Latest teenage rant thread.

[GROWLER]

Thought I'd have our own exclusive thread for us desperate worn out ear bent parents of teenagers to let the steam out. 

I was going out for a meal with my one and only good and long standing mate last night.
Young Growler was acting as chauffeur so I could have a few scoops.

I asked Mini Moose what she'd like for tea before I departed, and I said I'd put it in the oven for her while she's tapping away on FaceAche.

Breaded chicken and chips then, nice and easy. Put the oven on to warm up.
5 minutes later I ask her what she'd like for veg? Some nice garden peas p'raps?


"Well you seem to have taken over, so do what you want"


Oven off, breaded chicken back in the fridge, chips back in the freezer, goodbye, and get your own bloody tea ready.

I had to buy The Brat a new battery for her laptop as the other had completely burnt out ( I wonder why  )

So ?55 quid later it arrived yesterday.

Gave it to her and say now replace the old one and don't keep your laptop plugged it at all times.

"I'll do it later - stop bugging me - can't you see I'm busy "  was the response

I had to leave the room while she still had a head on her shoulders

CrimBo pressie sorted then. Another new battery for her lap top.  

I get no sympathy from Mrs G whatsover regarding the never ending ongoing battle of wits here.
She simply says that I can't grasp the fact that "she's just a teenager"

I KNOW SHE'S A RANCID TEENAGER YOU GORMLESS WUMMAN. THAT'S WHY I'M SO BLOODY BAD TEMPERED MOST OF THE TIME.

Or I snuff it with a stress related teen induced 'eart attack, one or the other.  


My bezzy mates daughter is at Scarborough uni., but she comes home today apparently.
 He's dreading it, but looking forward to her 20th birthday in 2 months time/

But they keep coming back until they are at least 30

My eldest is 35 now, and even though he lives alone in his own pad, he's still a pain in the arse.

Was anyone in here ever a horrid teenager?

Eldest daughter (39) is very wrapped up in her own THW these days
Eldest son (42) was a total pain, gave him a job once and he robbed me blind but it is hard to call in the police when it's your first born. Upshot was that Mrs S#2 and I lost our "retirement" house on the Isle of Wight and the pub there as well but we accepted it and got on with our lives. I then found him a job with my old employers who I eventually returned to work for myself but had to keep digging him out of trouble there. Finally we had "WORDS" and he hasn't spoken to me since (nearly 12 years now).

I look forward to similar problems when the THW finally leaves the nest. Dunno about the boys yet. Early days, no doubt they will cause problems but somehow I don't expect them to be as much trouble (Those may come under the heading of "Famous last words")

[Snoopy]

Oh yes 

But I solved the problem by leaving home at fifteen and a half to join the RAF as a Boy Entrant. Parents only saw me twice in the next four years by which time service life had knocked some semblance of sense into me.

[GROWLER]

 somehow I don't expect them to be as much trouble (Those may come under the heading of "Famous last words")

It seems to be true. Lads are generally less trouble in my experiences.... so far

Young Growler jnr is generally a very good lad who works bloody hard and keeps his room unbelievably neat and tidy. Bit of a pedantic old wumman in many ways, but I luv him loads.

[Miss Demeanour]

Was anyone in here ever a horrid teenager?  

I don't think I was  - in fact I know I wasn't - which is prolly part of the problem now . I expect her to behave in the same way and she is sooooooo totally different to how I was as a teenager.

[Nick]

You came to be badly behaved in later life then? 

[Miss Demeanour]

 

No - I have still never behaved badly in my life
