I'm about as open as Mother Theresa's vagina.

My dad and I are very close .. I dont tell him every little thing but if its substancial.. yeah .. I tell him. The thing is that my dad and my mom were divorced young. He has always been honest with me about everything .. I really love him for that.
me and my dad dont talk much..so uhm..not too open with him. Me and my mom...eh...depends on what the topic at hand is. I would tell her if i just got in a fight with my boyfriend, or if i'm pissed at a friend. Because we discuss those things. But no i dont tell her about all the sexual things me and my boyfriend did over the weekend. And i dont ask her advice on what condoms to buy or anything. None of that
I'm in the middle of a serious relationship....but as far as my parents know, I couldve been single all my life, they have no idea.
Hehe, same with me.Quote:

I get along well with both my parents... I dont normally make a point of hiding my relationships from them...there just hasnt been anything really serious or worth telling them about so I just didnt and my past relationships never lasted very long so it didnt really matter.... Now I am in a serious relationship which I think could be the one but we're taking it slow and my parents wouldnt approve so I'm not telling them yet...
I didn't really tell my parents about my last b/friend - my mum met him a few times and didn't really get on with him.
Now having seen that what she thought about him was pretty bang on I think I'd appreciate my parents input (not let it run my life but take it into account)
I wouldn't let them know about arguments etc... (I think that only turns them against your guy when it isn't necessarily the guy's fault and you're giving a biased opinion anyway) only if there was a situation I wanted their opinion on.
Thing is with me, i think both my parent's wouldn't have any real problem with my relationships. I guess i just have a poor history of them bugging me and nagging me about it.Quote:

I don't say anything about my love life or anything to my parents.
My parents would like for me to share, I'm sure..especially my Mom, but I like to keep that stuff private as well. If I had a formal girlfriend, I'd be sure to let them know and socialize and all, but for themost part, I don't like sharing too much with the old folks..

I have talked about my recent girlfriend with my sister though and she swears not to tell the parents.

Yeah...to be honest I havent made a point of keeping it secret - although I certainly dont want to share all the details with them - it just kinda happened that way.
im really close with my parents and i tell them quite a lot of stuff they no that i fancy sum1 they dont no wat i do in private my parents are also very easy goin aswell
i have a close relationship w/ my parents especially since i moved back in. i am selective on what i tell them and they know me pretty well so they no whats up and when i am being selective. man i cant wait till school is over so i can move out on my o wn again. unless im not w/ a complete jerk then they are cool....
I'm an EXTREMELY over-protected child. My parents watch every move I make and have always been that way. I'm very close to my mom. It's a lot like having a good friend. I go to her for a lot of things and I've told her some things about my relationships. She knows I'm not a virgin and both my parents really like my bf.
One problem is that my mom wants to know every detail about me and him. She's very sneaky when it comes to this stuff. I'll say something by accident and then she'll know a new detail about our relationship. Crazy Women! Dad knows nothing. He thinks I'm still the pure lil girl.
Though I feel like I'm being smothered by them. I wish I could just have my life. I want to be able to have no curfews or be kept away from my bf. I have to work all day, so the time I spend with him is important to me. I'm 18. A legal adult in canada. In one mth's time I'm 19. Which means I'll be legal to drink, go to clubs, etc. They can't hold onto me forever. But they are sure as hell trying.
