holy shit you'll never guess what my son just did?!

[Tortington]

he brought the plate he was using down from his room
er

HE WANTS MONEY

Five minutes he will be all 'muuuum, can Ihave a tenner'

i think get orf has nailed it,
no sooz, his room is still a hole - not that that;s ever stopped him before!

Trigger for my daughter is 'mum, would you like me to make you a cup of tea?'

I know she is going to ask for money, a lift somewhere, to borrow my jeans or all three.

my daughter does that, and borrows my jeans - im a midget and shes tall - so she just wears boots to cover the half mast legs.

really pisses me off!

so yesterday, i wore a pair of hers, rolled them up and stuck them in MY boots - HA!

Yep, he want's something
My DS2 washed up twice yesterday & took his ironing upstairs.

If my son brought down on plate there would still be more crockery up there than down here!Agree though he is after something and money would be my guess too!

my ds has just got his first gf - he is 'in a relationship' and is now sloping off with gf all the time.
should i be pleased relieved or worried?also is it time for 'the talk'....

you iron for your son

neverthe less, he took it upstairs

sons clean washing is still ont eh table from when i asked him to take it up...friday.

sharby, how old is he?

oh yes and i agree nodders, i think all my glasses are up there.

when i am down to two mugs, and 2 plates i'll stop being so accomodating and start in on him in full nuclear mode

God I'm a complete wuss by comparison - I go and retrieve stuff because I value the availability of crockery more than I value teaching my DCs to be functioning adults. Or something.

Custardo - I reckon the plate just happened to fall into his hand as he was on his way downstairs.

He lives in the loft so that is actually very feasible!

he must be in a drug-fuelled haze!!

LOL, he can't afford drugs....is it wrong of me to wish that he could

ah no I was being faceitious.
(Is it wrong of me to wish I could afford drugs...?[grin})

was the food stuff on it growing new stuff? DD2 brought down a mug last night - it's furry.

16 and a half

Custy can you have a look at my punishment thread(that sounds worse than it is ) I need some ideas that don't involve throwing my son out!

have commented only a tiny bit noddy!

sharbie, i think its a great time to talk about contraception, maybe buy him some? he might be embarrassed

let him know where the local family planning clinic is too

also tell him that he can g here in strict confidence and you will never know about it. same goes for his girlfriend

also remember to tell him how much you love him and if he or his girlfriend ever ever get into a pickle that they can come to you will no judgement, that whatever comes of goes if he comes to you about a sexual thing, you will have a conversation that you promise you will never remind him of - ever.

also remind him if his girlfriend is under 16 that her parents can have him prosecuted for statuatory rape even if his girlfriend agrees to sex. tell him that this means he would be on a sex offenders register and that potential employers will think hes a paedophile

ta i did think about offering to buy some - eeeeeek

gf same age so that's good

both of my dcs seem to have tuned out of the sex ed lessons at school - their ignorance is truly terrifying
