Did you really just say that?!

[starsthrumysoul]

My father doesn't have a large screen in place when it comes to his words. Neither does my FIL. That's why I wasn't all THAT surprised at these events two nights ago.

I called my dad on my way home from work to talk. Among other things, I talked to my dad about how FH is having a hard time right now not working, but that we had a discussion and he is starting to do a lot of work around the house (making dinner, dishes, etc.). My dad tells me "well he better be. And you know just how to punish him if he doesn't." We both laughed (more like a nervous laugh for me), and through the laughter I said "I'm not exactly sure what you're insinuating." My dad says "oh you know. You're a woman, so you know. And you know that men will do ANYTHING if you hold out on us long enough!"

I don't talk about my sex life with my parents, so you can appreciate how creeped out I was...

Fast forward to an hour later, when DH and I are at his parents house for dinner. FIL is carving pork, and DH is telling me where the "good meat" is (I have to have meat with no fat on it). FIL says "just take this piece" and I respond with "no - I'm very particular about my meat." Well I can't remember exactly, but FIL made a comment about DH's "meat" that made me want to crawl into a whole.

When I tell other people these stories, they might understand why I can't take these men out in public :p

[SkippyNXC]

oh no i never talk to my parents about sex n when these moments do occasionally occur i feel the same way!!

[FutureMrs.Lestician87]

I don't blame you.My dad is the exact same way with EVERYTHING.

[Adriana]

Ewww I just couldn't ever do that. Thankfully my parents never bring it up.

[amisteratwisterandme]

I voted yes but not my own. We tell dirty jokes, and fh and I joke around with my mom around. Nothing explicit though. We always tease my mom when she is over about taking a nap so we have some private time, but it doesn't go further than that, and it was something she started when he hugged me a few times for no reason.

[gwenshack]

I can be pretty open with my mom. Most recently, I was telling her that I thought Ron and I were getting old because Justina said (yeah, I also talk about OW with her...LOL) that she and Matt were baby dancing 4 times a week and how I thought that was funny because I can't even FIND my husband 4 times a week. My mom laughed pretty hard without having any TMI issues.
I think maybe if I tried to get into some sort of graphic details my mom might put her foot down, but, for now, we have a pretty open dialogue.
Now if DH's parents made some sort of comment about his "meat" I would probably vomit. :winktongue:

[ChristineLS]

Medically speaking, yeah. Of our own lives, no way. I don't want to know, they don't want to know, it's a nice, heavy, brick wall.

[Ninedays9]

Well... my parents knew when I first did it because it caused me great heartache afterwards, and they noticed a huge difference in how I was acting and asked me about it...

It hasn't been discussed at all, since. It's embarrassing enough for me that both sides of parents have mentioned wanting us to have kids... just because of the act that it takes to make babies, haha. And it was also embarrassing to me when, on the night before the wedding, my friends started asking me questions about sex-related things in front of my sister.

[melissa1031]

No way!!I never talk to my mother about my sex life.I feel like it's none of her business.and hers is none of my business.She'll try to talk to me about her sex life.I just cut her off and tell her to keep it to herself because I don't want to hear about it.But she did tell me that she and my sister talk about their sex lives together all the time.Not me.

But FH will talk about our sex life to anybody that will listen.He'll tell my mom,his dad,the lady at the grocery store,other family,friends.Basically any body that will listen.He makes me so mad that I want to hit him in the head.

[Heywie]

I said no because that's how I wish it was. I don't talk about sex, but my mom throws in little innuendos all the time just to make me feel awkward!

[WebLady]

My Dad never brings up his or my sex life, but he has made general jokes before, most don't bother me.

Sometimes my Mom will bring up things or make jokes about her and my Dad and/or DH and I; sometimes it is not a big deal, sometimes it is funny, sometimes it is a little awkward and uncomfortable.

[KMS]

No way Jose! Sex talk just doesn't happen.

[Nekochanpurr]

Nothing like having your mom knock on your apartment door.. Only to have her answer when you open the door 'you must've been having nookums!' :bbredface:

[WBandMe]

I'll make the occasional innuendo with my mom and she will with me once in awhile.. but it's kind of purposely to creep out the other person and we don't take it too far. But that's it. I don't talk seriously or honestly about my sex life, and hers isn't discussed. And my dad and me.. NO WAY NO WAY NO WAY! He told me a joke a few weeks ago and a tiny part of it was that part of the job this guy was applying for would be to take care of his boss sexually... just hearing my dad say that weirded me out. If my ILs brought it up, I'd die.

ETA--This just reminded me of something I think I've deliberately stifled in my head. A couple of years ago FIL made a comment about why were DH (then boyfriend) and I downstairs chatting when we could be upstairs making him some grandkids. It caught us both way off guard, esp because his dad is such a prude.. and we can't remember the quote or context anymore, and FIL *swears* he didn't say it.. but we know he did. How weird!

[MrsDM]

I said yes, we share everything. Although its just with my mom and its more of a joking manner than it is a serious "girl talk". Of course, if it was something serious, I would be able to talk to her about it too with no worries. I don't bring it up to my dad because I think he'd just like to think I'm still a virgin! LOL!

[sandy03]

I voted other - I used to talk to my mom occasionally about stuff before she died. I would NEVER talk about anything with my dad, and I think I MIGHT talk to my step-mom but only in very general or joking terms.

Now I don't mind talking to MIL, but it's never too explicit. It's mostly joking (like the fact that DH set up the online payment account for his parents when they got a new mattress and named the account "good times") but will sometimes get into the slightly more real and specific.

[NOTKT]

I voted no. Every once in a blue moon my dad will email his whole list a joke or my mom will just be joking, never anything serious. I don't talk about sex to my friends either, its just not who I am. Its funny the girls will be sharing info and I just sit there, I don't care that they do, but I could never revel that stuff!

[DanDanNoodleBowl]

Ahh, my family is so open about sex its ridiculous LOL

[mitch]

I had to vote "other" because now it is the kids asking us. Not us talking to our Parents. At our age, that sort of thing was discussed years ago and not now. :rofl:

DH's Daughters come to me and their Dad for advice. They find it easier talking to us about it than they do their own Mum.

When DH's eldest got Pregnant at 16 she told us first. She was more worried about making us Grandparents at 36 than the fact she had just left school. And so called "Ruined Her Life" which is not the case.

Everything is out in the open. The other Three Girls realise the stress the eldest went through at a tender age. So if anything bothers them they come to us.

Infact DH was the one they went to when they started their cycles. And come to me when they run out.

[LuLu86]

i voted other. cuz me n my mom joke about it. but my dad is an old-fashioned southern man. nuff said. lol

[CaseyK37]

I voted no. We never had the sex talk and didn't tell her anything about my sex life! Once in a while she would throw out, "You aren't having sex, are you?!" UGH! I hated that. "No, mom.:whoa:... Never!" I don't think FH ever had the sex talk with his parents either. Once in a while his parents will say some embarrassing things and it is hard to ignore... mainly because my face turns bright red.

[WebLady]

I thought about this thread today when my sister and my mom and I somehow ended up talking about ... male parts ;)

[Nekochanpurr]

LOL!! My mom used to do that to me almost every day in jr high. Your having sex! Your doing drugs, aren't you?!?! Funny thing was.. Not in the least. XD

[Chubear]

Me, my sister and my mum are all very close. We can talk about anything. ANYTHING. though when she talks about sex toys i put my fingers in my ears and go "la-la-la-la" :yesnod:
I dont share quite as much but still i have no shame and my closest girlfriend and i can talk about almost anything as well.
