So, my B/F (aka Dad) came home last night after being gone for 3 weeks on business. The 18 y/o son (aka King Party) and the 15 y/o son (aka Prince Party) met us at the house. We had quite the talk with both of them.
Apparently, they had been cleaning all day and thought they did a good job. What they didn't know was that using furniture oil on the hardwood floors would make a bad situation worse. The floors are a MESS! They have to be cleaned again and waxed and buffed. Gah!
Things are turning up missing or broken every time we turn around. Small things like glassware, to big things like my cashmere blanket (it was a gift from my B/F this past Christmas - something I asked for. It is quite expensive, and the boys have no idea yet how upset I am), The carpet has burn holes and the whole carpet needs to be replaced. My robe is gone, the sprinkler heads are broken (cars drove over them), the pub table top had something very sticky on it and the boys scrubbed it until it was ruined, the coffee table, ditto. Both need to be refinished. Ummm, what else? Oh, hole in the wall where someone put a fist into it, a chair and ottoman needs to be recovered as there are burn holes in them, all the fabric covered furniture needs to be cleaned as they apparently had a baby oil wrestling match and then the kids sat on the furniture with oil all over themselves! (Sounds like a fun party, eh?)
Today, the B/F and I are off to price carpeting.
Stay tuned, I'm sure there's more to this story!
Signed,
Glad To Have My B/F home :-) 7

So, yah, the baby oil wrestling was a great idea. They put an inflatable pool the size of a king size bed on top of the king size bed and poured two cases (we found the empty bottles) of baby oil into it. They also had a stripper pole installed in the family room.
So, this is what kids do today?? Wow! I went to a lot of parties in HS and College, but never like this one!!

I have been looking on YouTube to see if someone has posted a video. No such luck yet, but I'm looking!

Nah, I think they rented those. Probably from the same guy who would sell you the 1K astroturf... ahem, carpet.

Ah, my teenage son probably would've like to do something like that too. However, I guess he'll have to wait until college because he fears my wrath... which I'm not sure why. Other than the damage and MAYBE the stripper pole, I wouldn't be opposed to it! Heck, I'd probably even help set one up and run things. I... would have to to make sure it wouldn't get out of line... which is probably also why he wouldn't want me involved. Dad is too anal and uncool.
By the way, as a guy, I whole-heartedly approve of installing stripper poles as a legitimate form of cardiovascular workout. Seriously! Pole dancing take a lot of acrobatics and fitness to do well. Why are you looking at me like that?
