Re: Teenagers
Went in my daughters room a couple of weeks ago, as soon as I opened the door I nearly threw up, smelled like off milk. I couldn't find the offending item, so opened a window and shut the door so she could deal with it when she got home.
She finally found the culprit, a punnet of strawberries that she'd taken upstairs, and then stuffed under her bed. Rotten strawberry leakage everywhere, luckily it was on a rug rather than the carpet, and even luckier that I discovered it 2 days before we went on vacation, I dread to think what the house would have been like after we'd been away for a week
Bloody teenagers. Revolting creatures.

Re: Teenagers
As revolting as they might be, cherish them every day. You never know when you might lose them.

Re: Teenagers
Amen!!!! I had 4 kids, 1 daughter and 3 sons. They were all typical teenagers and thank God they survived those teenage years because there were times I wanted to throw them all away........unfortunately I lost my only daughter 5 years ago to cancer at the age of 38 and I still miss her everyday. She was the one who kept the boys in line and made them tow the line so to speak and she was also the person I went to when I was upset about something and she understood where I was coming from.....so yes no matter what those teenagers do love them and hug them for you never know when you will never have them around anymore..........

Re: Teenagers
Fortunately my daughter never took food upstairs. When I was a child it was forbidden...mum always told us it would attract mice and bugs. I passed that info onto my daughter...she was so scared of attracting mice and monster NJ bugs that she never took food upstairs. 
That reminds me when DS was about 8 or 9. We got back from 2 weeks holiday to a most *odawful smell that hit us when we opened the door. He had thrown up in his trash bin the night before we went away and said he couldn't remember doing it. He did take food up to his room when he was a teenager, and we did get a mouse or two. He was made to set the traps and then do the disposal.
Urgh, I've just thrown up a little. I can't deal with puke at all.Amen!!!! I had 4 kids, 1 daughter and 3 sons.

Re: Teenagers
I was searching for this thread because well, I've kind of had too many buttons pushed this week and the thickened skin is wearing thin.
Advice from son tonight made me laugh though.
I've started rowing and I'm really not very good but I enjoy it. BUT this week, this balding middle-aged twit has been hounding me on the lake and giving me "advice" on how to row. I told son I feel like slapping this man. Son replied "just tell him to f....off!" which was so surprising that I'm still chuckling.

Re: Teenagers
It's a clever plan designed to make you glad when they leave home. Then you miss them like mad until they get back for the whole summer and by the end of that, you're packing their bags a week early.
