well, it looks like I've Killed your thread. Soz Maddies mate. Night all.
x

That sounds like what my mam used to say. I'm nice to my parents now. I respect them and have time for them even if I don't always agree with them There's hope although I am nearly 40 so you might have to wait a bit. lol
The only reason I rarely got a smack is that I was a good runner.

It's respect as well I still call people older than me Mr or Mrs and I haven't been a teenager for along time.

Helen S...............If you asked my friends what she was like they would say

Polite, friendly, funny, helpful, chatty........infact their description of her makes me wonder if I have another daughter that only my friends can see lol

Stan, that is why they lose them because they can't have a smack for losing them...............I remember losing mine and getting a right smack off my Dad lol, and guess what I found them.................I hadn't really lost them I had just put them down and forgot to pick them back up................I have never put them down since !!

I was a nightmare teenager to my parents but alright with other people. Is yours like that maddies mate?

If we could go back 30 years then you could smack her a--- .then she would find them.

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

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.

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!'

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

That's certainly a thought Maggie. 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!!!

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

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

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.

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

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)

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

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
