How much do YOUR parents know?

[lyrica9]

mom knows everything. period.

now daddy is another story..... denial like whoa.

[FiReKraCkEr]

My dad passed away not to long ago...so I'm sure he knows everything now. He's probaby hanging his head in shame...

i can't decide if my parents don't know, don't WANT to know, or what. as far as I know, they know nothing, and i will continue that b/c i'm so from the southern baptist no-sex-before-marriage-upon-penalty-of-eternal-damnation kind of houses. actually, i had the "i think i'm gonna have sex with my b/f" talk with my mom 4 days after i lost the v-card.......she was really cool about the whole thing, just pointing out the bonuses of waiting. in some ways, i kinda wish i had stuck to the original plan of waiting, but at the same time.....well, y'all know how it is!

Oh, my parents know. And my mom wants to be my best-friend-type and talk about it. I think that I'm more restrained about talking about sex with my parents than they are. But it does save from having to hide the fact when my boyfriend comes to stay at the house on holidays with me.

Mine is reversed than the majority of posts I've noticed

My mom is in denial.....and my dad buys my birth control (The Pill).

[astroAPhi]

My parents always assumed I was a raging ho, when I was actually pretty innocent.

[aphibeach]

my mom was the type who just "trusted us." there were many times when my boyfriend and i would come home to an empty house after school (the same with my brother and his girlfriend). my mom used to let boyfriends stay at my house overnight (when they were there, although i did know friends whose parents let their children have their significant others over while they were out of town).

i told my mom when i decided to go on birth control. her only issue was "dont tell dad." she knows i have sex but she's okay with it because she knows i'm safe. (the same with my brother) my mom never had this kind of relationship with her mother so when she was raising my brother and i, she felt that by being open with us and vice versa would make life a lot better.

in general i was one of those kids who was able to do what they pleased, but i knew if i messed up, i wouldn't get to do the things that i was able to. i had no curfew ever, i could go out during the week as late as i wanted to (as long as i got up the next morning and went to school all day), i could skip morning classes if i felt like it, i could leave school when i felt like it. i was one of those kids who just got bored easily and i needed the freedom to roam. thankfully my parents saw that and let me do my thing. i was an honor student and i did well in school. the teachers didn't understand my parents way of raising my brother and i but for us it worked.

the funniest part was everytime i would go into school late my mom would ask me if i wanted her to write a note for me. i was like, "hell no, they check the handwriting and compare to previous notes.....i've been doing this for years, if you write a note they're going to think i forged your signature"

I think my mom thought I was doing a lot more than I really was for quite a while.

I told her about a year after I lost my virginity, and she had assumed that I'd slept with my first (serious) boyfriend and just never told her. She had no idea I'd "held out" so long.

She's a little more comfortable talking about it than I am, so we generally avoid the subject... I know it's going to get mega-uncomfortable when we start trying for a baby.

my dad knows nothing. period. and i guess thats why he assumes i'm dating my best friend. i've told him i'm dating a guy and he asks me about him sometimes but thats going to be the extent of it. he prolly knows we have sex but doesnt act like it. so i'm hoping he doesnt but if he does, i'd rather not know he does. to save myself the embarrassment.

my mom SHOULD know about my boyfriend but she doesnt pay any attention to me so she prolly just thinks he's another friend. i have a lot of guy friends. they out-number the female friends. my best friend comes over a lot and he's allowed to stay the night but its usually because he doesnt have anywhere else to stay and his parents have kicked him out for the night. my boyfriend comes over sometimes but usually at 7AM when he gets off work and my mom is already gone to work. and then one or both of us leave by 11 or 12. most of the time i'm gone to his house. he's not allowed to spend the night. i'm sure if she thought he needed to then he could but he'd have to take the couch. as far as i know, she doesnt know we have sex but she could just be playing it off. if he's here and we're in my room then she won't come in there but later she tells me that it doesnt look right for him to be up there with me alone. i would never in a million years tell my mom that i'm having sex because thats just not something to talk about with her. i have hard enough times trying to talk to her about school and stuff because she just doesnt pay attention or she wont let me finish talking.

my boyfriend, on the other hand, tells his mom anything she wants to know. theyre really close and she knows we have sex and she's fine with it. if we go there for anything she's super sweet and if its late she tells me to just stay the night so i wont have to drive home. she makes sex jokes too.

i wish my mom had been the type i could talk to and the type to let me by with stuff that really isnt bad. i've never really had a curfew but she has thrown fits about me coming in late on a school night. if for any reason i missed school or missed a class she would take my truck away until she felt she could give it back. she's a control freak. she realizes that i'm independent and get bored easily and have to keep moving and keep busy but she uses that against me and i hate it. i will never do that to my children if i have any. my mom is totally opposite of everything i need but if i try to explain to her what i need she just thinks she's a bad mom and starts crying.

My parents are firmly in the "wait until you're married" camp. I'm... well, not. As far as I was concerned, they didn't have to know anything... until Mr. aephi alum and I decided to move in together. Realizing that my folks would notice that our addresses were suddenly the same, I broke the news gently to my mom. She took it surprisingly well, asking only if we were using protection.

My dad is another story. He could write the book on living in denial. We've been married nearly 5 years; I think he thinks I'm still a virgin.

[Munchkin03]

Parents know (for other reasons, they had to have access to my medical records, and they know what prescriptions I'm on), and have known since I was about 16. Do we talk about it? No. They know I'm safe and have been so.

[CarolinaCutie]

My mother and my father both know... but it's not like something we discuss often. My dad only knows because my mother tells him everything Even before my mother officially knew though, I think she just assumed, like she does with my sister.

[Xylochick216]

My fiance and I decided to wait til marriage, but both of our parents think we're humping like bunnies. They'll say stuff to us and we're like, "No, really, we're not doing anything", and they'll say, "RIIIIGHT."

They DO, however, think my sister waited, when, in fact, she didn't. They always see her as the goody-goody and me as the rebel. I guess things change

And YAY for my 500th post

Same for me.

My mom said something to be about sleeping with my boyfriend (who I have been with for 5 years, we waited 2 years into the relationship to even have sex..) a little while ago.

She brought it up at a horrible time.. I was driving.. on a curvy back road with her... I almost crashed because she caught me so off guard. Here I was thinking I was being all stealthy-like

My dad is in denial.. hell.. he's still in denial that I've kissed a boy. hahaha

I'm from one of those families, too. I know my dad thinks I'll stay a virgin til I'm 30. My mom on the other hand... well, I'm sure she knows something, but probably assumes it's a lot worse than it is since I sleep at Mr. Bunny's nearly every night. We really do just go to bed most nights, and I like it that way.

I'm going to go on the assumption that they're clueless, though. That just makes me feel better. I don't want my parents knowing about my sex life. When I finally get pregnant I'm still going to want to deny it, because the topic of sex + my parents= really friggin awkward.
