Love Sucks, Adults Don't Cry

[the_wanlorn]

So, apparently my brother got dumped in much the way I did with equally as sucky timing. I wish I had his screenname, assuming he has one (which I think he does) or that I talked to him on the phone for more than 5 seconds a year so that I could call him up and be like, "Hey, how ya doing?" without feeling like I didn't have a right. And discussing that got Mum and me to discussing Jon and New Years and shit and she was like, "Yeah, by then we just woulda let him sleep in your room, cuz it's not like there would be anywhere else to put him. And you guys would've probably been having sex by then, if you weren't already." Enter talking about sex with a parent. SO NOT COOL. Oh, and I didn't need to hear you woulda let him sleep in here, kthxbai. Enter talk about the bleedin kitchen, how fucked up it is, and how we're going to be shoveling out everyone's shit when it's done. And it's disturbing to see your mum almost-crying. Regardless, no one's touching my stuff. I live happily in my packrat ways, thank you very much. 5:43 and I'm still not tired enough to sleep. And now Mum knows I'm awake. Wonderful.

Your mom actually said that she assumed you guys would be having sex!?!? wow....my whole family assumes that i'm going to stay lily-white-pure until i die....i'm not sure which way i'd want them thinking though....neither are very flatering or extremely accurate

Be glad they do. You don't have to suffer through odd conversations that are like, "Umm, yeah, we weren't." "Oh, I was so surprised at how sexually active my friends were in highschool when I found out years later..." [insert mention of parents having sex] [insert talk about college and The Pill] etc etc

you guys are lame and so are your parents :-D. My parents never had a problem with me sleeping over or my girlfriend sleeping over at my place... They always told me that they trust themselves enough to trust that they taught me the right things--plus, if they always said they knew if we wanted to fuck, not being able to sleep in the same house wouldn't stop us! :-D.

well yeah...my parents let my boyfriend sleep over all the time...they're actually going to start a weekly sleep over thing so we can see each other more often...they just assume that we don't realize we could do stuff in the cellar alone while they're fast asleep upstairs...or that we wouldn't...not quite sure which...they also go off and leave the two of us home alone together for a couple of hours...the last time they did that they called downstairs that they were home and to put our clothes back on...but they'd never think we were actually doing anything

well my mom and i have serious discussions about sex...more often when i was younger and actually had questions...i guess when its actual discussion about ME having sex it'd be ickier...we never had one of those
