What do your teens do that annoy you?

[marvelousdcomics]

• Dd (14) walks around in her boxers and sports bra (sometimes a vest) saying I should put the heating on
• Ds (13) also does the same (minus sports bra, obviously )
• Leaving apple cores/banana skins in their bedrooms for them to go mouldy
• 'forgetting' to do their assigned chores
• Never making their beds!
• Eating constantly and complaining that we never have any 'real food' in (ie junk food)
• Never seem to be able to find the washing basket, the floor will apparently do just fine
• Endless deodorant bottles/roll on things all over the house

Do love them though

Oh god, where to start ...... 2 teenage daughters means the bathroom looks a war zone, so many products and razors everywhere, overflowing bin, window never opened or fan switched on so it smells musty. We have a separate ensuite thank god but when you want a bath, you have to tackle it - and then clean it first. I got so fed up with the washing mountain that they do their own, which then means whenever I want to use the washer or dryer, its full of theirs - usually its been in there for days and stinks...... the endless toast making, the "why don't you buy anything nice to eat" ie junk food, the TV is always on MTV or some other reality crap............... but what I do love is that they are still here, with 1 having left home the mess/noise etc is something that you really miss!!

[Strikingclock]

Oh god yes, the endless DRAMA, it is utterly exhausting - can't even agree on who is going to set the table or hang up coats atm - without having to call in a UN negotiator ... .

Ditto clothes on floor, selective hearing, toast obsession

And I am sure we will at some point win the Guinness Book of Records award for most number of hair elastics and deodorant canisters contained in one house

Eldest will not get a move on in the mornings! First is the struggle to get him out of bed, then the struggle to get him out of the door in time for the school bus. Every morning I expect him back saying he's missed it.

Again the eldest...is going to be 17 on Saturday. We still don't know what he wants, what he wants to do, if he wants to celebrate with his friends or family on the day. We have offered to buy him and two friends concert tickets, to give him money to go out for a meal with his friends, to book a table for a family meal...nothing!!

They both watch YouTube videos on their phones and giggle like mad but will not share what is funny.

Selective deafness.

The eldest never knows where his wallet is resulting in the whole family searching frantically seconds before he should be leaving the house.

[DooWhop]

Yes to all of these but big I think you've kidnapped my dd2. Snapchats streaks and makeup on the carpet gave me the rage this week.

[screechingcorella]

Mumbling! All the mumbling! I'm starting to just smile and nod in return.

[Owllady]

One them keeps saying areola all the time but tbh he's a sweet boy
My 17 yo doesn't irritate me at all

[Bumperstickers]

The floordrobe. Being "worn out" at college despite hardly being there and doing not much work. Too stressed and busy to get a Saturday job (spends all day Saturday lying around doing nothing).
Yes being late all the time!! Being glued to phone/internet constantly. Being like a lodger in the house, an untidy one at that.
I could go on and on.

[hairymairyfromthedairy]

Currently having the silent treatment from mine because I said if he went out he needed to be back for 6 as that was when we were eating & it's getting dark not long after that! Apparently no-one else has a time to be back & it's perfectly reasonable to be out until he feels like coming home & still expecting his tea on his return! He didn't go out at all!!

[BigSandyBalls2015]

Another one as of last night - 15 or so texts (she was out) begging me to order a new top as it's mufti day at school on Friday. She sent a photo of it, begging for me to pay for next day delivery - she's got the money in her account and she'd pay etc etc. So lots of texts toing and froing, she was answering immediately, and I did order it for her.

However, I followed up with a text about her history coursework as I'd received an email from her teacher ...... no reply from DD. Sent another one ..... ignored. When she got home she feigned ignorance and said she hadn't seen them .

Thanks for that tip Quietly, I'll try that.

[Sparklingbrook]

One single thing going wrong meaning everything is awful. For example bad day at p/t job means wanting to give up work, school, learning to drive and football, because ' EVERYTHING IS CRAP'. Then the next day carrying on as normal.

14 year old getting home from school at 3.45pm but not doing his paper round til 6.30.

Love them both to bits though, they are mostly good lads. It's just all the DRAMA!

[CoverYourEarsTeam]

Mine has been using all the data on our shared phone plan. We have 10.5GB between us, which I think is oodles. But he goes through half of it in the first fortnight and then I spend the next two weeks getting ever-stroppier texts from the phone company about our data limit. Along with threats to top up our data at exorbitant cost.
It doesn't matter how many discussions, reminders, whatever we have about it, it's the same every month.
For instance, I have just checked our use with a week to go on the plan: him 9.25GB, me 331mb.
Well I have fixed him... quick online chat with the phone company and our plans have been separated. He now gets 5.5GB a month and I get 5GB. Freedom

[Quietlygoingmad67]

big make up stains on new carpet here as well - does your DD have make up brush cleaner? If so use that it works really well

[Quietlygoingmad67]

Dd1 (19) leaves every cupboard or door open!! Drives me insane.

Dd2 (14) is just SO messy. Constantly has ear phones in so when you talk to her she huffs and pulls one earphone out and I get "WHAT?"

Both of them throw their washing at the dirty washing box because they Can't possibly lift the lid and put it in!

[Dreamfrog]

Phone permanently on silent so doesn't see I've rung / text then or ignores me but sends ??? Or ...... if I don't reply to them with in 5 seconds of sending me a text though !

[WankersHacksandThieves]

Moves at the pace of a sloth with ME whenever he needs to be in a hurry, and when asked to hurry up exclaims that he can't go any faster and that shouting at him doesn't make him move any faster no, but the toe of my shoe up your jacksy might help

other than that, not too much.

[Susiesue61]

Switching from happy to annoyed in a milli second because of something pointless!
And yes, clean clothes in the washing (and footballs in Ds1's!?!)

[PutDownThatLaptop]

Dropping litter by chairs as it is too far to walk to the bin. Not wearing deodorant. Using the floordrobe. Joking about inappropriate things in front of little sibling. Constant eating of cereal and making a mess whilst doing so.
It all pales into insignificance when I consider how hilarious they are and how much fun they bring.

[Carlamomof3]

13 yr old always leaves empty coffee cups and dishes on the floor in her room. How hard is it to walk them over to the kitchen?

[WestCoastGirl]

Bigsandy same here. Sick of dd17 being late for everything, especially college classes. She keeps saying "oh it doesn't matter, its only 6th form". Apparently the teachers don't mind. That's why I keep getting texts from them then!!!

And saying " like" 6 times in every sentence. I hate it but its better than swearing every other word she says!!!!

I could go on but I'd be here all day

[BigSandyBalls2015]

Make up stains on newish bedroom carpet is pissing me off at the moment.

Inability to leave the house on time for anything at all. Not just school, but fun things too.

Adding random unnecessary words to sentences - such as "Where are my trainers at". WTF is with the 'at', just why!?

Obsessed with 'streaks' on snapchat, nearly hyper-ventilated with grief when I confiscated her phone for a day as 'her streaks would be ruined'. I've no idea.

[Lifeisshort123]

DD (14) puts her headphones on 24/7 and it drives me nuts as she never seems to hear me. She also seems to have selective hearing.
DS (17) walks around in his underwear and complains how cold the house is and turns all of the heating on without me knowing about it!

[marvelousdcomics]

Backfor, I used to be like that with dd, but now she has it cut really short - looks better but the amount of hair products we go through is

InMy made me laugh, that did. My teens don't do it (much), but ds2 (10) is notorious for it!

[InMySpareTime]

Farting! All the time, like he's brewing a brass band or something. I can hear them across the room, he obviously can't because he constantly wears headphones.

[Wordsmith]

All of the above. Plus eating humongous amounts of breakfast cereal at all times of day because he can't wait for dinner/is too lazy to put together a sandwich.
