“Child” home from Uni

[Besswess88]

Lighthearted (I love him).

My beloved son is home from Uni he is living here and he’s a lovely lovely boy, he’s 19 and will be going in Sep to flat share with his GF.

But OMG he’s developed some really fucking annoying habits.

Fine get up at 1pm, but please stop hoarding all the glasses in your room, there are only two of us here and there are no glasses, the tea towels/towel just need to be folded and placed on the radiator, not shoved down the back, how are you drinking 4 pints of milk day and not mentioning we are out of that (and bread) - when I work next door to a fucking huge Tesco and how, as a skint student has he managed to develop extraordinarily expensive taste in bloody food?!

Breathe.

You’ve made me feel better. DS due home Saturday after his final year. Just need him to get a job now!!

I've got 3 of the fuckers here.
For those at the conceiving stage, I recommend spacing your DC out to avoid this.

You see I feel I’m very lucky. My DS is just back from the first year of a Philosophy degree and He Knows Everything. About Everything. And is willing to share his knowledge in passing with those of us in the household less knowledgeable.

So getting up at midday is looking like a blessing in disguise, as is the very tiring vacation job.

- this is not a grin, rather a smile through gritted teeth.

@Blackhawkdown2020 yes, except when she was younger it was only food and soft drinks. Now it's alcohol as well

He is not a child, he is a man. Tell him to grow up.

He’s very sweet. My husband and I have just separated (not his dad) and he absolutely hated his guts so we are watching series on Netflix together that I have already seen 🤣

Next is It’s A Sin

I have 3 too - the middle one has finished his first year and is a bit chaotic, but he does have ADHD. If I tell him to do stuff, he goes and does it with no grumbles. Youngest one is off for their first year in September.

I did space them out, honest, but middle one is fostered so here I am. .

None of mine have an alcohol budget - middle one barely drinks, the two that are mine don't touch it at all because their dad was an alcoholic.

Poor 19 year old girlfriend doesn't know what she's in for in September....

Another to add today.

He has a large bedroom here which resembles a mixture of a squat come crack den.

We have a tiny porch (think Victorian Semi) he leaves five pairs of size 11 trainers in there, I can’t get in the fucking front door!! 😭😭😭😭
