To want the lounge, to lounge in ?

[bungabungaboo]

All my kids have desks in their bedrooms but for some reason my son insists on doing his homework, and currently his revision, in our lounge.

We have one TV and it is in the lounge

I have been at work all day and coming down with a cold too

AIBU to want to sit in the lounge and relax not have to listen to him revising in the only room I can relax in? !

He is thirteen and doing end of year exams

Just boot him out! Quicker than coming to AIBU

Just go 8n, put the tv on and relax. If he moans point him to his bedroom

Nice idea, but my 'd' h is sitting with him and helping him revise

TBH it's better than him being in his room and online rather than revising. Can you make a space for him or is there anywhere else downstairs he can work?

The kitchen
The 'front' room - where his drum set and lego reside

I’d just be happy that my DS was happily revising! Can you use your phone/iPad/tablet and shove some headphones in, or go for a relaxing bath or something?

Just tell himself and Dh to go to his bedroom or the kitchen.

I am happy, just peri menopausal and grumpy

Happy he is revising

It is good that your dh is helping him but I get a sense that it is a little 'performance parenting' ?

Like dh will help him but you must watch and not relax whilst he is doing so!

No I wouldn’t be annoyed at all, I’d be happy he was revising

Honestly not performance parenting!

He has been revising for weeks

His sister is upstairs getting on with her gcse 'exams'

When will it be over

Fair enough, headphones & iPad then ;-)

I will surrender and go for a bath 😜

Get a telly in your bedroom. I know its a big MN no no but I honestly love leaving my teens to it and getting into bed early to watch TV and eat cereal for tea.

shine14 we had one

I put it downstairs in the 'front' room where it has stayed turned off ever since

Where I am they want to be 😁
