Why do parents keep snooping through their kids' lives every time they suspect there's a crush, but clam up when the kid has a question? Is it just my mom or is it everyone else's too?
For example:

Mom: so, anyone you like at school?
Me: Kind of... *resumes playing on computer*
Mom: Is he cute?
ME: :rolleyes:
Mom: Where's he live?
Me: <neighborhood near mine>
Mom: Oooh!
Me: :mad:
Mom: What?
Gaaah! Why does she keep asking me stupid questions like this, and mad because I don't answer, but she won't answer MY questions?! Here's another one:

Me: So, Mom, I was wondering about that HPV shot.
Mom: And?
Me: Well, I was just thinking, wouldn't it be safe to get it now, instead of waiting?
Mom: Uhh... we'll talk about that when you start... uh... yeah... *resumes driving*
Me: *thinking* Gah! Like I'm REALLY going to tell you! :mad: *on outside* *angsty sigh, eye roll*
Why does she keep doign this????? :headbang:

Does she ask you if you're homosexual after long periods of being single too? :D

Happens to me too. Why is it that our parents are so interested in our relationships? And don't give me the whole "They want to make sure you don't end up with the wrong people" speech. There are parents who know their kids make wise decisions, yet still feel as though they should be in every part of their child's romantic life. It's rather annoying.

Simple: Romantic Life will eventually equal new members of the family. They do not care about you. They care first and foremost about themselves, and who will have to be invited to their funerals, and whose funerals they will have to go to.

Wow, you're psychic :eek: Ialways make good decisions (okay, most of the time), and my mom worries about every guy I go out with and is afraid I won't catch on to "Sexual advances" :rolleyes: It's because I'm nowhere near as social as my sister. :mad: That's why "Waffle" can date 12 guys in one week and get no questions asked, and if I even date one every few months she gives me the 3rd degree!!!

Still annoying. :mad:

Also... I'm 14!!!!!! I don't need offspring!

This is more my scenario:

Mom: Like anyone at school?
Me: No.
Mom: Really?
Me: Yes.
Mom: Really?
Me: Yes, damn it!
*Beats my ass*
Me: Ow.

Still annoying. :mad:

Also... I'm 14!!!!!! I don't need offspring!She might not even be able to help it, it might be biologically induced. Mothers are like that, though. At least, as you said, you don't get asked whether you're interested in the same sex.

I got asked that once. My parents aren't big on me playing video games, so I usually went to my friends' houses to play video games. The majority of them were guys, so my mom thought I was gay. Wierdest moment ever.

I have a ceiling seperating me and her. A very thin ceiling.

Whenever my mom asked me about any girls at school, I would find away to ask my mom the same questions about the guys at her job. She has decided its not worth it to keep asking.:D

Welcome to life over the age of fourteen. They won't stop until you're married, and only then, once you've been happily married for three or more decades.

they are concerned for your well being. if you're going out with a person, they wanna know how serious you are and what kind of a person he/she is.

when you ask those "hard to answer" questions, it shows them that you are growing up and if there is one thing Parents HATE... it's evidence that their little babies are growing up.

Welcome to life over the age of fourteen. They won't stop until you're married, and only then, once you've been happily married for three or more decades.

and should you graduate and enter a career without a hint of a BF/GF...

then they pull in the Aunts and Uncles to question you...

and I speak from experience. :(


There is a way to stop the pestering... my sister and I use it alot...
"so when do we (your parents) get grandkids?"

We reply... "Is that what they want? don't need a GF/BF for that!"

You, and your mom, are both dealing with an incredible number of conflicting thoughts and feelings, including everything mentioned in the thread so far, and many more besides. If you haven't read it yet, get a copy of "Reviving Ophelia." Maybe even get two copies, and give one to your mom. The bottom line, the thing to keep in mind all the time, despite everything, is that your mother loves you, more than life itself. Sounds sappy, but it's the truth ;) It's the driving force behind her actions and questions. Just cut her a little slack once in a while. :cool:

As a parent who's been there I'll try to answer.

First, your parent has every right--NO--OBLIGATION to know everyone you will be spending time with. It is their duty to protect you in every way possible. At the same time they need to let you take a few bumps and make a few decisions. Each year from now on the bumps should be harder and the decisions more important. I just took my daughter to college and sat through 2 hours of "parent education" that said college students need to make their own decisions. To me it was a waste but many of the parents let it be known that they still made every decision and smoothed every bump.

My children grew in responsibility and freedom as the years went by, but I still knew things as important as who they were hanging out with, who was going to be at a party, what they were going to do, when I could expect them home, etc. Birds of a feather flock together, and if they started hanging with the slime I was going to know it. As I tell my children---A good reputation is hard to get, easy to lose, and almost impossible to recover. Because my children developed a good reputation, they got away with things at school and elswhere that those with a bad rep would get hammered for. Part of that rep is who you hang with.

As for the other part, it's hard to imagine a child as a sexual being. And in fact I'm very conservative in this area because one of my other sayings is---The longer into the future a decision may have an effect, the more time and consideration it should take. About the most serious decision a person can make is the decision to be sexual. Sex can effect things 100 years from now, as your grandchildren will be alive 100 years from now and how your children are raised will effect your grandchildren. Don't give me the crap about the pill or other birth control. Even though it says 99.9%, that is under ideal conditions. The true statistic is more than 50% of the babies born were conceived with birth control. Having said that, I don't believe medication will have a major effect on the decision of someone to be sexually active. A bottle of booze or fear of loss of a friend will have more effect. Statistically, women have more sex the less secure they are in a relationship, and less sex the more secure they are. That doesn't make it easier for a parent to talk about the subject.

My advice is to give your parents every reason to trust you (the rep thing) and go back to a sensitive subject later after they had time to give it some thought. I know I'm more ready to talk when something doesn't hit me out of the blue.

Awesome that is an excellent way to get parents off your back. I am so going to remember that. Thank you.:D

Stop talking to your folks.
Parents are retards you arent meant to talk to them.

Harlesy speaks truthfully. If you start cutting your parents out of your life now they'll be used to it by time you move out.

I for one never answer those questions and never bring any females home well I have brought people home but always to my room for drinking and other (though always on a Sunday when both parties are plastered God knows what my parents must think:D )

I usually bring women to a friends house so much more informal and less judging (also not my bed) and for the record yes I have had the “are you gay talk” expect it when your 15 and getting a lift somewhere with your mom my response was "so if your not a lesbian why does a happily married woman keep a dildo in her draw?" the questioning promptly ended with awkward silence

If my mom asks me if I'm gay, I'm gonna say "No," Then immediately follow with "I'm bi." It'll confuse her, I think.

Oh I solved this problem fine - just don't talk to your parents. Avoid them whenever possible - this goes for the rest of your family too - and spend time with friends. Simple.

you know what you should do? tell your dad that you need an appointment with the doctor to talk about "woman stuff" (believe me he won't ask what) and then when you get there ask your doctor about talking to your parents about the HPV shot. ;)

Also... I'm 14!!!!!! I don't need offspring!

Here in England you'd have at least three by now. Consider yourself lucky.

Wait, you're a girl?!

Hey, wanna date? Same age, both single! I love eligibility!

It's true! The Daily Mail said so!

No, the Daily Mail would have said that they were all conceived with a Muslim paedophile. Meanwhile, the Sun would have said that they were conceived with a paedophilic Muslim Big Brother contestant. Luckily the Independent is slightly more lucid.

And least its only your mum. I have the whole family on my back:

Mum: So still single?
Me:Yes
Mum: Anyone you fancy?
Me: Maybe
Mum: Who?
Me:You wouldn't know her.
Mum: So...
Me: Theres no point me telling you.
Mum: Okay
End Convo

Couple hours later
Some random uncle:Seeing anyone yet?
Me: No
Random uncle: Want me to hook you up with someone?
Me: No thanks
Random Uncle: You sure.I know this girl...
Me: No

End convo. Its always wise to generallyi ignore the girls my uncle tries to introduce to me. The last one didn't seem to be sane at all.

I like crazy women. Could he hook me up with a lady?

Be careful when romantically pursuing the deranged, for every kinky/violent-crazy woman there are at least 2 owns-1,000-cats-named-Elmer-type crazy women.
And, if you want your parents to get off your back about your relationships, you could always pretend to have some sort of sick fetish, voraphilia or furry are fairly common these days, but you could always go with one of the classics, like necrophilia.

It makes me 10x happier now that my dad is moving out and my mom works from 7AM-12AM, so basically it's like living on your own, only you don't have to pay for anything (w00t!)

But I do like furry pr0n!

Mum: Who was that guy who gave you a lift home?
Me: *Shrugs* Just a mate.
Mum: That was a nice car, is he well off?
Me: Yeah, so I've heard.
Mum: So what job does he do?
Me: He's a bank manager.
Mum: How old is he?
Me: Late thirties I guess.
Mum: Oh well, he's rich. You should ask him out.
me: *Sigh*

Seeing as everyone was giving an example of a conversation with their mother, I thought I'd join in. My mum is always trying to make me go out with a rich man. She keeps asking if i'm a lesbian as well, because I always have my friend over and we share a single bed. I suppose I am getting a little old for sleepovers, but nevermind, nothing is going on between us. My mum never believes me when I tell her something though, despite that I've always been honest about everything if she asks directly.

I hate my mum when she's being nosey and meddlesome. :gundge:

But I do like furry pr0n!

Erm no, sorry. I don't date guys off the internet. I'm all for being friends though. :)

Here is a more recent conversation:

Mom: So, who's the guy at <neighborhood>?
Me: :mad:
Mom: ...

All I need is a dirty look, but it's still annoying! :mad:

Tell her you prefer girls. Or dogs. Either is good.

:p

Feathery pr0n doesn't do it for you?

For me to get a date, much less an actual girlfriend is a rarity. (I only had three gf's in my life and I'm 22.) So for some reason whenever I get a date, or a girlfriend my parents act like it's Christmas. I usually just avoid telling them these things until I've been dating the girl for a good while, usually about 3 months.

Not really. Not unless it's hand-drawn.

I might actually be asexual. I haven't found any real person attractive since the third grade, but I don't know for sure yet.

You reproduce with yourself? I don't think your mother will approve.
Yes, I did just steal the joke from another thread. What of it?

Erm no, sorry. I don't date guys off the internet. I'm all for being friends though. :)

Great relationships happen over the internet, like that forty-year old woman and that guy. Didn't work out at the end with the body found in the base-

Then again, my mom doesn't approve of muc hwhen it comes to me or my sister's boyfriends, so he he :p

I just remembered the worst thing in my life I have near all you guys...my PASTOR!

Him: So, Daniel, do you have a girlfriend yet?
Me:...
Him: Please don't lie in the sight of the Lord
Me: *mumbles* no
Him: Oh, you should get one, come here boy *hugs me*
Me: *disgusted because he smells like rotten dog food & old instant noodles*

My parents aren't as bad as my grandparents were before my grandpa had his stroke. You got to understand that they were growing up and living most of their lives in the Jim Crow period.

GP: So got a girlfriend yet?
Me: Yea, she's really nice..etc..
GP: Is she white?
Me: Yea
GP: Good, it's not that we don't like black (not the actual word they use but eh) it's just that they know their place.

Luckily my grandpa had two strokes which basically turned him into a shell of his former self and my grandma is too tired from taking care of him to worry about who I date now.

Hmm yeah, I can't ask my mom about sex or birt hcontrol or anything either, even though it's just questions (not plannig on doing anything anytime soon!). I'm really not sure about asking anyone else, and I'm not too sure about the confientiality laws in Virginia (I live in NC but my mom's health insurance only covers VA doctors, not NC ones so we go up to this clinic in VA).

I think the confidentiality law has alot to do with your age. If your 18, then yea your parents can't look at your medical records without your consent, below that, they have open access.

Hmm yeah, I can't ask my mom about sex or birt hcontrol or anything either, even though it's just questions (not plannig on doing anything anytime soon!). Because you're afraid it might lead to more questions or because you're afraid she'd freak out and ground you?

A bit of both, though I don't think she'd ground me for mere curiosity. ^.^

My parents constantly question me about my relationships at school, even though they know I'm a total loner at school.

Mom: Are you attracted to anyone at school?
Me: No.
Mom: Why not?
Me: Because all of the girls there are either sluts, preps, or emos.
Mom: Well surely there's SOMEONE you like.
Me: No.
Mom: Anyone?
Me: No.
Mom: ANYONE?!
Me: NO!

After the seven thousandth time my grandmother asked me that (when I was not dating anyone) and at my sister in law's bridal shower, I lost it. The shower was in a Chinese restaurant, so I pointed to the waiter and said, "Ok, fine, how about him? Help me clear the table off and I'll get right on it."

You don't even want to know what the drive back home with my mom was like.

Why would they grow on someone's chest though?

Ah, but don't think it gets any better if you do have a relationship and it ends rather messily. Apart from the usual, I had the wonderful opportunity of sitting next to my Grandma as she told a former colleague of hers on the first day of my internship at that company how I'd been depressed because of my gf, what anti-depressants I took, and so on...
Of course, this wasn't the only person she told, and she'd always tell it in a manner that other grandparents talk about how their children did in school or what (mis)adventures they had when they were little.

Heh, I'm 14 too and my parents are the exact opposite. Being your standard boring, quiet, somewhat intellectual, nerdy teenager, I don't think the concept of me being in a relationship has ever crossed their minds. They're not raving 'OMG ABSTINENCE' lunatics, but I think they'd have a stroke simply from shock if I ever suggested I had a girlfriend. Which is absolutely fine, since I don't. *hint hint ;) *

Poo.... I need a man....

My parents constantly question me about my relationships at school, even though they know I'm a total loner at school.

Mom: Are you attracted to anyone at school?
Me: No.
Mom: Why not?
Me: Because all of the girls there are either sluts, preps, or emos.
Mom: Well surely there's SOMEONE you like.
Me: No.
Mom: Anyone?
Me: No.
Mom: ANYONE?!
Me: NO!

*Leads to arguement about me raising my voice at her.*

Is it okay to ask about Elizabeth?:confused:
