17yo boys… don’t have one!!!

Asked my 17yo son to babysit (PAID) for 2 hours. His idea of babysitting is laying in bed the entire time and shouting every so often asking if they are still alive.

Came home to 6yo painting in the (carpeted) living room, 9yo raiding my 22yo’s bedroom and 11yo cooking 24 potato waffles.

Called 17yo downstairs to ask what the heck was going on and he just stands there eating a potato waffle and casually says no one died so I can chill.

Spoiler alert: I didn’t chill 🧐🧐

Yeah I have a couple of sons and I called their teen years the Terrible Teens. But it all worked out good - they are now hard working men and I get to throw in a "I told you so" every now and then. Cheers!

@Nanoose Nothing sweeter than an “I told you so!” 😁

@resealableheart Well there are a few things that come close to being as sweet. Like the one boy used to call my 70s and 80s rock music "old fuddy duddy music" now he sometimes listens to it. Cheers!
