Default Adopt a 17 year old boy!

Trying to off load a unsmiling, lying, morose 17 year old before we go to Aus! He does nothing around the house, gets up at 2 pm, plays xbox, eats the contents of the fridge, even the evenings dinner if it is prepared! He doesn't go to school (first year A level) and then lies to say he has. All offers gratefully received!!!

When you get to the airport, tell him "There's you ticket" and when he queries about the destination just say "Don't be so silly, of course 'The Republic of Congo' is in Australia"

He's a normal 17 year old then I'm sure he's lovely but I don't want him :scared:

Afraid I can't offer him a home either, but am sure the oz experience will sort him out. Good luck.

Hiya Vanessa,
I prefer Woody Allens idea and adopt a 17 year old philipino Girl

What ever happened to Mia Farrow

Bye

Mine are 21, 20, 19 and 14 'been there, done that, got the tee-shirt'..sounds like a typical 17yr old. Believe me in years to come you will forget about this stage!!!!!
