A mum’s tongue-in-cheek Facebook post about her teenage son and his mood swings has gone viral.

Ella Brookbank was so fed up of her son Bradley’s mood swings she posted a ‘free to a good home’ advert on the Wilmslow Mums' group.

The mum-of-two wrote: “Teenager - 14 years old - but thinks he’s 32 - could pass for 4 though.......

“Free to a good loving home, after all we only want the best don’t we.”

The mum-of-two went on to describe in detail some of her adolescent’s ‘qualities.’

She added: “Qualities include door slamming, wearing battered looking trainers in the house, spending more time on his hair than his showers, mood swings, not having the energy to hoover his room but having the energy to skateboard.

“He is polite enough but be wary about taking him out in public - because although he is used to people, you never can tell whether he’ll have a good enough social responce to any situation - a soft grunt now covers most basic conversations - followed by the dreaded eye roll.”

And it seemed Ella’s ‘advert’ struck a chord with other mums...sparking of hundreds of shares and comments in response.

One other mum wrote: “Um! Same in my house, same age but different sex and double the hormones! Plus a ton of makeup just to walk the dog.”

Ella, 30, added: “When I made the post public I got loads of responses. All sorts of people have shared it.

“It was just a bit of a laugh really but I think a lot parents could relate to it.

“Usually people only post about the perfect moments on Facebook and sometimes you just feel like saying, actually I’ve had a really bad day with my kids.

“I should say I’ve got lovely kids and that my son’s behaviour isn’t malicious or anything like that. I’m very lucky...he can just be a very moody teenager at times.

“I just thought I’d post something about it.

“Loads of other people with teenagers said they had a similar experiences.”

Luckily Bradley saw the humorous side too.

The 14-year-old said: “I thought it was pretty funny to be fair.

“Some of my friends had sent me a Snapchat of the post.

“I don’t think I’m that moody though.”
