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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
