my dirty scummy teenager!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dmo]

ds1 (age 13)is out with friends bowling today and as his internet is down in this bedroom dh thought he would go up and fix it.

ds1 has his room in the loft so as dh is working on the pc he desides to open the window as its warm and what does he find???

the dirty being has balanced pots/spoons/cups on the roof!!!!!!!!!!!!they have mould growing in them

i have been saying for days where are all the spoons but nobody has seen them

wait till he gets home. what should we say/do??

Ha! spoons on the roof! Thats a first.

Hide them in his bed

oh sorry but that's a bit funny! very naughty though.

make him wash them up and do the washing up for the next week?

I'd remove internet capability in his room for a week and he can do the washing up for that time as well.

Well, my friend's parents unscrewed the door of their son's room and put the door in the loft until he could keep his room tidy.

Teenage boys don't like having a room without a door. It was remarkably sucessful!

haha with the door very good idea

stuff from roof is unable to be washed as the mould is bad but i might make him replace them with his christmas money

at washing up his job used to be unload the dishwasher and that was a hassel

internet from his room is very good that might be the key

hide them all under his bed covers as a surprise?

Definitely make him replace them with his Christmas money.

Teenage boys also love finding cutlery in their bed and no door. I'm sure he'd be thanking you for weeks.

What about putting his phone/ipod on the roof for when he gets back?

I would make him buy new cutlery/crockery and make you unlimited cups of tea for the rest of the weekend.

you can use mild bleach with washing up liquid and boiling water on things with mould - saw it on how clean is your house! No need to throw away....

I once found a fossilised Yorkshire Pudding on outside window ledge-it was being used as an ashtray by ds[16]and his friends.I was not amused.

But why has he put them there? That's what I would want to know.

god i LOVE the no door idea, may suggest that to my mum for little sis

Yorkshire pudding as ashtray? Genius!

Would stop him from eating upstairs from now on. That'll solve the problem.

And taking the door off as punishment. Hillarious.

Suitable punishment, guarenteed to have move effect than grounding/etc

could it be some sort of scientific experiment lol - love the idea of removing his bedroom door

oh I'm loving the removal of the bedroom door! evil snickers

Teenagers often take the longest route towards a simple task. Why hide this festering collection on the roof when it was just as easy to bring the whole lot downstairs and wash it? Because he is a teenage boy! I can't see that this "crime" warrants any sort of drastic punishment but I'd restrict his access to drinks and snacks upstairs. That way he can't grow penicillin on the roof.

Out of sight, out of mind... once they left the inside of his room, they would no longer be his problem!
Love the yorkshire pudding ashtray... you have to admire the initiative.
Bicarb of soda is good for mould.

A friend of mine at Uni had been demonstrating tampons to a boy (not a boyfriend just a boy who was a friend). When I say demonstrating I don't mean in a really intimate way just by putting it in a glass of water to show it swellig up.

Anyway she was an untidy mare (plates and mugs usualy stashed in her room for days until we ran out of things and had a raid) so she went out and left the tampon where it was.

Later on she brought back a guy she really liked and wanted to impress but of course the first thing he came across in her room ...

I found a half eaten bacon sarnie attached and growing 'with' a pair of dd's dirty pants ...under her pillow!! She was 14.

I went mental and emptied every drawer in her room and all the wardrobes, made her hang the lost up! that was a year ago, she still remembers it..
