:wtf: is it with bloody teenagers needing to take showers for 45 minutes twice a day?? Am I being unreasonable by limiting my 17 year old to 15 minutes tops?
Or should I just turn the hot water off if he doesn't come out I wonder...............

Please tell me they're not all this way. ::b ::b

dont you remember when you were that age?!?

hair had to be perfectly placed, the right shirt with the right jeans/trousers, clean shoes and an unimaginably long time checking for spots or blemishes!
just to get a second glance from the hot girl in the pub.

ahh those were the days...before bills and responsibilities

''Dad, there is no hot water!''

''You don't need any to have a wash''.



''Dad can we have the fire on?''

''It doesn't need to go on, it isn't snowing''.


I only had to hear them replies a few times when I was a kid to realise it wasn't worth asking lol.


His other line was.......we didn't have central heating when I was young. I used to take a glass of water to bed with me and when I got up in the morning it would have ice on it.


I don't know about showers, but I have thinned my son out from working with me because he can't stay off his phone during the day.

I love my tech - it's my job - but that drives me insane!!!

"Working" with some people at the minute and every 2 minutes they have their bloody phones in their hands. Drives me up the wall!! What are they scared of missing?
