OP here. I also do not answer them if they yell across the house. But they still say my name all the freaking time. And I am divorced. Nobody to outsource stuff to here.

You're only just now noticing?
Let me guess. You're the type of family who was never actually in the house all at the same time before the pandemic...

Let me guess, you are an ass? No, we are not just noticing but only commenting on a thread. Commiserating with other parents, if you will. I rather say it here than make my kids feel bad. |

I think I hear, "Mom!" more from my DH than my kids. All day long.
I'm ready for this vaccine to be administered in my eyeballs to escape this. |

My HS-age kid only wants 3 square meals. Or so he says. He actually wants 3 gourmet meals. His pet phrase is "Surprise me". He wants food that has been labored over and that is not a repeat of something he ate a week ago. Also, presentation is important. Oh, and he does not do fast food. No, no. That is ' too unhealthy and has fake meat and GMO' this and that. If it is "take out" he wants from a "proper" restaurant and he wants variety and a "feast" of dishes - from appetizers to dessert. He also gives his expert opinion on the food. Maybe he will grow up to be Tom Siestema or something. But in the meanwhile, I wonder if he is being paid by my MIL, who has similar exacting culinary standards especially when she used to visit us, to keep me on my toes.
I endure all of this because in all other ways he is fantastic and super helpful. I am teaching him to cook too because I don't want my DIL to get annoyed with his demands. |

| I got a lot of laughs out of this thread. I only have one DS, 5. Got some good tips- love the reverse allowance. But what's the husband equivalent for that? |

I respectfully disagree that being a parent to a teenager should be all hands and attention on deck 24/7. These are not 2 year olds who might tip over a bookcase or touch a stove. They need to take ownership of their home and where things are located and figure some ish out for themselves if they are calling "MOM!!!!!" every 20 minutes |

My kids showed me a TikTok of a mom showing everyone how to do basic things like changing the toilet paper rolls and the kids were taking notes. I picture your tour like the TikTok. Please record it! |

Exactly. If the kids want TP, they can fill it. My 9th grader asked me if we had a protractor in the house. The 12th grader hasn't asked for anything. What are kids demanding? |
