teenagers.......

**flora** · 19-08-2010, 06:41 PM

should be put down before they become teenagers

I love her dearly but I have my freind's dd here, she moves in for the summer.

And OMG do I know I have her this visit

moody good ness she could write a book on it, mood swings, tantrums that put my 4yr old dd to shame.

And as for the fat I can't eat thing god I am so fat, god I can't go out looking like this I am so done with it .

I am such an old bag aren't I .

This rant is sparked as I won't let her have tv or fb as she hasn't eaten all day, only doing it for attention so if she can play silly wotsits, so can I.

Mines coming up for 23 too and is completely unapproachable until the week before pay day when he's run out of money THEN he loves his Mummy

The other one is 20 and more demanding every day than ever she was as a child or teenager. Shown them both the door several times but just get told they don't like the colour

**Dragonfly** · 19-08-2010, 07:45 PM

Ha! Ha! doesnt like colour of the door so good.
My 20 year old is totally different natured from the older one never a cross word.I know what you mean about the mood changing when they run out of money or need something

My brother still lives at home with my dad, he is 35

He got married in May and has moved his wife in too

Also, when they have kids, they STILL plan on living with my dad

My dad loves it though as it is company for him.

**Carol M** · 20-08-2010, 03:11 PM

That's what my sister has done! Had to find somewhere cheaper to rent so number of bedrooms had to be less. Her 3 have their own rented places now so no going back

OHs best friend is 47!!! and still living at home with mum and dad

He doesnt work or get any benefits...lives on pocket money from his parents. We take him out every month or so....he pays one round (two pints and a diet coke-me) and then we pay the rest. He waits for us to phone him and when OH rings him, the mate moans at OH for taking so long!

This bloke is a source of great debate between OH and i..i think the bloke is depressed. he lost his job years and years ago and i dont think he ever got over it. he is a bit miffed because he and OH had this "pact" that if they got to 40 and still single he would move into OHs place.......

I met OH 3 months before his 40th.

Joking aside...it does upset me a bit. I have DD2 who has quite severe learning problems and the chance of her living an independent life is minimal. My parents have just retired and are planning all their lovely trips away....foot loose and fancy free. I wont have that. I will always have her at home. Oh dont think i dont want her here...i do...she has been away for 4 days respite and my heart has ached for her. Really ached.

bit of a cry now

feeling sorry for myself...pull yourself together you silly old woman

sorry

I dont want to plan lovely trips away without my "kids" though, moan as I might about them. I suppose I have the choice which you dont, but I cant bear to think of them going off for good

We live in a 4 storey house,so dont live on top of one another and they are out almost every night, but the idea of them not being here is awful

I too am a silly old woman, cheer up
