5 THINGS YOU MAY NEVER HEAR FROM YOUR TEEN

·       Is my music too loud?

·       Wow it’s 9 o’clock – I’d better go to bed!

·       New movies aren’t cool – lets watch a Doris Day classic

·       There’s nothing to eat here – let me go out & buy something for the whole family

·       You relax – I’ll do the dishes

5 things your mum never wants to hear

·       Mum, I’ve just got 3 new dragon tatts … to go with the Jolly Roger tatt on my back

·       Mum, I wrote off your car … again!

·       Mum, I’ve got my 16 yr old girlfriend pregnant … again

·       Mum, I decided not to buy that V8 Commodore, I’m getting Kawasaki 1000cc motorbike

·       Mum, we’re moving to Iceland for 5 yrs … & yes we are taking the grandkids

5 things your mum loves to hear

I’m sorry – apologies build bridges, mend broken hearts

I’m home – mum loves having the kids around, make your home a haven for your kids we created a place where kids could bring their friends

You are the best Mum in the whole world – telling someone they’re special

What do you think about that? Mum’s love it when their kids ask their advice Tatts

I love you – love must be spoken to be known

Let me pay for lunch – generosity breeds generosity

Just let me turn my phone off before we start chatting – connection requires focus

Here’s a little something I bought you (it’s not my b’day/mums day) it’s a special surprise – took Di’s Mum to Canada – Di’s lovely gift for her mum
