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.

Apparently ejaculating roughly 21 times a month helps protect against prostate cancer. Maybe theyre just health conscious :p

Ahhhhhhh I have heard lots about this lately!!!!

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 18/08/2017 08:10

I take it you've never seen a teenage boy's socks and towels before they hit the washing machine

Fortunately I think ds would find that as revolting as I do!

You can do a cross stitch sampler with and embroider it nicely.

We have rainwater tanks for our house water, thank goodness I don't have boys. Have a teenage DD though, and she is bad enough in the shower, if she takes too long we can always turn the hot tap on in the kitchen...that stops her soon enough.

Cailleach666 · 18/08/2017 08:31

No water meters here- my teens can use as much as they like.

Maireadplastic · 18/08/2017 08:54

Cailleach- it's not necessarily water metres that dictate our water use!

LorLorr2 · 18/08/2017 09:07

As a PP said they could genuinely be standing under the hot water enjoying it because it's hard to get out, and having no awareness of water wastage! Halo

Sounds like a sticky age to deal with though, shudder

WaxOnFeckOff · 18/08/2017 09:18

DS caused an ant infestation in our holiday villa with a wank tissue in his drawer. I wish he'd just used the shower (or put the tissue in the bin).

I'm buying a shower timer just so we can all get out the house in the morning. I genuinely think it's mostly just enjoying the relaxing hot water though.

gingergenius · 18/08/2017 09:18

This thread has me crying with laughter!!!! Thankyou! Itchy wanksocks!!!!! 😂😂😂

What then?

SherbrookeFosterer · 18/08/2017 14:35

At least your teenage boys use a shower!

LogicalPsycho · 18/08/2017 14:44

There's 5 people in my house.
Me, DH, 2 teenage DC and 1 child.

I've never actually asked, but estimate that 80% of my house are wankers Grin

Geordie007 · 18/08/2017 14:48

Lightheartedly!!
I only wish my DS would go to the bathroom. I have found the crustiest socks stashed all over his room, and he doesn't even seem to be embarrassed about it when I tell him to use loo roll and flushitawayfortheloveofgod!!!

TurquoiseOwl98 · 18/08/2017 14:53

What I hate about this thread is that everyone assumes only teenage boys masturbate -eye roll- Confused

TurquoiseOwl98 · 18/08/2017 14:56

No one like women stereotypes, but man stereotypes are fine? Hmm the assumption that a boy can't be exfoliating, etc.

LogicalPsycho · 18/08/2017 16:32

Turquoise my comment included a myself Grin

Equally I think teenage girls are doing the exact same as teen boys are i think everyone does it Grin

Skylander01 · 18/08/2017 22:01

A "wanking rota!" 😂😅😍 reinstated- so funny! Give them a nice little prize whoever sticks to their rota the best! Maybe "stcks" wasn't the best word to use!

CoughLaughFart · 18/08/2017 22:25

I'm anti-pornography, so I'd be pleased as punch to see that a teen DS was wanking in the bathroom, where there's no chance of porn being used.

Yeah, because there's zero chance they're at it with a jazz mag while leaving the water running to cover the noise Hmm

TurquoiseOwl98 · 18/08/2017 22:35

No chance of porn being used? Grin you do realise most teens bring a phone into the bathroom...

DorisDangleberry · 18/08/2017 22:37

iPhone 7s are waterproof. So shower/porn combo ahoy

Carriecakes80 · 22/08/2017 09:19

Lmao, yes, like that will do anything! lol. They'll probably use the sign as target practise!!!

Better than crusty socks n tissues under the bed! In fact, I might put a sign up saying "Please do ALL w&^king in the shower, as Mumsy is getting pee'd off at hearing your squeaky bunkbeds going at it like billy-o at 3am!

DooRight · 25/08/2017 16:03

try a 20 minute wank shower - followed by 10 minutes recovering on his bed listening to Spotify - and making his mother late for work EVERY MORNING for 2 years... - "Leave him, go without him" never worked, because she never would - and he knew it.. - no longer my problem (TG)

BabyAndBunny · 25/08/2017 16:09

Are they not just showering - I'm in the shower for 30mins plus without any misbehaviour!

Sometimes I have a sit down under it and just enjoy the water.

Maybe turn the washing machine/kitchen tap on and give them a good shock with the cold water 😂
