Would you tell your teen you can hear him ...doing what teen boys do....and could he please do it quieter?

[weebleswobble]

I've posted before about walking in on him and learning to knock before entering his room.

Now the problem is I can hear him in my kitchen because his bedroom's above. So, as I prepare dinner/wash up/generally potter, I hear him wanking.

I know it happens, and they all do it, but I really don't want to hear it.

Tactful approach?

buy him a comfy chair so you wont hear his arm banging off it

i would say " i dont want to hear you wank whilst i am cooking the tea - think on in future and have a little more respect for your mothers feelings...besides...your knob will drop off"

I like carmenere's advice. She made me laugh.

Theres a bit in 'We Need to Talk about Kevin' that really reminds me of this.

[not saying your son is a Kevin]

Think she made it known somehow that she could hear him....it didn't stop him tho'!

custy, i think we get the jist of your approach....but feel free to further clarify

nothing stops them. Not even getting Married!

i personally would call social services.

Mb, how true!!

don't think i've actually heard my son yet though, but he's nearly 14, so i guess it's a matter of time.

lol Custy I think he'd die of embarrassment!

He's upstairs watching football and just shrieked "YES!" He's clearly better at watching football

Well I know my ds (14 tomorrow!!) does, thankfully I've NEVER heard him.

Southeatsastra, you just haven't been paying attention or listening hard enough.

Ranting, they share their birthday - perhaps I should have bought elbow pads.

Rofl I find selective deafness on the part of the parent helps enormously. And hope yours has a lovely day.

Our tv in the bedroom is linked to the one downstairs and DS (15) somestimes sleeps down there to escape from DS2. The other night DH switched our tv on to check the time and saw that DS was flicking merrily through the porn channels (where they give delightful "averts" to make you subcribe) and obviously knew ALL the channel numbers by heart!!

Next morning I said to him "Try not to wank in the living room darling, it offends me".. he looked shocked as hell and then burst out laughing

Shiney

that must be my technique then he does make alot of noises upstairs

oh happy birthdays to them. mine is 14 in 2 weeks.

It's also become known in our house as "painting the volcano" (as in slapping the salami.. choking the chicken etc) because DS had been closeted upstairs for ages once and didn't hear us calling him down for tea and when we asked whatever he'd been doing he said "painting the volcano"!

Seeing as we weren't, at that point, aware that he had a volcano upstairs I asked him if that was a new name for "it"!

It is now

DS good humouredly despairs of his embarassing mother's humour over matters such as teenage masturbation which he claims is "not to be discussed, even jokingly, with one's parents!"

Chop it off and put pepper on it

Shiney, I'm veering towards your technique now. It's not been talked about and I'm thinking making a joke about it could be the way to go.

Des, that's what I should have done to his father

LMAO shiny. Opps need to go get a tena lady now

How do you hear him? Does he moan or what? You mention banging..what does he bang?

Bear in mind I was never a teenage lad so have really no idea what kind of noise it would be

Firefly, it sounds like he's banging his elbow on the chair in his bedroom . It's a fast banging noise.
