1. S/O Poll

   

   Discussion by ShesSoCold · January 2016 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Wedding Woes

   Do you still hide things from your parents? Now that you're an adult, have you confessed things to them that you hid as a child or teenager? Did they confess to you that they knew some of your "secrets" all along but didn't care as much as you thought they would?

   There's a lot I keep from my parents. We're not super close and lot of the decisions H and I make they don't agree with. Nothing "bad" it's just my mom holds grudges when people makes decisions she doesn't like so if I'm weighing a major decision I usually don't tell them until after its made. I also haven't "come clean"…

   I still somewhat compulsively lie to my folks. Bad habit, working on it. Although I've been honest about some of my past indiscretions, I have to still guard my sisters' (because it's in the rules), and they're all so intertwined, I can't spill a lot of that stuff.

   All personal opinions aside, my brother and I got spanked when we were growing up. Mom had an old wooden spatula that we named the "spanking spoon" that she would use. One day, I got the bright idea to hide that sucker. I hid it under my bed and my parents couldn't find it for years. They finally found it when we moved out…

   After college I moved back home for grad school. I had a job I hated and lied and told my Mom that they had layoffs, but I really quit. I confessed years later and she had the nerve to get mad. Hee. She didn't play about keeping a job, so that was the only way I would have had some peace. I confessed to changing my…

   I was a lame teenager, everything I did that would result in lying to my parents I got caught (like a car accident when I wasn't with who I said I was with, boom busted). I do keep the fact that I'm a raging feminist and lean liberal from them. My entire family are on the right (some of them the hard right) and that is a…

   I don't hide things from my mother, but I'm not really close enough with her to confide in her. She has an idea that I was one way as a teenager (not correct) and wouldn't believe me if I told her differently.

   Eh, they don't ask so I don't tell. There are some things I'd rather not tell them unless push comes to shove because it would probably damage our relationship more than it should.

   I confessed to my mom a few years ago that I got a speeding ticket in her car when I was 16. My car was in the shop and it was one of the few times she let me borrow hers. She knew I was having sex at 14 and didn't say anything because she knew I was on BC.

    Eh. I didn't have any secrets, really, so no. I mean, no, I've never mentioned how I slutted* it up in my 20s or anything, but I don't think anyone in my family wants or needs to know that. *No regrets, and I don't use "slut" in a pejorative sense. It's just accurate.
