Teens, will they ever listen

Last night I knew my kids were up to something no good....
Every time I walked into the room it would go quiet and they wouldn`t look at me....
Next minute my daughter says to my teenage son "you had better tell mum"....
Well naturally a mother is going to think the worst when hearing those sorts of words....
"Mum promise you won`t get mad at me" he says.....
"I`m not promising anything until I hear what you have to tell me"
I have to cover all basis here...lol....
He poked out his tongue at me and then I hit the roof....
He went and got his tongue pierced after I had specifically told him no piercings until he is at least 16 years of age....
I was so angry at him for disobeying me...
And more pissed off because of who had done it...
His girlfriends uncle owns a tattoo and piercing parlour....Biker related.....
So now little old me can`t go down there and abuse them, I don`t fancy being on a death wish....
My son has seen my wrath especially last night....My daughter told him "I told you so" and my husband is just shaking his head....He reckons he might go get his you know what peirced...lol...Just being funny of course.....
I have stipulated to my son, any more facial piercings while he is living under this roof and I will pull them out myself....
If he dares come home with a tattoo I will sandpaper his skin until it disappears....
And he knows I`m deadly serious.....
At the moment he is treading very quietly with me as to not make a wrong move....

  1. Oh dear. Teenagers. I don't have much recent experience of them - apart from being a pretty dreadful one a looong time ago. God, I feel so sorry for my parents now.

    Piercings are much more confronting now. But I do remember being about 15 years old and having a friend pierce my ears with a needle and cork - my father's reaction was one of immense sadness. I forever remember him sadly contemplating his "perfect" creation disfigured by a nasty bit of metal.

    I guess you have to have had kids to fully understand it, but I get a glimpse of his feelings these days. Poor bugger.

  3. Tazar...Ah yes the memories of piercing our own ears....My mother wouldn`t let me get my ears pierced until I was 12...Then I had the taste for it and wanted them done again...NO was her answer so mine was to do it myself...trying to conceal the eveidence was so hard...lol

  5. FOUND YOU!!!

    I had completely forgotten the name of your blogspot blog - was it always this?

    Doh! Finally followed a link - Doh!

    I remember when I had my ears pierced in sercet in yr 8,whilst still in my school uniform. Not in anyone's good books for a LONG time. To make matters worse, they got infected and the rest is too horrible to talk about...

    I hope things settle down quickly...

    Cheers,

    Dopey Cindy

    I think we`ve all done something against our parents wishes....I just didn`t expect my kids to do it to me...How dumb is that....

    Well he knows from now on and he is suffering from his own actions...He can`t eat....lol...

  8. Joys of parenthood. Pierced ears are pretty tame these days. Its all the other weird places they put metal that is gross. My daughter has her tongue pierced too. I've been nagging for ten years but it is still there.
