ds(14) has posh GF who goes to an all girls school. a classmate was having a coming of age and THURSDAY ds said "mum i need a suit am going to a dance"
he doesnt tell me what kind of dance, event, or suit he needs and isn't forthcoming with getting me the information.
anyway i invite GF to come shopping to make sure we get right stuff - yesterday.

i forfeited an plans for my saturday night so i could be on hand for ds should he need it.

ont her way there he was panicing that we were late ...literally y 5 mins

we got there to a dance where he wouldnt know anyone from this school - all the beautiful girls in their ball gowns and tiaras - parents in bow ties etc etc

he didnt wan to get out of car - i told him to go see if he could see his GF - he walked past the place and back again and got back in car!

i told him to go INSIDE and i would wait for him - but to come and let me know he is ok.

i waited and he didn't come out

he told me it finished at 11 i went to get him he wasn't there - i didnt know wha to do - dh phoned me 25 mins later the GFs mum had dropped him home.

then DH started telling me that ds had indeed made those arrangement - to get him "if he called" which is untrue.

this morning spurred on by this final straw on camels broken back i proceeded to tell my three teenagers how unhappy i am with them expecting me to be a god damned taxi but pulling a face when i ask them to do anything - had hol mother of a cow at ds
am not speaking to dh either - and i dont do not speaking as you cal tell!

anyway, DD has just come in with a homemade card which is decorated with glitter and says sorry on the front with a ovely message inside from th three kids. i know it all her idea - shes a girl and girls think like that

why are boys so pants? rhetorical. am not the fucking maid arrrrgh

i stomped to bed at 8.30am - i might get up and saunter around and see what comes of that.

ah bless your dd though

What a thoughtful gesture from dd.
Why not try 'charging' your son work in lieu of your time spent taxi-ing?
They soon get the message!

Blimey, I don't blame you. I do think it is a boy thing - just incapable of thinking of anyone else (mainly a teenager thing, but enhanced in boys I think).

I go spare every time I ask one of mine to do something and immediately get the "Why me? What about him?". I've told them that, in future, I'll only do my own washing, my own meals, etc., etc., because, after all, I only need concern myself with me, don't I? They all looked shocked. Doubt it will change their behaviour though.

I'd have been spitting if I'd done all that running around and then one of mine turned it round so that anything that went wrong was my fault.
