..to expect my 15 year old son NOT to be wanking in front of MY computer in MY living room in the middle of the day when I walk in the front door with his younger siblings???!

Before you all say it's healthy.. it's normal... I know, I KNOW! But it is NOT healthy or normal to have to wonder now what DD (9) is thinking and how the hell to broach the subject with her!!

Fortunately DS (7) has SN was oblivious but DD at the very least, saw him sat there with his jeans round his ankles! We all did! He didn't even make any move to pull them up, I suppose he would have had to expose himself in the process. He jsut said "sorry.. sorry" and waited for me to leave the room so he could run upstairs!

It would have been much easier to have just daughters I swear. Why the HELL couldn't he go and have a wank on his bed! He KNEW we were due back at some point in the afternoon!

Obviously he is appalled and humiliated but as far as I can see he's brought this on himself. This is not the first time I've caught him red-handed; last time it was late at night on the sofa, whilst watching the "free ads" on the porn channels on the telly. On that occasion I said would you PLEASE not wank in my living room!! And certainly not when we're all walking around upstairs still having only just gone up! I was looking for HIS clothes he'd requested for the morning on that occasion.. like a sucker, while he played with it downstairs!

I have just been and shouted at him (rightly or wrongly; I'm angry, that gibes me a right I feel) that I don't want him to use MY WORK COMPUTER for that, even though it is a family computer in all other respects which is fine. But I really DON'T want that on the hard drive. And why the hell do men HAVE to so recklessly take advantage of the oh-so-freely available visual stuff.. can't they just use their imaginations??! (I shouted that at him too!)

I am shuddering that his bare arse has been on this very chair, and his (topically from a thread last night!) "penisy hands" been all over THIS mouse!

Ugh ugh ugh.

He needs to wank.. fine, but I don't see why I should have to keep catching him doing it!! I don't want it to be any of MY buisness but it seems I keep having to be "involved"! And I am SO cross that his younger siblings who are too young (perhaps thankfully) to know what he was doing, had to see him sat there like that!

Bloody men and boys.

Bless - definitely bake an apple pie for tea and then suggest you all watch American Pie afterwards

BloodyHell · 09/04/2008 16:40

Fio I KNEW you knew it was me.. we've had that convo TODAY remember! I am not going to bother assuming I am EVER "confidential" from those that know me well whatever name I'm using in future!

(Whatever will we do if DS2 and your DD DO decide they want to "get in on" when they're older??!!)

If you've told him and it still happens then it deserves a punishment or however you do this - it's not different from any other behaviour you don't want.

It's not about the wanking, it's about where and you have made this perfectly clear so punish him.

cestlavie · 09/04/2008 16:40

I'm sorry to, but god how funny and humiliating. If it's any consolation, the utter shame and embarrassment has probably resulted in his dick crawling several feet up inside his pelvic cavity so it's unlikely to be a problem you'll be dealing with again in the near future!

LilRedWG · 09/04/2008 16:40

YANBU btw, he does need to show some respect to the rest of the family. No suggestions more sensible that the apple pie though - sorry.

NorthernLurker · 09/04/2008 16:41

YANBU - I too am hugely relieved I only have girls!

Threaten to text his friends and tell them about it if he does it again! Or threaten to mention it the next time they come round. Or use the "your father and I always respect you when we are intimate, so would like the same from you. You wouldn't want to walk in on us would you?" That would REALLY gross him out!

MadameCh0let · 09/04/2008 16:43

I think you should tell him if it happens again you're going to make him watch you do the same! That was a brilliant suggestion.

It wasn't the situation that made me laugh as much as the way you described it. I think you should send that to a sunday paper it was so funny. That'd be nice for him wouldn't it? To be famous for wanking.

BloodyHell · 09/04/2008 16:43

I said something rather inappropriate; I told him "I really don't care if you want to spend an entire 24 hours with your dick in your hand, as long as its a 24 hours which are NOT shared with me and your younger brother and sister.."

He looked a bit shocked. I don't usually talk like that in front of him. (Obviously I suppose.)

DH has just called him down to set the table. He has not arrived.

What punishment? Am calmer now. Just want to forget it all, but I DON'T want it happening again; it's just out of order!

No access to internet for a week??

BloodyHell · 09/04/2008 16:46

Criket Madamecholet, I wasn't trying to be funny - I was LIVID! This thread has calmed me down though.

I think I WILL say "how would you like it if we were to make love on your bed next time you're out? And furthermore, how would you feel catching us and seeing us do it?" I think that might drive the message home a bit better.

MadameCh0let · 09/04/2008 16:48

I think the punishment would be to tell him FioFio knows! and might tell her dd.

Would this put your dd off the wanker Fio??

(sorry bloodyhell!)

am I the only one thinking at all the 'glad I have girls' comments

girls masturbate you know

BloodyHell · 09/04/2008 16:50

LOL no no... it's DS2 (7) that Fio's DD loves. They are both the same age and have similar SNs. I really really don't think Fio's DD needs to know about this!

He would be very very humiliated if he knew Fio knew! Or that I had posted about it on MN. I am not mean enough to tell him that.

OP posts:
MadameCh0let · 09/04/2008 16:50

Yes say that now while it's fresh in his head, and then never bring it up again...

BloodyHell · 09/04/2008 16:51

Twiglet, perhaps I am wrong, but a teenage girl's urge to masturbate (if she has one, not all teenage girls do, either is normal) does NOT generally result in her taking such stupid risks about getting caught. I am pretty sure about that.

Penisy hands. Yuk. Wish I hadn't seen that thread last night now.

And I am avoiding touching my mouse.

OH! Ok scrap that idea!! I thought fio had a teenage daughter.

Make sure he washes his hands before he sets the table!!!

DH has set the table. DS is lurking in the back garden now. Not sure how he got out there. Hasn't walked past me.

I don't really want to face him over dinner.
