have you anything that can't tell your parents?

there's always going to be someone you can't tell everything to. i think its just plain human nature to keep some things to ourselves. my parents didn't know a lot and now having kids, it was kind of sad. i never really felt comfortable telling them. my parents and extended family knew the least, then my sister, then my friends knew the most. even my co-workers knew more about my personal life. some things you just keep hidden from other people. the person who knows the most about me now is of course my husband. there will be times when i keep things from him, but its just emotional things like weather i'm upset or sad. nothing major. as for parents not knowing, i'd guess it would be the plain reaction you'd get. fear. my parents don't know about my sister smoking for a week. my parents didn't know about the number of guys i actually went out with she knows of only 1 double date (it was more for my friend at the time) and 1 boyfriend which became my husband. i went out with at least 4 other guys before that. and my husband wasn't my first either. my mother was pretty old school on some things. she really over reacted the first time i introduced my now husband to her when we were just friends and not officially dating. since there was an age gap i knew she would be a little upset. i even lied about his age to close the gap a little. what made me do that was because she didn't trust my judgment. also the tone she used when talking about it made me put up my defensive walls. i think tone matters a lot when talking to people, because we do unconsciously pick up on those things, well at least i do. so i never let my parents know that i was dating him until we announced the engagement and pregnancy. hey, all at once. i'd just wish she would trust my judgment and let me make my mistakes. kids need to do that, even when adults. you can teach them and be there for them, but they need to learn the real world on their own. i wish i had a better relationship with my mother, i wish it started from early on. but i did get along better with my father. i could at least tell him my fears and worries. i don't even think i told my parents about me getting teased in school.

Yup, at times I don't tell them much about me anymore. Specially on trivial matters. I have my own family now and I actually live with them. When I was younger I didn't exactly tell them what I did in the mall. Example, I told them I watched a movie with friends. They are the type who would ask what movie, I wouldn't tell them anymore, I feel that There should be some privacy too. I know I didn't do anything wrong so I don't need the 3rd degree questioning.

Not everything I can share with my parents. We're like 35 years gap and it's so much different within the views and opinion framework between us. At a time I want to tell my parents everything but looking at their response it's just not like what I expected. You see, my mother responded like she didn't care much to what I was just saying. My father, his response was silent, and nothing to say, but only a good listener. At some points I really want their opinion over something, but since they only respond that way I prefer to have my husband and my best friends know the situation I'm facing. Thanks.

me sure anything tell all my parents
