What is your teenager sulking about today?

[CheeseyToast]

Mine is appalled that there’s no avocado for breakfast. Cue eye rolling, stomping, slammed door. Anyone else?

DD (14) has taken to coming down to breakfast on school mornings with her dressing gown over her school uniform to emphasise that we have made her up sooooo early. She had her head down on the breakfast bar this morning and would raise it to eat mouthfuls of breakfast in the manner of a consumptive Victorian heroine. She told me she was soooo tired because I had let her sleep too much over the weekend.

GetOffTheTableMabel you are most unreasonable not to be able to see that the right eyebrow is a hundredth of a mm lower than the left......you obviously just DO NOT CARE!!

We had a similar issue recently

Tawny - how do you manage to keep a straight face with that carry on?

Tawny

It’s as though they’re all drama school graduates

Mine is having a paddy cos my freezer is full of "shit he doesn't eat" and he can't fit his shopping in it.

Never mind that there are 3 other people living here that do eat fish fingers and vegetables !!

Mine asked me if we had fallen out, I said no I just wasn't putting myself out there and that if he wanted to talk I am all ears, but I am not actively seeking snarls, grunts, and indifference.

Seemingly I am a drama llama and so weird these days....

I wish I drank gin....

Ooh, I get the dressing gown over the uniform thing too. Despite the fact that the thermostat is set for 25 in the mornings.
(Plus huffing if there's no Tassimo hot chocolate and we have to have Powder)

I thought it was just my pet weirdo with the dressing gown thing.

Her 8 year old sister came home an hour early because she is not well. When DD16 came in from school and realised she was mightily put out. It was almost as if her sister had got ill and been sent home just to piss DD off.

Brilliant thread! Just read some out to my almost 16 year old DS who commented many were perfectly valid complaints....

That I've been inconsiderate and thoughtless as I've been in his room today and collected all his dirty clothes dropped in piles on his bedroom floor from the weekend and put them in the wash. ( as well as collected all the dirty festering plates, cups and glasses)

I should have realised he would want to come home from school today and step back into the dirty track pants and whiffy hoody. Instead he has the inconvenience of going into his wardrobe to choose a new clean outfit!

LOL, glad to see I am not the only mother of an exhausted dramatic waif. DH had actually made DD some breakfast and a cup of tea - dunno how he restrained himself from pouring both in her ear.

Thought of another one from last week..

DS15 - "I had to actually apologise to my science teacher for the fact that my dad turned up to parents evening looking like a tramp" cue stomping off. We burst out laughing!

This is because DH is sporting a relatively new beard (think Prince Harry) and was wearing a slightly crumpled shirt to parents evening. (I think DH actually looks quite sexy)

DS this morning - not happy that PE kit wasn't ready in the PE bag - it was washed, ironed and on a chair and only needed to be put in the bag.
DS tonight - he "has to do everything and is treated like a slave" - because I asked him to put his shoes away and close the lounge door and... he had to put the aforementioned PE kit in his bag this morning. I am clearly such a tyrant 😂😂

Oh God, oh God, I'm still trying to block this out.
I moved Dd schools earlier this year, had a thread on here and spent 6 months fighting to get her into the school, which btw she was desperate to go to.
First meeting with the Deputy Head and he asks Dd what she knows about the school and why she wanted to go there.
Dd answered, "I've never heard of this school before".
I almost died but had to style it out, that car journey home was not fun.
She loves her new school though and is doing brilliantly there, but ffs, what made her say that?

She has her mocks coming up and her school is so stuuuuupid for having a meeting one evening this week. (She has a point but they’ll all be in same boat).
Boy teen was soooo tired this morn as he stayed up too late watching I’m A Celeb!!

Pretty mild for them really.

This has made me feel so much better!

My DS is currently cross with me because he borrowed my hoodie yesterday, got it covered in mud and I had the audacity to wash it so it is now drying and not available for him. His own hoodie which he chose and I paid £30 for because it had the right logo is hanging up perfectly dry and ready to wear.

Oh I am sooooooooooo unreasonable.

How I dare I secure a tutor for him and seemingly I am even more unreasonable to expect him to attend.

FFS

I did point out that there are kids out there who would give their eye teeth for the opportunity, but seemingly that is just guilting him ..

Thank God I knocked the German one on the head.

DS who is no longer a teenager, but still acting like one thinks I am unreasonable because I expected him to tell me which train he will be getting home from Uni on Friday so I can pick him up from the station. He has known (ever since he announced he would come home for his birthday weekend) that we have to go out early evening work related) so he needs to get an early train. Apparantly that won't be possible as he's going clubbing with his mates on Thursday evening so can't get up early. And there was also a huff and a sigh when I told him the last bus back from town leaves at 18.30. He has a 4 hour train journey and we live 5 miles from the station at this end (with taxis as rare as hen's teeth). He said he'd get back to me - I'm still waiting!

I put myself out tonight and collected dd 17 from school so that she had 1 hour to get ready for work while I went to collect her brother. I asked her to hang up the washing to dry (mostly her stuff) as it would take a maximum of 5 minutes. I told her to be ready by 4.30 as she starts work at 5. When I got home at 4.25 she leapt off her phone - not only was she not ready but she had not hung up the washing. Then we had a chat about give and take being a better approach in relationships than take take take. I’ve withdrawn my taxi service for her to get to work tomorrow. She can get the 2 buses there (costing half her wages and taking forever) am I a mean old battleaxe??

Ohhh, I do now remember some legendary strops from DD1 some years ago when she was about 15 (she's 22 now).

For a variety of reasons, DD1 and DD2 went to different secondary schools. Sometimes during the very cold winter of 2010 we would get the situation where DD1's school was staying open, but DD2's school would close. That, of course, always went down like a lead balloon with DD1 (understandably, I suppose), and she didn't take it quietly.

I popped my head around the bedroom door and asked her and her friends if they were hungry.

DD because she had her GCSE taster day today "I got child development and I don't even fucking want to develop children".

Oh god, me me.....DS(16) has spent two hours stropping because I won't let him listen to blaring music whilst revising for his mocks....he literally came to me every fifteen minutes to moan, arggggggggggggggggggggggggggg, arsehole.

Dd sent a message saying 'mams a right stupid bitch' to me instead of her sister then panicked and sent me another text for her sister saying 'shit I sent a message to you calling mam a bitch now she won't give me £5 to go out'. Told her she should be more careful when texting.

I won't do his maths homework for him
