How to embarrass your teen.

[BrigitBigKnickers]

It's my DH's new hobby and he needs all your ideas! (Might culminate in a new guide for the disgruntled parent of teens!)

1. Hang variety of family's pants on the radiators around the house when said teen's friends are about to visit.

2. Meet teen's boy/ girlfriend at the door with a clipboard and a list of questions to ask before they are allowed to enter the house.

3. Carelessly leave bath time baby snaps somewhere prominent.

I know, we didn't know whether to laugh, cry, or throw up.

Just before they have friends round, borrow some of their clothes to wear. Works best if their clothes are obviously patently unsuitable for a 40something, eg very tight denim shorts with black tights. Works even better if you are a couple of stone heavier than them () and the clothes have to strain somewhat to go round you. They may not protest too much in front of friends but if they do, say "but little sweetiepopsie, you said I looked great in it last week!"

If they are watching TV, point out any sexual references as if they are enormous fun. If men on TV go out in the cold or take off any clothes, say "ooh, that cold'll shrivel their bits!" Every time an attractive man comes on TV, say "WWhoooar! You wouldn't say no to that, would you?!"

Snog your OH in front of them. Be warned that any 10 year old house members will make slurping noises - but 14 year olds will go a satisfying shade of red.

my muv said to me "your owned bruv can ya lend me some scratch" i said "do you even know what that means!!" she said "nah i got it off your facebook" oh.my.days. my dad loves to fart in front of my mates. hes like peter pan. he will never grow up.

I have shouted "bus wankers" at DS (16) and his mates who were waiting at the bus stop as I drove past.

I always ask him loudly if he wants to play with the lego while we are at the dentists.

I call his underwear "knickers" which drives him loopy.

I sing the wrong words to pop songs apparently which is very annoying.

pmsl that is brilliant..(bus wankers)

comment on pictures of their friends on facebook!

I'm with batteryhuman on this one. They won't refuse a ticket to a music festival but I still grin at the look on dd face when OH started shimmying to David Guetta- priceless !

Wear some of those shag-bands and encourage your DP to snap them in public.

Say "your mum" in the middle of arguments. Confusion and embarrassment in one fell swoop.

bus wankers ... brilliant!
