he kitchen looks like a battlefield, Tikkies fly around your ears and the bathroom is a disaster zone. Meanwhile, we are being called ‘delulu’. Although we still don’t quite understand what that means. One thing is certain: with teenagers in the house it is never boring. They worry about their first pubic hair and cry when their eyebrows are uneven. But at the same time they consider themselves very grown‑up. Because working? They can easily do that. And even filing taxes works. Only the laundry… they still throw it next to the laundry basket.

Now that they are a bit older, you get new challenges for free. From secretly vaping in the bike shed to a creaking bed in the room next to yours. Unfortunately, those hormonal housemates don’t understand why we have a problem with that. And we as parents don’t understand them either.

Tis Hier Geen Hotel 3 is a feast of recognition for anyone who has a teenager in the house – or has ever been a teenager themselves.
