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?

*I was lucky

DS was moaning last week because he usually has to get a bus home from a photography club he attends but this time I collected him because his very pregnant friend had come along to see a display.
The bus stop is about two miles from her house and she's eight months pregnant of course I would collect them.

I had the temerity to comment on the love bites which appeared on his neck during the school day. He claimed they were bruises from playing rugby - only he's been off games for over a week.

Then made me swear not to say anything to DH.

Also because we are not having Dominos for supper.

He asks every day. I say No every day.

And he can't find his phone charger.

Thank you for starting this thread OP! Really has made me giggle and so happy you lot are enjoying your teens as much as me!

Because I've asked them to decontaminate their bedrooms so that our family friends who they love are coming for an action packed weekend I have washed hoovered ironed shopped for tickets for etc etc. It's SO unreasonable what they HAVE to do.
So glad I came on here. Not feeling like the only mum of teens on the world now xx

Phone charger has now been found.

But I didn't Bloody help him look, did I?

DD was asked to wash her plate. Shouted reply: 'God, do I have to spend the rest of my life washing up!!!'

That's the way I feel and I'm 37

I don't feel so bad a mother now reading all these lol . over the past two years I have had screaming because her socks feel wrong, her shoes were wrong, I put her clothes away, I didn't do HER homework for her and god help her if I tell her where something is and she cant find it !!, I swear I could get a neon arrow above it and she still wouldent see it lol

Dd moaned that she had to clean the litter trays again, ffs she only did it yesterday.
Well Dd the cats shit in them everyday, feel free to teach them to never shit.

Don't get me started on the coat thing, I hear the word coat, I want to put my head in the oven.

As a secondary school teacher, these have made me laugh. As a parent to a toddler and a baby, these have made me cry.....Is on really going to be this bad??

Christ my six year old sounds like this!

And Dd has (undiagnosed) PDA, it doesn't stop her being a normal whinging teen though.

Not mine, friends' 13 year old has had a huge strop because friend bought two gorgeous new chairs for the living room. Refusing to come in, let alone sit on them.

Dd13 door slamming tonight because she lost her pe kit today and I can’t replace it before her next lesson tomorrow. Trying lost property is not an option

Her eyebrows don't match

I think you must live in my house too😂

Fucking boyfriend hasn't rung her
They spent last night apart. (Teens at university are still teens)

Both dd's (16 & 13) had a strop earlier with me because I had the nerve to attempt to teach them how to iron their school blouses and then left them to it while I went in the shower. They managed to do five between them the whole time I was in the shower so I took pity on them and did the last three.

Both of mine have a fever, both are asleep. When they were little I used to worry when they have a fever, now it's nice to have a break from the moaning. p

We could all play Teen Bingo!

• complaining about WiFi
• lost charger/phone
• there is never anything to eat in this house
• dramatic minor accident (think screaming when toe is stubbed)
• all my friends stay up late/drink/ go to parties/ have boyfriend sleepover etc

What else could we add?

My 11yo (so not even a teenager) has not done her maths homework which she’s had all weekend to do and has to be tomorrow.

She’s written the first four pages of a novel quite similar to Oliver Twist about a poor orphan child whose life is utterly miserable. Coincidentally she shares a name with the heroine of this Victorian melodrama.

I should not have pointed out that she is hungry by choice for not eating her dinner, not because her evil foster family are trying to kill her by starvation and overwork...

I asked If he needed help with his homework. He jumped over the sofa, shouted he wasn't a baby. Slammed the door. Ran upstairs to run a bath. Yelled down the stairs once he had had a bath and done his homework he was going to bed because he's sick of it all. He's 12.

Lelleybells - they have nothing to wear. No matter that you took them sopping two days ago.

Had a massive strop because we asked him to feed the dog while we were at ds2's parents evening!
Text messages and phone calls saying he couldn't find the dog food, its the cupboard where it's always been kept! Also narked with us as we didn't answer/reply instantly as phones in silent till we came out!
Then full on stomping around the kitchen because we dared to ask to make his lunch for tomorrow before he was taken to scouts, he wanted to make it when he got back at 9-30!!
The joys

Nothing to eat in this house, yet this still open the fridge then hang off the door like food might magically appear.
Of course no food means no immediate snacks, but not fruit, fruit is poison.
