You have every right to be angry, if it was me they'd be out in a tent until they could respect the home they were provided with.

 

We were no angels as kids when our parents were away but there were never any parties at home and my parents always joked that the house was cleaner when they came back than when they went away!

 

If their friends are worth so much to them to cause the upset they have then next time you go away they can go and stay with them.

My ex husband's daughter gets locked out of the house when her mother goes away and she has to find friends to stay with. I think you are right not to do stuff for them. They will have to learn not to take you or your home for granted. Sounds like they are trying to make amends though BOYS!

I read this post with trepidation on my mobile on Saturday . OH and I were in Suffolk (so rather a long way away!) for 3 days leaving our sons, 16 and 18, home alone . I did have my brother "babysitting" but only for Sat night.

 

Thankfully, nothing untoward happened but I'm still cross . The laundry's piled high, as are the dishes, the dog's water bowl was empty and I suspect both of them sat on their PC's all weekend . ES isn't even here and didn't bother to mention he was going out.

 

I'm going to go on laundry strike . If they run out of clothes to wear, perhaps they'll work out how the process of washing clothes works .

Scarlet - lets set the scene - a few yrs on and your sons are shacked up with a bantum and have young of their own - they come back from a grubby weekend to find the house in a mess cos the chicks have had a party. Just think you are in your little neat nest and can say " now you know how I felt" - what goes around comes around. Do everything you've threatened and more. Good luck Love ALi

Yes just leave them as:

I believe all boys should know how to use a washing machine as they leave home and have to work one someday and it is necessary to keep them clean and not rely on us. Do teach them to use it and to iron also! - mine eventually learnt to do it himself as he had to !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday the dishwasher was emptied without me asking, today the dogs are being walked and the recycling is sorted. I may do some washing later I did my own ironing yesterday

That's great, it sounds like they've come to their senses and realised how in the wrong they were!

Glad theyre making amends. I find it pretty shocking really as a younger teen we would have sneaky parties but we would do everything in our power to tidy up so as not to get in trouble.

I was in rented at 18 and then we bought our own house when I was 20 though so I find it hard to understand these 20 something behaving like that.
