No, he's been a little shit, Monty.
He wasn't even trusted with the house, he was supposed to be staying elsewhere and he knew he wasn't meant to have any mates around while we weren't there but still did it anyway.

Any of his mates that come round will receive a royal bollocking for their part in it. Not that they're actually welcome here anymore.

Has the bollocking (I assume) you've already given him sunk in at all.
Or does he think you're making a big deal out of nothing?

He hasn't surfaced yet, so I'm not sure.
He did tidy the living room and cleaned outside last night, but the dishes are still waiting to be done.

Oh mate don't be too harsh on him.
I'm sure you did some stupid shit at that age, no?

Shut up Monty
This is the closest I'll get to child abuse.

PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE DAVROS!

WHIP HIS BALLS WITH THE BUCKLE END OF YOUR BELT!

And you were suitably punished I hope?
The thing is that when you have parents like DG and Sweary who are open-minded, free-thinking and willing to give you some freedom in spreading your teenage wings, to repay them in such a way is downright despicable.

No, we weren't ever really punished beyond having a serious talk about stuff.
My parents were trendy liberals and we were left to do what we wanted, to quite an extent. I never got grounded - but then I never really got caught. Except for once when I had 15 foil-wrapped hash cakes in my wardrobe. Even then I was a criminal genius:

'Why have you got them, and in such large quantities?'

'I don't smoke, do I?'

Davros. Take a good look at Monty and his life.
If you don't crack down on SJ hard, this is what he will end up like.

That's a fair point.

I have already said in no uncertain terms
that I don't give a shit what he does when he leaves school, but doing nothing whilst living in our house is not an option.

As BGB says
We are quite liberal with him. Some of his mates are given a hard time by their parents for nothing; others parents just don't seem to give a shit either way. They all say they love coming to ours because of how relaxed it is, and this is our reward for being cool with them.

Little fuckstarts.

No, because I knew that I would be beaten from here until next Sunday if I did.
My Gran asked me to stay at hers while she was away for a couple of nights when I was 16 and said I could have a mate over as well. A bunch of people got wind of this; I found out, rang one of them and told him I wasn't staying over anymore because I new what would probably happen.

If he accidentally sets fire to the living room rug when he's fifteen years old.
Don't be too hard on him.

Hehe!
And how did you manage that?
( girlinthehole, Tue 31 May 2011, 14:57, Reply)

I went back in time in a Delorean
And got my parents together and then, as I was about go back to 1985 I remembered getting a bollocking so I thought I'd mention it, just in case they eased off a little.
