Find my daughters manners as she seems to have lost them ????

If anyone finds them can you please return them so I can ram them straight down her throat !!!


** there I feel better now for sharing my anger over my daughters lost manners **

There should be a help group for parents of children who have lost their manners, don't you think? lol

Has she retraced her steps Jessie? Perhaps a notice in the post office window (if you've still got a post office)

A help group would be great, we could all take turns working in shifts to try and find the lost manners.............

Wonder if all the lost manners come together in one place, would make searching easier if they were all together lol

How old is she Maddie?

PMSL...................A sign would be great, I may text her now and ask if she has rung the police to inform them that she has lost her manners maybe someone has handed them in lol

Sorry, your Maddie's Mate Jessie aren't you?

She's 16 and in the Navy................Knows it all of course, she's not a child you know!! lol.........

I rang to see if she had arrived back safely after a five hour train journey, only to be told

" Mum I'm busy, I haven;t got time to talk to you now"
Mmmm too busy to tell me she arrived back safely after spending a weekend in a HOTEL that is called home to me and you lol



May - I'm Maddies mate the first lol, just added Jessie after my lovely Nan who passed when I was 10

Could you not put up a advert in the lost and found in your local rag? lol Annie

Hi Jessie,

My daughter had her stolen several months ago, no sign of them, went to lost and found depot, thousands of teenage manners in their waiting to be claimed, but not my daughers :O( so there must lots of parents out there still looking for their kids manner ;O)

You could always text her and ask if she knows where her polite daughter has gone!!
Failing that, just ask her who or what you are and where you would find some antihistamine cream - when you last looked in a mirror you were a caring parent - now you seemed to have turned into an irritation. LOL

Have you tried " Daughter, I' m busy! I haven't got time to wash your clothes now"? This may prompt her to intensify her search for her manners.

Maggie pmsl, I'am an irritation and so is OH where she is concerned, how dare we worry, how dare we care .................. she doesn't even care that her manners have been left somewhere and she doesn't realise how important is is that she finds them ASAP. after all OH and Me took years to make sure they were correct .......... and she goes and loses them without a care in the world

I'm just imagining all the lost manners in a bus shelter, huddling together for warmth and swapping stories of their careless owners. lol

Lol Helen, bus shelters makes me think maybe the manners go down to the trainer, that is then thrown on top of the bus shelter.

If that's the case, all we have to do is retreive these poor trainers and release the manners!!!

That's certainly a thought Maggie. lol

pmsl, bus shelters lol, or perhaps they lost them in their mobile phones lol

Will ask her to look the text section of her mobile as that is where she spends most of her time and perhaps they slipped in whilst she was otherwise engaged

My daughter's not too bad but I do sometimes have to remind her she's talking to her mother and not one of her mates, like when she answers a question with the phrase 'nah, like!'

I work in a library and we have a fair few of these teenagers who suffer from this affliction, although many of them have had it all their lives.

Ahhh Jo ...love the joys of a 16 year old......of course I was one and yep like your girl knew it all...lol
