We only have free tv channels and inet. I don't watch tv much. Its caca. 2 days ago I saw a cable guy leave the apartment below.

IIABTW suddenly we have a whole bunch not billed or paid for (a whole basic cable menu) and the damn router is no longer my friend?

My parents have arrived for a quick visit.

I forgot to remove the entire shelf-full of kinky sex books.

*facepalm*

There are some things my parents just don't need to know. I think I scarred my mom enough last visit, after all.

Oh, come on. It's one thing to leave your dildo collection in the dish drainer by accident. Quite another to arrange them as a welcoming committee.
You're not flaunting your sexuality to them, but it's not like you need to hide it, either.
Can they seriously not handle you as a sexual being by this point?

I'm pretty sure no one's parents need to see those kind of books.

in reply to jadefalcon1 in message #9048:
With my particular flavor of sexuality? They would be uncomfortable knowing that.

Last time my folks visited, I pulled my mom aside and told her that Mr Val and I had had an open relationship and that was how I'd met Mr Smith. I told her this was important information for her to know because I didn't want to have to fear making an off-hand comment about how long we'd been together and have her think that I'd been cheating on Mr Val. She was extremely distressed by hearing this information and said--nearly with tears in her eyes--"I just want to know whether or not I should send him birthday cards!"

My parents haven't been in my life much over the last 15 years due to their travels. I spent a six-year period without ever laying eyes on them. They're a little out of touch with my life and who I am, and there are some things they just don't need to know.

Aw, your mom sounds adorable.

Discovering /adult/ progeny's sexuality is far less confusing or disturbing than discovering one's parents' porn collection as a minor.

Some would say a more important indicator of her parenting skill is whether you still love her or not :)

My parents haven't been around much for most of my adulthood, and in seeing them, it's kind of like being around my grandparents when I was younger--I know they love me, they just don't know me very well any more. There's plenty of stuff they're happier not knowing--and they're perfectly happy to admit that. So, me not telling them is a respect thing.

you're looking at someone's baby pictures, and one of them has a baby and a dog, and instead of saying "Oh cutie baby!!!" , the first words out of your mouth are "Whose dog is that?"

you want pepperoni with that?

There's a joke in Mel's family about boyfriends, men, and pets. Generally the women in her family are "dragon ladies" (many are engineers), and so find themselves dealing with a lot of male-types lacking spine enough to stand up to them. The gelatinous ones that just roll ever and play dead are referred to as "pets". Nice to have around, but hardly a co-equal.

Sounds like you may have one of those as well. This is not an inherently bad thing, but if that's not what you're looking for right now it might be time to move on.

Yes, it's a bad thing. Mama's boys are emotionally challenging and lazy.

Choose a task he won't be too insulted by, and ask him nicely if he could help out by completing it. Promise a reward, deliver and affirm the achievement on completion. Hardest part is marketing in a *persuasive* way that doesn't insult or offend.

If he's intelligent, he'll notice what you're trying to do & help out. If he's an intelligent asshole, he won't comply. If he's an idiot he'll miss the point entirely.... and make jokes about women's work. Good luck.

a platonic male friend sends a message saying he wants to see your back dimples?

I'm disappointed. Is it really impossible to have a platonic male friend?
