Obviously I did it just to spite my 15yr old

[Oollliivviiaa]

I broke the shower this morning.
Obiously I did it purely to spite my 15yr old and no one else could possibly be as inconvenienced as her by having to have a bath instead.
What things have you done on purpose purely to make life difficult for your teen (according to your teen)?

I ruined my teen's life (and Sunday morning) by having a very mild disagreement with DH.

Ruined DH's Sunday morning too.

Told them both to get a bleeding grip and got about my day.

My 15yo dd 'needed' a lift to her boyfriend's house today at 1pm.
Me being at work, and therefore unavailable to provide a lift, made me unreasonable.

She also wants her hair done. Which, if I don't work, I can't fund.

I remember when I was about 16 I went to the school disco and my mother said 'Have a good time' and I shrieked at the top of my voice; 'DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!!!!!'.

We still laugh about it.

I ruined 15 year old DD's life yesterday when I purchased own brand chocolate digestives for her and her friends to munch on!

I have ruined her life again today by waking her up at 10:AM and giving her a lift in to the city. I am the most unreasonable Mum ever waking her up that early, so I could pick up her fiends en- route and ensure they got to the cinema in plenty of time of time for a film starting at 11:15.

Oh and if looks could kill I would have been stone dead having dared talk to her friend's in the car!

Love it!

Our son was 12 and picked to play at county level in his sport.
I unfortunately shamed him by shouting 'come on name'
He stopped his game and came to me and said please don't
shout for me it's embarrassing.

I hope you have been able to heal from that ordeal?

My heart breaks for you!😉

I don't know if you meant to write "fiends" but it made my day and made me laugh way too loud! I hope your DD and her fiends have a great time at the cinema.

I made her lunch and expected to sit opposite her while eating.

I didn’t get the right wraps for lunch - which i obviously did on purpose as white wraps taste so disgusting 🙄

Nothing at all do with the the shop not having wholemeal so it was white or nothing

I did notice they have been eaten this morning so can’t have been that disgusting 🤷‍♀️

Ruined the whole weekend because of that…

Gotta love a teen

I hope you are planning on jacking your current job in tomorrow and switching careers immediately to one in corporate finance. It's the only reasonable thing to do.

My mum and grandma ruined my life at 16 by vindictively taking me shopping to buy me bras. God, I stomped around that high street in an absolute rage.

You ogre! Do you realise that nobody else in his entire class was forced to perform these unreasonable tasks? NOBODY! And they all get £200 a month pocket money and have McDonalds every night.

(He’ll laugh about it when he’s older, I promise!)

Not my first bra mind you, but I'd always bought them in the teen section of Etam prior to that and they wanted to get me good expensive ones.

I also bought a yellow car. DS2 is an adult but with autism/LDs and he finds my gorgeous bright yellow car MORTIFYING

Dp has ruined my life by buying a green car
Not just green,but the foulest shade of green ever known to man
He's very lucky I allow him to drive me to work and the shop
He talks to me while I have my hood over my head so nobody I know can see me
To make it worse,aaallllll my work colleagues and compete strangers have admired it and say its cool
I'm 47 next month

I ruined my sd's life once
We where in superdrug and I was buying her some make up (eye watering expensive make up) and I dared to pull out both my loyalty card AND bank card when I paid
Cue huge tantrum

My own dd was horrified when I said the word 'vagina'
She walked out of the house in horror

Ds once threw a paddy because his boxers where in the wash
The threadbare ones he gave me and I put straight into the machine and pressed 'start'
He had about 30 other pairs of other boxers but none where the pair that where going round the drum

I recently saw a bright yellow Kia picanto zipping around town and my heart desired one for myself with a sincere and true desire.

I'm off to see if i can find one online and what I might be able to do as a tradein just for interests sake....

I refused to let her use her hair straighteners - because she had just completely flooded the kitchen by forgetting the bath water and water was dripping through the light fittings - she could not believe I wouldn't wait to turn off the electric and dry stuff out until she was fully ready.

Everyday, telling them to take their piles of dishes from their rooms and place in the dishwasher after scraping off the food.
By not letting them snack all day instead of eating actual meals,
Not allowing them to sit around and making them take the dogs for walks
Sniffing hair to ensure it's actually washed (teen son, teen dd is very into smelling nice)
The latest annoying thing is questioning them both on what revision they have done, which past papers, etc. because I don't understand how exams are these days apparently since I am centuries old obviously

Thank you - they had a good time at the cinema.

i am unreasonable though because I made DD use her pocket money to buy a huge tub of popcorn and a drink.

This is the money DH and I work for and give to her weekly! Everyone else's Mum would have spent £50 buying popcorn and a drink for all of her friend's too without questioning it and being so embarrassingly mean!

I’ve ruined my DD13s life by having the audacity to wash & dry all her clothes so now she actually had to find somewhere to put them (ie in her drawers, in not one but two of her bedrooms!)

I wore flip flops for parents evening when he was 13.
He nows married and lives in flip flops.

DS tore DH a new on for daring to offer some advice.

"You just don't want me to make the same mistakes you did!!!"

Which was true, evil bastard DH!

I was "so nasty and always mean and horrible" to my 11 year old this morning. I could not change the laws of physics to make a pan cool enough to wash within two seconds of taking it off the hob.

Right, I have taken note of each and every post and will be reporting you all to Children's Services... the teens will all be taken into Care. No stop, you don't need to thank me, oh well, if you insist.

I suffered too, my mother used to feed and clothe me, laundered and ironed all my clothes and then bought me my first season ticket for work (£45 for a month). Sheer neglect, I tell you, and no one has paid for any therapy, yet.
