This was a post I made on Facebook last year that ended up having over 150 comments. These still stand true (please
Know that I adore my son but he makes me nuts sometimes! Lol)
Please read and add your own 😉
These are some things I will do when Camden has his own home and I go to visit:
*Throw bags of chips on to the counter from across the room
* Leave socks around
*Eat all the items from a box and then put the empty box back in the pantry
*Never finish an entire box of cereal or bag of chips. I WILL leave <1/4 cup of any dry good in an open bag so it goes stale and start a new one so nothing totally finished is thrown away
*Wait until he would like to leave to go somewhere and then decide there are three things that MUST be found before I leave-but I will only know where one of them is
*Say “hold on” when it is clear he would like to go somewhere with urgency, and then slowly roll like a slug off the couch or decide that is when I should carry the dog around
Any additions for your kids?
And yes-I adore Camden and enjoy plotting my irritation revenge. I look forward to watching him be an exasperated dad one day! 💕

Ha, ha, ha - I'll play:
- leave my shoes in front of the door for the next person coming in to trip over them
- leave dirty, unrinsed dishes spread over the counter
- put things away in random spots in the kitchen (never where I found them)
- borrow earbuds and chargers never to be returned

I will tell him at 10pm that I need xyz printed by the next morning, and of course I will have no idea how to make that happen (by then I’ll be old and hopefully he’ll have finally adjusted to technology enough that he might understand since now at age 17 I’m still his tech support 🙄)
When I visit yds I won’t eat anything he fixed for dinner and expect him to serve me freshly made noodles with butter and a pear, cut of course, and then refuse to eat it because it has a brown spot on the skin 🤦🏻♀️

my son's house? theoretically cook and not clean up a single pot or pan, but I'm sure it would only piss off whomever he lives with so probably i shouldn't.
My DD ill try to be on good behavior because she tries now.
I already told them I'm making them drive me everywhere.

Well upon arrival I would turn on every light in the house and then hop in the shower for a very very long shower. Once that was done I would open every box and bag in the pantry and leave it that way. Oh and I would absolutely refuse to put anything in his dishwasher.

My kids will pack me lunches of foods that I like and then I'll forget to take them with me. I'll then complain when I get home that I'm really hungry because I didn't eat lunch.
I'm also going to bug my kids to get me a dog to play with while I'm there. I will promise to help care for it. But I won't. When they ask me to take the dog for a walk I'll be way too tired.

talk at the top of my lungs
interrupt everybody - constantly
slyly pinch/push/touch the person next to me at the dinner table and then scream "I DIDN'T DO IT!"
leave. shit. everywhere. not literal shit - but you can bet my shoes are never getting put away
hair everywhere. I'll go buy a bag at a salon and just toss it like confetti. Then - when asked to not comb my hair at the table I'll roll my eyes so hard and say wwwhhhhyyyy?
"lose" everything
break a few things
push all the buttons on all the things
shall I throw my coat on the counter, the couch or the table? This I will have to decide when the time comes. Never the rack. It's lava.
Move slower than a snail and insist that we be late to ALL the things- my "hustle" will be repaid by needing a drink of water and by having to go to the bathroom regardless of how much warning I had that we were leaving.
I'm going to insist that I can't live without my water bottle and require 200 water bottles ready to go at all times - and don't think I'll accept them without the perfect (PERFECT!) water to ice ratio.
When I get out of the bath-- water everywhere- it's going to be spectacular! Did you need a new ceiling in the kitchen? No? Neither did I. Then I'll decide if I'll run around naked pretending to be deaf or just not speaking english while said child yells at me to go get some clothes on.
Lights on in every room at every moment. I will wake in the middle of the night just to turn the lights on.

My boys are moving out at the end of the month. They are full grown men. Really the only thing they do that irritates me is ask me when dinner is (imagine chirping baby birds) even on Tuesdays and Thursdays that they already KNOW is make you own damn dinner night. Oh, they are also horrible at wiping off a counter. They do it, but mostly smear more than clean.

I love my boys dearly and they are amazing kids ... but.
One particularly exasperating day, I calmly told my boys that when they grow up, I'm going to visit and leave food wrappers all over the living room (or whatever room I'm not supposed to eat in), I'll make sure to leave bits of food on my plate and then dump it in the sink, open multiple bags of food and eat most of the contents but then leave them wide open so the remainder is no good for anyone else. Hmmm ... I'll also leave all of my dirty laundry in a heap at the end of my bed and then run around in a panic when I need to go to an event and blame my child for the item not being clean. I'll need to spread enough toothpaste around the sink every time I brush my teeth to make sure that it is well coated. And I'll definitely need to look at them in total shock when they ask me to clean up my mess. Because of course, I didn't make it 🤣🤣🤣
After me sharing this bit of news, they all looked at me with a shocked look on their face and then my 9 year old announced that he wont tell me where he lives. Bahahah!!

I'm throwing an 18 gallon Rubbermaid tote full of legos all over his house.
I'm going to make fluffed nutter sandwiches and make sure that the fluff jar has more fluff on the outside than the inside.
I'm going to let my laundry pile up and up till I'm wearing dirty clothes and eyeroll ds when he suggests I do laundry for everyone's sake.
I'm going to wake him every morning by begging for a ride.
And I'm going to crawl on top of him and lay like a lump and tell him I love him to the moon and back.

I don't have kids but if my mother were posting in response to this, she would tell you that she would drink only half a can of soda and leave the other half sitting around on the table or wherever. And then even though the one on the table is still kinda cold, she would open a new one and repeat.

Immediately upon arrival, I will open my suitcase and carryon and unload them in foyer, living room, dining room, and hallway. I will use the pretense of digging out the gifts that I've brought, but really, I'll just be marking my territory by sprinkling my belongings evenly throughout the house. I will sit in my armchair wearing headphones (so as not to miss one.single.moment of my favorite YouTuber), and I will yell, "I THINK THE DOG NEEDS TO GO OUT!!!" and I will (minimally) feign deafness or (maximally) throw a snorting, hair-flipping temper tantrum when my child suggests that perhaps I should take the dog outside. I mean, really. I was in the MIDDLE of a really good episode. I will eat the last veggie burger, frozen waffle, or frozen breakfast sandwich, but I will be sure to leave the empty box in the freezer so that when my child peeks in the freezer to see what's needed from the grocery, they will be totally hoodwinked into thinking the freezer is well-stocked. HA! Thanks for the laughs, ladies! I have been sitting at my desk guffawing over these.  |

You just described my 15 year old DS. I just have to add throw apple cores in the waste basket in his room and wonder why we have fruit flies . Yuck! |

DD is 30 and has been on her own for almost 5 years now, though she lives close by. She keeps her own apartment spotless!  But for some unknown reason, she reverts to a 12 year old the minute she walks in our door. For revenge I'd love to: * Leave at least 12 partially full water bottles all over the bedroom. * Pile wet towels on the hardwood floor. * Leave all the hair appliances plugged in on the bathroom counter - then leave the house. * Put a sweaty water glass on top of the newest magazine on the coffee table. * Unfold all the throw blankets, then leave them in a tangled mess on the sofa. * Turn on the tv, raise the volume, then sit there with my head in my phone and ignore said tv. * Leave ice cream bowls/spoons on the coffee table Then I'd pick up my purse and go home...leaving all those messes for her to clean up!  |

And then even though the one on the table is still kinda cold, she would open a new one and repeat. I think when my mom comes she is secretly getting her revenge. She eats chips in the guest room bed, leaves 1/2 cups of coffee around, and leaves magazines and sections of the newspaper around. She never knows where she has left her things when she needs them so that we can never leave when we need to. It makes me insane!!!! Lol |

Very Funny.
I will yammer on and on and on and on and on and on for hours and hours about shit my kid doesn't know about or care about.
I will drink enough cups of tea and eat enough bowls of cereal that EVERY SINGLE mug and bowl in the house will be dirty and in my room!
I will roll my eyes at everything my daughter says and pretend that I am listening.

True story. When I flew up to see son number two off on his first deployment with the Navy, we sat up late at his apartment talking the night before. I stood up to go to bed and heard him sort of clear his throat. I looked back quizzically and he nodded his head toward my wine glass on the coffee table and asked, "Are you just going to leave that there?" After all those years of picking up after his little messy-Marvin self, nagging him, begging him, and generally waiting hand-and-foot on him... NOW it takes and he decides to be all particular about his own place? Part of me was humorously aggravated and part of me was absolutely delighted that all those years of beating my head against the wall FINALLY paid off.  |

Love love love this thread!
I am going to wear shoes with no socks and run around and make my feet smell the most disgusting they possibly can and then enclose myself in the car with my son and put my stinky smelly feet up on the dashboard and put Footprints all over my mirror and when the smell gets so awful I will tell him people can't die of smells.

I will stand in front of the open refrigerator and hope that something good will magically appear.
I will set up the DVR to record a bunch of stuff that he won't like and that I'll never watch.
I will get up an hour before he needs to get up and not be as quiet as I can be while frying something for breakfast.
I will not clean up the greasy mess from aforementioned breakfast.
And I will always park my car in a spot where it will be in the way.
