What would you do if

You had 3 teenagers (late teen) who all had GF's and brought them round all the time, we did have a rule once in week and once at weekend BUT that's it working - it could still work out 6 out of 7 days we have someone in, it's not ideal.... Me and OH work all week and don't want people in all weekend - we need some downtime but want to be fair as well. One of the teens has been seeing his OH for a while and she is lovely, one for about 3 months and she isn't so lovely and the last teen for only a few weeks....any ideas to keep the family happy

Bed and breakfast at the weekend? For you of course...

Have them all over at the same time a couple of times a week? Then you will have a couple of days to yourself. Of course that's dependant on your space and whether they will be sitting in bedrooms etc.

So set a couple of days a week that you and the OH can have to yourself and say they are welcome to come at other times.

I agree with mazza111, discuss with your sons about the days when their GFs are welcome to come and visit. It is nice to get to know people who are involved with your sons but not to the point where your life and home isn't your own.

Make sure that there is some down time for you and your OH, to just have some peace and quiet and enjoy having your home to yourselves.

As mature young men I am sure your sons will respect this. Roll on summer when the weather is better and they can all be off out somewhere nice enjoying themselves hey.

Have really noisy sex all weekend - they will soon find reasons to give you space!

Thanks, have been thinking of saying no one allowed on certain days .... What to do lol

Could you give them 4 days they are allowed to come round but still stick to the 1 weekday 1 weekend?

That way they are only allowed round on one weekend so you still get 1/2 days of the weekend and you could pick 2 days during the week where its just you guys (so you'd always get a full 3 days off and one being the weekend!)

I would say just ban them on weekends cause its easier but I bet thats when they want them round the most as well!!

Good luck x

E: Guessing they all still live with u?

midnightraven3

also has 3 teens
so i know how it is to have a house full

they way i see it?
one day they will all be gone
i enjoy every minute i can, i love the hustle & bustle, and feeding them all:D

OP - I feel your pain! With 4 socialable offspring, there were never less than 6 teenagers at any time in our home, weekends, high days and holidays included!

But the crowded house doesn't last for long ....now, I can go all over the weekend without having anyone around (although they will all talk on phone/skype) - and I would change places with you in a heartbeat if I could return to those days! Relish them - soon all will be quiet!

If they're late teens can they not go out at the weekend and hang out somewhere? Or send them to their girlfriends' houses.

dottyanne

Yes they all still live at home, they do go the the GF's houses as well, in fact they are either there or here they never seem to go anywhere like we had to !! OH has a stressful job and it gets him down more than me sometimes, its hard trying to keep everyone happy
