Mine are 18 & 16 dose it ever stop. Were we as bad as that (SORRY MUM)

funny that cos i cause a lot of the problems in this house apparently, socks and boxers arent in their cupboard, my fault, hubby brought his fleece down to go to work earlier , put it on back of chair then shouted from upstairs half hour later , what you done with my fleece, (i had only been in kitchen as always) he says i must have moved it and put it there!!!! son says wheres my school uniform, wheres my books, why didnt you get me up at half 7, when he sets his alarm for 7 and i call him every 15 mins. i called my daughter kevin once in sainsburys the assistant said thats an unusual name. i fell about laughing

I have 3 teenagers. 1 girl aged 18 and twin boys of 17..... she's never on time for work, stays out at night and has a bedroom like a tip. 1 son works but doesn't bathe and also has his side of the bedroom as a tip. The other 1 is still in school and he'll lay in bed all day and spend any remaining time in the shower or in front of the t.v. All three hate each other and will argue and fight as much as possible and are always stroppy! Glad I go to work! Viv

I've just asked my son what he is "on"? He's in such a good mood for once, not moaning and groaning about having to do his chores. He said he wasn't on anything - Santa was coming and he couldn't wait!!!!!!! By the way - he's 15 and a half!!!! :))

OI !!! Not all of them! lol

Mornings! I went out to spray the de- icer on both daughters' cars this morning so that it could be taking effect while they finished getting ready. Came in and elder daughter asked if grandson had a clean shirt and 'oh can you come out and collect his drink bottle from the car? " Before or after I iron his shirt?" Funny, when they were young nobody ran round getting things sorted for me. Sorry folks, the 'girls are in their 20s, you need more patience for a few years yet.

Now i gotta say...yeah i wasnt perfect when i was that age....not forgetting that i am still a teen...(not that i like to admit it!) but i never had tantrums, told my mum i hate her, done the whole its not fair thing! Maybe i was just wierd or still am, but i couldnt think of anything worse than being like that, i just wanna get on with my mum.....but as i said, there were times that i could be....erm....troublesome! lol xx

At least when they're asleep they're not getting into mischief.

Bernard I dont know but I would definately put my son down for a double dose

If women can have Hormone Replacement Therapy, (HRT), why can't teenagers have Hormone Extraction Therapy, (HET) ?

Cos its our fault we havent got a shower

Thinking about it my son loves having a bath and will lie in it for ages but he moans if I wont run it for him...says I do it to the perfect temperature!!!!! Also expects warm fluffy towels to be on hand....

I've gotta give my three boys their due, when it coem to teeth brusjing they are very good. We came home late the other ngith and i just wante them to get into bed, but was told very crossly that their teeth must be brushed first!!! I always thought it would be my boys i would have to persuade to get int to the bath, but two of them, the youngest and one of the twins, ar brilliant. Luke (twin) even had a paddy xmas shopping on sunday. he'd been to football and was muddy, but i had then pick up his sister. He went mad ' When am i supposed to have a bath??? ' But on the other hadn his twin and his elder sister have to be chased into the bath!!!!!!! Thought girls didn't do things like that???

Sue First I would take the lock off the door. Afterall it is your house and you should have access to all parts of it. If his room is accessible you can then send in the cat, the dog, any younger siblings, his friends - I've done all of this to my daughter and it has worked to some degree! Last weekend we told her the architect that was coming to measure up for the new extension needed to be in her room. He didn't but she got up! But as Rose said you will definitely notice a difference when they fall in lurv! Jeanette x

Rosemary I cant wait for that day!! But then I will probably have to remember to polish his shoes, drive him to his girlfriends etc. God forbid I should forget to wash and iron his favourite top and jeans

Because it is our fault if they forget of course!!

Wait till he falls in love Sue.Honestly they change over night.They get up, wash,demand that the house is tidy for them to bring the girl back to.Tidy their room.You will see a different person. Julien,my nephew has just fallen in love 16 going on 17.Ain't love grand--Happy memories Rose

Ah It has made me so happy to realise that this is normal and that it isnt just me who forgets to clean the football boots, put the right school books in his bag, do the homework or brush his teeth!!!

Sue in Suffolk Set fire to it! lol I got it in the neck this morning because I forgot my daughters guitar! Jeanette x

Not just teeenagers, am afraid!!!!!! my kids do it too, why on earth would i know where their school shoes are they don't fit me!!!!!!! I shoud think its gonna get worse before it gets better judging by all your comments!!!! my four are 6,9,9 & 12 Heaven help us all
