The most annoying habit your Uni refugee has ...

[Besswess88]

I’ll start.

So he’s been pretty good bless him, shit situation etc not knowing when he’ll be going back.

Using bowls that we don’t normally use because the rest are fermenting in his room.

Blocking the washing machine got 3 days with his washing, then handing it out over mine which is drying making my clothes and the room he has hung it in absolutely stink.

😭😭

Where did your fresh washing come from if his had been in the machine for 3 days?

@Twistered

Wtf are you on about? Your threads probably going to be reported and deleted. What's even the point?

WTAF?

I thought it was a great thread title!

@MNHQ I do not consider this thread spam!

Does anyone have a link to the cat thread?[/quote]
cat thread is here

Totally normal vent. I'll join in.

Nocturnal, untidy, willing to help but always "forgets". Mine has gone back now, and frankly I needed the rest.

Eating separately from the rest of the family. This means the kitchen is never clean, sink and dishwasher are always full. Brushing teeth in the kitchen for some really bizarre reason.Sitting in my chair and refusing to leave it, having really lengthy zoom and teams calls and thinking you can condemn the entire household to total silence for hours.

Mine has gone back thank goodness. He returned just before Christmas, still recovering from covid a few weeks before. He announced he had no sense of smell still so I would need to tell him if he smelt. When I did tell him he smelt he went off in a rage saying I was unkind to him !

Does that not make you really sad? I'd be devastated not to see my daughters for 6 months (we haven't hit the teens yet though!)

I'd like to submit my refugees moments:
Randomly deciding at 2am to make noodles and brownies just because (and not sharing the baked goods)
Eating a whole (1kg) block of cheese as a snack!
Appearing in the living room at 9pm,watching tik toks loudly while snoozing on the sofa 🙄

But
She's home and she's safe and it's a really sucky time for them so I'm channeling my zen

@Griselda1
Hahahahaha

"Good day" has actually killed me stone dead 🤣🤣🤣

You're all BU, mine has gone back and I miss him

I only remember the good bits when he's not here

@rossclare

It gets easier to separate yourself from them as they become older.

Saying that I haven’t seen my DD and DS since Xmas day and I do miss them.

Blimey, what with this thread and the 'boy' licking his own nipples, we seem to have gone collectively crazy on here this week. Lockdown is getting to us. I agree that students are mainly smelly, messy things. I console myself that my daughter's many festering experiments with unwashed crockery in her room have at least led to a scientific career rather than a terrible disease.

Well this wins the award for best thread of 2021 already.

This is funny, but no, the cat nipple one had me howling with laughter.

I read the title as something annoying that your Uni was doing so I'm glad I didn't comment.

No. You wont be devastated at all when they are older. Yoy will be glad of the break as the emotional demands are so much more. And.. they have better comebacks and arguments. But teenager hugs are deffo better than toddler hugs because they are so rare.

Because I just wanted to have a laugh about it.

Clearly we discuss things and I am supportive and I love him [/quote]
This is clearly my issue and yours/ other Mumsnetters sense of humour are lost on me....as you were!! :D

Just read the cat thread and chuckled all the way . I read it as if it was the son too 😂

I thought you were a uni student sharing with a refugee and being racist!

We're laughing about how some posters have misunderstood the OP.

God knows why someone would report the thread for spamming.

Can he lick his own nipples though?

The Good Day was amazing. I actually snorted. It’s due a come back surely? Must remember to say it next time I angry flounce .

My DD phones roughly weekly and we have a long chat - sometimes long enough that by mutual consent we take a wee break. We had her for 3 months in the summer and she'll be back this summer... before starting a job and becoming a Proper Adult. (but she looks about 12 when she's in bed warm and tousled. Still my baby.)

I have one refugee too, DD19. Not going to lie it is lovely and frustrating in equal measure.

One post uni pre moving into flat.
It’s the complex stir fries every lunchtime. Three chopping boards, bowls, ramekins of siracha mayo, metal utensils in my sauté pan. slithers of chopped vegetables in the clean dishcloth.

I am sorry if my premature response derailed your thread a wee bit op.

And good day
