Something nice...

[helenwyler]

Something nice has happened in our family this week:)!

My youngest daughter (17) has got a boyfriend! He seems nice...friendly, polite, her age, and she's very happy. All well and good so far.

Now she's never been the tidiest of girls - her room is usually the proverbial 'pigsty'. Think messy teenagers and add a few 00s on for her:eek:!!

BUT for the last few weeks (since the boyfriend's been on the scene) she been very industriously tidying, bringing down plates and cups, putting up photos on the wall, hanging up clothes...

It's a bloomin' miracle!! I sometimes just peek in her room to see if it's really true..........and it is!!

What nice things have happened to you recently?

Yip Helenwyler I can identify with this one!My son has a room like a tip but everytime the girlfriend is coming to visit the room gets a good clean out lol!It's a great thing eh? :) x

[Rheghead]

And there was me thinking that girls are tidier than boys. There goes another misconception of mine blown out of the water.:D

[helenwyler]

It certainly is a great thing Thumper!

I'm temporarily walking on air[lol]!!

Cannot see any "floor" in either of my daughters rooms, one with steady boy friend other without, so theory slightly flawed.
HOWEVER, when this steady boyfriend was "new" her room was immaculate for his visits.

Glad I'm not the only one with a teenage daughter that when i open her bedroom door all i can see is plates/mugs/glasses/clothes and not the carpet! She will sometimes put some effort in and i see about 2 square foot of carpet but it soon gets buried again lol .... i just leave her to it, she's the one that has to do it when i blow my stack :lol:
and to get back on topic ... i was at a meeting wednesday evening and was not in my work clothes and got told how different i looked :)

Hi Folks,

If a brand new boyfriend is all that's needed to make someone tidy could someone fix my husband up with a nice young man?;)

Maybe not![lol]

Yep, girls are allowed to be 'equally' untidy these days Rheghead:eek:.

Be careful what you wish for karia[lol]!

[Ricco]

Ah, her mindset is changing. Soon she will be suggesting changes to the house and showing her own degree of maturity. The poor lad is doomed! ;)

Even at 17, I wasn't allowed boyfriends in my room!!! (Unless I sneaked them in and out while the parents were out at work anyway)

Hopefully not MISS K, but I did:confused

Neither was I Hobbes1962!!

We have had what they call 'a full and frank exchange of views' on the matter:roll:, so she knows what we expect and don't expect, and I'm at home too when they are. I find that they prefer to be 'out' most of the time anyway...


P.S. Has nobody else had something nice happen recently???
