This is gross, please don't read on if you are easily groased out...
Ok so me and teenage aon sat watching tv, and suddenly the unmistakable sound of him blowing his nose.... over an inserted finger..... which i know will go into his mouth -after inspecting the contents
I dont even have to glance his way to check hes definitely doing that
So the same conversation kicks in
Me: "stop that now, if you need to blow your nose get a tissue"
GTS: Why?
Me "because its gross and disgusting and I've raised you better, now go wash your hands"
Today though, it was different, not the grunt and complaining about soap and water i have become used to. Today i heard:
GTS: "I am helping the environment and making it healthier"
Me "how do you figure that one"
GtS: because i am not expelling bacteria into the environment to infect others and I am destroying the source of any infection with my stomach acid



Am I the only mother who struggles with such a GTC and please share your horror stories so I know I am not alone
aibu to evict him from my home and not let him returrn until he learns not to be ao gross?
There is a silver lining, apparently his dad also tells him to stop it cos its gross ... finally something we agree on
