Do you really want me to answer that ;O) a friend once said to me also, make sure when the kids move out you get the front door key of them , see what he means now ;O)

Do you realize tho, the circle of life is now complete we have now turned into our parents and our kids have turned into us ......yikeeeeees when did that happen :O)

Hi Helen

I know I had 3 girls, it it ain't nailed down it comes under their collective use..... thought I had to stop sharing when I moved away from home, and I was not fighting with my Sister, now I am fighting with the kids :O)
Funny thing this privacy rule with teenagers , you have to understand it is all one way !!!! you cannot look at their mobiles, or e-mails or enter their bedrooms unanounced they on the other hand get the right to do all this and some ............ ;o)

Dear desperate housewife,be prepared for them to come back,just as you are used to having a life again.Mine are 22 and 25!!!!!!!Hopefully for not too much longer.I think I am keeping Andrex toilet rolls going,bread , biscuits ,cereal anything you care to mention.What really p.....s me off is my moisture cream,hand cream perfume etc seems to just vanish.Also my nice Fengal bath and shower stuff.Nothing is sacred.And there is no privacy!!.We thing once they have finally moved out ,we will move and not tell them where we have gone.!!Good idea?

Where'nt you young once !

or the old classic

Well all my friends are allowed too !!!! ;O)

They're polite!!! Can't write half of what he's said! It's usually our fault.

When he's nice, he's nice but when he's horrid - aaghh!

In shock, wipes brow - he's just been nice.
