Fresh from the Gogglebox sofa, Sara and Clare are back in the Teen Commandments shed trying to work out the mind-bending behaviour of teenagers.  This week Sara’s been spotted whilst heading off on a romantic jaunt in Italy, Clare’s been rustling up a curry and they’ve both discovered Mother Root.  The male teens in their lives have had an eventful week. Sara’s son was heading off to a fancy dress party and Clare’s son was supposed to be hosting a Love Island party.  There’s talk of teenage hairstyles and Clare has breaking news from the hairdressing world… perms are back and it’s not just for the girls.  The long summer nights are firmly here, which means the teens are pushing the boundaries and trying to stay out as late as possible.  Email Sara and Clare with your terrible teen hairstyles, and have your teen boys got a perm?

We’ve dived back into the inbox and there’s some absolute corkers from you!   In this ‘Your Turn’ a teen steals from mum’s snack stash so she’s getting sweet revenge by spilling the beans on how their family’s ‘Ask Me Anything’ policy led to red faces all round…   Another mum introduces us to the ‘chocolate fairy’ - a wholesome tradition or something that belongs on Urban Dictionary?   During recording Clare gets a LIVE text from her teen. What madly urgent request could he possibly have?   And as ever we’re never far from a bit of chat about mums and their not-so-secret stash of massage wands. #IYKYK    Email us at [email protected]    Follow us on Instagram: @djsaracox, @clarehamilton__  Visit www.theteencommandments.co.uk  Teen Commandments is a Sara Cox Production   Teen Commandments is bought to you by Wild Nutrition.
