..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.

I would say you shouldn't say anything else at all

a couple of looks and some meaningful pauses in conversation should compound it enough

BloodyHell · 09/04/2008 16:59

You don't think the "parents shagging on his ded" shocker,casually dropped into a convo, now I've calmed down, would round the situation off Twiglett?

I thought about the girls comment too..what difference does that make?

suey2 · 09/04/2008 17:02

ROFL at this thread. I would put a password on your laptop IIWY

Blandmum · 09/04/2008 17:02

Wrap up a box of Kleenex mansize

NorthernLurker · 09/04/2008 17:03

I'm assuming that it is marginally less likely that I will walk in on my girls in that situation than it is that my friend will walk in on one of her three sons. Women are just more discreet If I'm proved wrong in a few years I'll be sure to let mnet know

SueBaroo · 09/04/2008 17:06

Well, girls tend to be a little less ... obvious... in their personal-space-adventures, don't they? Anatomical differences, and all that...

CrackerOfNuts · 09/04/2008 17:07

Oh this thread is hilarious.

Mind you, I might change my mind about that when Ds is a teen, I mean he has a wanker for a father soit will be in his genes

Cadbury · 09/04/2008 17:07

Oh bless you Bloody! I'd be feckin livid too. I'm really not looking forward to my ds as a teenager.

FrannyandZooey · 09/04/2008 17:08

If anyone has walked in and found their teenage dd wanking in the sitting room in front of the laptop, I've yet to hear about it

sorry for your situation, BH
it is inconsiderate of him not to make sure his wanking habits are kept private

sparklesandnowinefor9months · 09/04/2008 17:08

ROFL at this thread

it is soooo funny but i know that in a few years i shall probably be on here in the same situation......3 boys to go through this with

I think the sagging on his bed comparison is great one

geordieminx · 09/04/2008 17:09

Girls dont need to... there is always a spotty youf willing to help them out...

sparklesandnowinefor9months · 09/04/2008 17:10

sagging = shagging

NorthernLurker · 09/04/2008 17:10

GM - thanks a lot - hyperventilating now!!

MadameCh0let · 09/04/2008 17:10

lol at wanker your tea is ready. And I'm still chuckling away at penisy hands all over my mouse.!!!

Blandmum · 09/04/2008 17:11

Get him to wash the dishes after tea, and pointedly give him some marigold gloves

lizziemun · 09/04/2008 17:12

I hope you checked he washed his hands before setting the table .

Carmenere · 09/04/2008 17:13

I would call him a wanker at every opportunity. It will humiliate him into some respect for the rest of his family.

moondog · 09/04/2008 17:13

The claener in my uni hall of residence said she regulalry walked in on lads wanking to their Walkmans. (Twas a while ago natch.)

Hysterical thread.

geordieminx · 09/04/2008 17:16

tis the truth NL......

BloodyHell · 09/04/2008 17:16

He didn't set table. He slunk in and is still eating with eyes on plate at all times. I have left the table. I am not ingoring him but still cross about how inconsiderate he has been.

Cardy, really, girls just don't "recklessly wank" they don't! I'm not being sexist, or ignorant of feminine masturbation but upon consideration it seems a bit odd that anyone can't see the different between teenage male and female masturbation habits. So not sure why the [hmm

Girls would not sit in front of porn in the living room with their trousers round their ankles.

I agree that they are more discreet and do not need the visual stimualation. Plus I think they can see past the instant gratification to the 'what ifs' of being caught...
