Are they any worse since my two daughters reached the magical teens (seems yonks ago

) or as my eldest granddaughter is 13 today will we still need the earplugs. All advice is appreciated.

Attaching your foot to teenagers Arse always works.

Stop paying their mobile phone bill, might not stop the winging but will remind them who's in charge.

I thought this was going to be a thread about the reaction to brexit.

Not quite that simple when the contract is in my name

Take the fuse out of the plugs of their favourite devices/chargers.

That used to work but now 4G is practically everywhere.

Most of the above never worked age 1-12.

That's what teenagers do, test your patience. There is no quick fix.

It's a long list. Child cruelty is ok, Sister Gertrude told me so.

I wonder in which year child cruelty by Nuns actually ceased? Sr Gertie was regularly hitting me and my friends with a shoe well into 1979...

Probably the year she retired. Not sure when that was but it was post 1979.
