Why don't they put away the milk......

[BG2015]

and the cereal, bowl, spoon, sugar, glass.....?

Why?

I tell them over and over and over again.....then they just get up and walk away?

Do I speak a language they don't understand?

[BG2015]

I hide some things. And leave out the stuff that's OK to eat.

Cereal, toast, noodles, pasta, eggs are what my DS eat.

I make delicious, healthy homemade food and plate them some up - my DP eats it the following day at work.

[BeautifulLiar]

Oh no I'm dreading this!! I hate it even if DH eats food I thought I had

[Ledkr]

Id love dd to make toast instead of endless concoctions and all the snacks

[Ledkr]

Me too beautuful but dd takes no notice. I have stuff locked away but you can't do it with everything.
Just went to make some popcorn for dd2 and its all gone. Sooo annoying

[queenoftheboys]

Oh yes, all of these! The toast...the endless bloody toast - he goes through at least a loaf of bread a day. And leaves the butter on the bench, and the plates on the floor.

And leaves his nasty sweaty socks on the living room floor, then complains when the dog eats them.

And he had the gall to call me insufferable today!!

[Ledkr]

Drink the vodka as a punishment 😂

[BeautifulLiar]

Teenagers are allowed to eat what they like?! God I was bollocked/starved if I helped myself to food :(

[Savagebeauty]

Half empty vodka bottle and empty cans of coke left out last night by ds and his mates

[Sadik]

OK, I see your point . . .

[Ledkr]

It's a bad thing cos I dint want to come home to find my kitchen looking like a coke den and no eggs for breakfast. We dint benefit at all, she eats what she makes.
Lol at the cookie dough. Dd makes butter cream, then just eats it

[Sadik]

"I have had to hide baking ingredients because dd will literally bake a cake if she's hungry"
And this is a bad thing why? (Providing she shares, of course!)
DD is pretty good, she hoards mugs but being an obsessive type has her own ones that I'm not allowed to use so it's reasonably self limiting - and I get my own back by going into her room and rounding them up when it's her turn to do the washing up

[GasLightShining]

Oh the shoe rack - it's empty and the floor is covered with shoes. I am amazed at my own super intelligence as it is obvious a really difficult task and I can mange it yet the DC can't

[Peebles1]

DD makes jelly

DSs are away at uni but when they're home do all of the above. They'll grab a bag of crisps and a handful of crackers beside me while I'm cooking tea.

Another thing that annoys me (bit picky) is when they open cheese and don't put it in a plastic bag and it goes all hard. Far too much to hope for there though, if they haven't mastered the shoe rack. Funny thing is they complain how at uni all their house mates are so lazy and messy and they have to do all the cleaning!!

[MiffleTheIntrovert]

Ledkr i have one like that - I introduced her to mug cakes made in the microwave, as I got fed up with all the eggs being used up in big cakes!

It went down so well lots of teens got mugs, ingredients and recipes for Christmas

I have another one who makes, and eats, cookie dough. Doesn't make cookies - just the dough.

I have had to hide baking ingredients because dd will literally bake a cake if she's hungry
Yesterday after swimming we had Mcds at 3, dd had full sized meal and ice cream, she then requested fajitas for dinner so I said id do them around 8 as lunch had been late.
So at 7 as I prepared dinner she made herself a pot noodle then rolled her eyes as I objected.
Stil are her dinner though!
She's 7 stone and size 6/8

[Baconyum]

Yep dd now taller than me and can reach stuff I've put away while standing on a chair!

Yes to all the above, also disappearing cutlery (I have thousands of butter knives but no dessert spoons, as she seems to live on cereal and ice cream I am assuming they're in her room...she says not!)

Yesterday she left the fridge open and the gas hob on

[BG2015]

NoCales no, it gets worse I'm afraid. And because they are teenagers they can help themselves to whatever they want without asking.

I hate that they start eating something 30 minutes before a meal is ready too. All their mealtimes are off kilter with ours! We rarely sit down together anymore!

[NoCapes]

Oh God this is depressing
My eldest is 6, but I have been looking forward to him growing out of this sort of stuff??

[MajesticWhine]

Sigh. All of the above. And mugs and bowls left bloody everywhere.

[Ledkr]

How about pouring huge quantities of cereal into the bowl, drowning It in milk then leaving half if it
Oh yes abd get really stroppy if I dare to complain.

[GasLightShining]

Everything everyone has already mentioned and more

I am not OCD about the state of the house but everything mentioned is just basic cleanliness.

[Savagebeauty]

It's the jam and toast crumbs in the butter which gets me

[motherwithheadache]

DH asked yesterday if I thought I had anger issues.......and breathe!!


ha, that made me really chuckle.

[lljkk]

I leave the milk out if I'm going to use it again within 10 minutes (probably). Winds DH up no end. Which only encourages me more... at least the teens aren't that immature. Or capable of that much forward planning.

Wet towel left on the floor is the only one my teens really do, of the others.
