucyNoBrainer · 16/08/2017 12:54

Okay tell me, what about it is funny.

I honestly sit here on my lunch break waiting for education. Not joking.

How did your sons wanking cross your mind enough to post online.

Mummyoflittledragon · 16/08/2017 12:54

Should I interject - with reference to many annoying threads - I'm so pleased to have a girl? Because we all know girls wouldn't do anything like that. (Lighthearted) . Wink 🙈🙉🙊

Dragonflycushion · 16/08/2017 12:55

And anyone wanting to goad a response that isn't light hearted, post/goad/insult away - I'm not biting.
Fill yer boots.Grin
