Just as the title says. I am writing a comedy about teenage boys, and a lot of the audience will be parents. I am aware of many of boy's shortcomings, but list your top ones in case I have left some out.

And refuses to wear a coat when waiting for the school bus, even if it is snowing.

Says he doesn't need help with GCSE revision or testing. Waits until I am taking hot pans of food out of the oven. 'Oh yeah, Mum, would you be able to do a French role-play with me now? The aural's tomorrow.'

Inability to read and interpret bus timetables and weekend changes to services. Leading to constant calls to collect him from far distances because he's got it wrong.

But I do adore him.

I've only read the first 2 pages but recognise all of it in my 16 year old DS (yet to find a wank sock though - eeeewwww)

My delicious DD is only 23 weeks old - please somebody tell me teenage girls are not as disgusting? Anyone??

Ha! My DD is worse! 14 and her room is beyond vile most of the time unless I am wielding 'my stick'.
