he's finally been going out with a girl for more than a week - long enough to ask her to the prom and now after a conversation about money and affording to hire limos etc. hes going to bring his girlfriend round
"funny you asked that mum" he said " she said she wanted to meet you!"

oh my god - surely i shouldn't feel nervous at the thought of a 15/16 year old meeting me.

i hope she calls me mrs custardo. ha ha haa haa

i have no baby pictures but am thinking of anserin the door in a red wig.

my "towny" boy is going out with a goth who would like him to wear a purple shirt to the prom. - ahh well

well you know WHY she said she wanted to meet you? Because he was talking about you, must have been nice things for her then to be wanting to come home with him. So she'll be eager to please you to up the brownie points with him...

I reckon 'I'm so looking forward to being a grandma' is better than the red wig...

lilibet · 01/11/2005 19:50

Be nice to her!!

Imagine if it was your daughter going to meet a hellmouthcusty!

Althought I appreciate that she could never be good enough for him, I know my ds's girlfriends won't be!

Adn let us know what she's like.

Gobbledispook · 01/11/2005 19:51

OMG, I dread these days

Mine, I'm sure, will stay this sweet and innocent forever and only love their mummy

motherinferior · 01/11/2005 20:05

Get the knitting needles out and lying around...

weesaidie · 01/11/2005 20:20

Oooh when my then 15 now 16 yr old brother got his first proper girlfriend it was fantastic, so funny. He is still with her (nearly a year later) and man is she too good for him! She is slumming it...

Although it did get weird when he asked for advice about the pill and told me how nervous he was his 'first time!'

Tortington · 02/11/2005 00:45

he was on the phone to her for 2 hours tonight!! i have high expectations of Goths she had better live up to them.

i told him that she couln't go up to his room. when he asked why - i said "'cos your not shaggin' in my house"

after what was a really unconvincing denial that it would ever happen all i could manage was
" bollocks, me & your dad were shaggin at yer nannas when she went to the shop with grandad - in his bunk bed!"

"MUM!" he said " thats too much information!"
"what?" says i " you don't think you were an immaculate conception do yer?"
" OH MY GOD ..i don't wanna know" says he.

this is THE best part of parenting a teenager - the squeem factor - and boy.... have i got a lot to get my own back for.

Oh custy, you do make me laugh

When my boys are teenagers I'll be thinking of you and your quotes. God, I hope my memory hold out that long.

Hope you don't mind being put on a pedestal like this

auntymandy · 02/11/2005 06:29

my son has just announced he has a girlfriend. I have met her before but it was when I was in a blu rage because he had disappeared!! Apparantly I locked the door so she couldnt walk home alone in the dark and drove her home!!!

winnie · 02/11/2005 07:15

Custy this thread has made me smile. Thank you

harpsichordcarrier · 02/11/2005 07:45

lol custy
yes there is nothing finer than embarrassing teenagers is there? I had three of my nieces (14/15)in the back of my car in the summer and I was telling them that we conceived dd at the Reading Festival.
they were all - ewwwwwwwwww!
also, dancing and singing in public, that's always good for humiliating them.
or turning up to give them a lift dressed in some sort of embarrassing head gear, pref knitted.

Stilltrue · 02/11/2005 11:55

So sweet that she wants to meet you!

Tortington · 02/11/2005 20:41

PMSL.

You could leave a packet of "Tenalady" out on view too. Maybe next to the kettle or something.

Mum2girls · 02/11/2005 20:44

I can't wait to find out how this goes...

LadyTophamHatt · 02/11/2005 20:48

i've been waiting all day for custy to post on here again...I can't wait for the after visit run down either.

When is she coming?

Mum2girls · 02/11/2005 20:49

Dunno - at the moment, she's obviously teetering in like Mrs Overall with tea and fancies....

LadyTophamHatt · 02/11/2005 20:50

Oh no, the girlfriend I mean....custy just posted a few below us.

Mum2girls · 02/11/2005 20:52

OMG, Custy is still with her, obviously well into the safe sex talk now....

Tortington · 03/11/2005 22:16

took her home at 9.30 so not long got back.

well, splashed out on the meal.... ok i made hotdogs. over dinner i nochalantly mentioned that ds was an altar server when he was younger which made her laugh
"mum you promised you wouln't embarrass me " says ds seriously.
"wait til i get round to the safe ex talk says i!"
she put her hand over her face and ds looks upwards - like the god hes proclaimed he doesn't belive in is going to help him now!

so we finished tea and watched a bit of telly - nothing was on. i go to the back door for a ciggy, he comes in and asks if they can go to his room.
"no"
"whynot"
"no shaggin in my house"
"muuuuuuuuum"

so i announce that we will all partake in a game of poker "do you know how to play?" i asks girlfriend
"no"
"great, have you bought some money?"
"errrr yes?"
" lonvley" says i" right love" i turn to dh" it looks like we will be up some cash this evening!"

eventually we set down to playing poker - a nice wholesome game obviously. we get out the pennies from the jar - much to her relief.

as we all sat round the table i ask " do you know everyone?"
"errrr"

" we are a pretty infomral family " says i " i will allow you to call me MRs. Custardo. He is mr custardo."
" errrrrr"

my ds genuinley beat us all and took our money. hes never ever won before. so we moved on to a game of knuckels - or chase the ace. it was down to either me or the gilrfriend to get the knuckles. and it was ds who was giving them - unfortunaltey i lost.

then we watched more telly. and i dropped her off.

it was awkward - i tried to ask her stuff, music and such but am aware i sound like an old fart trying to be young - so i dismiss that line of enquiry even though she likes iron maiden and such.

it was ok in parts. she invited him to her house tomorrow - but hes grounded again til next saturday

we looked up prom cars and she showed me her prom dress from fairygothmother.co.uk
tried finding a decent 50 cent stylee pimp suit for my ds which is what he wants - without any luck.

on the way home she annouces shes going to teach her mum how to play poker - result!

shes not an obvious slut type with over gelled hair - thats a bonus.
