just when you wonder why you EVEN bothered having children...

[Tortington]

i was in a car crash on wednesday.

so 17 yo son just phoned from his first day at college. college is quite some way away.

the feeling sorry for myself tone came though on the phone and ds asked " whats up mum2
"well my back and neck are really hurting"
"are you still in bed then?"
"yeah, im gonna get up and tidy up in a bit"

"you stay in bed and i;ll do it when i get home around 7pm"

"oh thats so lovey thank you
"well you do it for me!"

there he is, that lovely boy i've missed

that's lovely. Hope you are feeling better soon.

What a sweetheart.

Oh poor you Custardo, I hope you are OK. Car crashes are so frightening

Bless your son, though. It IS worth the screaming matches, eye rolling, curled lips and ransacked fridges after all

Sorry for the crash but at your son. DS (14) gives occasional glimpses of the young man that will finally emerge and it's looking good. It's just at the moment masked by an awful lot of rubbish behavior!

Just hope your DS is good to his word!

that is exactly the type of son i hope i raise.

sorry you had an accident

its nice to preen a little

look after yourself. The hope of nice young people emerging from the cloud of hormones and lynx is encouraging.

Inside every teenager is a real human waiting to emerge..:)

Lovely to read Custardo.. (gives me hope, tho MY 17r DS1 has just lost the memory stick containing all his course work.. my boy is still in chrysalid form!)

Hope you feel ok soon!

What a fine young man Custy.

Hope you are recovering well and that you are resting as much as you can, thanks to your lovely DS

Aw Custy, thats lovely :)

My DS spent the weekend trying to sort his Sisters phone problems out for her. Boys can be fab teens.

aw. Get well quickly.

Truely lovely Custardo. Special boy you raised there.

Hope you heal quickly. car crashes can be really nasty.

It is nice to see them emerge from the horror again, isn't it?

Hope you're feeling better soon.

cheers everyone, sorry i missed the later replies

thanks xx

Custardo

Hope you are feeling a bit better, get well soon.

Did he do it though?

aha! thats the question!

funny, dh phned up not long after and i told him of the conversation, then i said " he won't do it, but the nice thought was there"

sure enough he didn't - he didn't need to, i already had done it - but i truly appreciate the thought

thank you

i hope your operation wasn;t too serious? hope you get better soon, teenagers can be nice can't they!
