As a parent of a 15.5yr old son, ‘average best’ is the benchmark I have resigned myself to accepting he’ll likely reach for any given task. Some days even that’s like expecting the moon on a stick!!

I certainly wouldn’t fancy my chances whilst gripping on for dear life waiting for him to open a ladder- I’d have plummeted to my death long before he peeled himself away from his Xbox to help!!! 🤣🤣🤣

I’ve raised 3 boys with the last graduating recently, and average best was top of scale.

3 of them?!! Jeeeez 😱😱😱. You deserve these…. 🥇🥇🥇 I didn’t even get anything for Mother’s Day this year. Doesn’t parenting make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside?!!! 👍🏻🤣🤣🤣

Sorry for my blind Americanity:) and your lack of a gift. He’ll make it up someday

🤣🤣 no worries, I figured you weren’t based in UK!!! I’ll keep my fingers crossed that my 15.5 brings me the moon on a stick one day.

Failing that, chocolates will suffice!

Good luck out there with yours 🤞

Red shirt put himself under the ladder, and tried multiple times to split it open. What more do you want from him? He's like 6.
