Things my mother will never know…
by admin • June 17, 2012 • * Safe for Work *, Confession • 7 Comments
Hey, uh, mom? This might be slightly awkward, but.. Well.. I know you think I’m the perfect little cookie cutter church girl daughter and all, but I’ve got a few things I would like for you to know:
1) I have a boyfriend who you have never met.
2) he just so happens to be about 6 years older than me.
3) I’m in love with this boy.
4) I stayed the night at his house last night when you thought I was at my best friends house.
5) there’s a slight chance that I might be pregnant with his baby. Slight.
6) I have a court date Monday morning, I’m not ACTUALLY going to a graduation party in another state.
7) I will be staying the night with my boyfriend that night too.
8) everyone knows this but you and dad.
9) i’ve gotten drunk before.
10) I backed your car into a tree, but it didn’t make a mark.
11) I occasionally curse like a sailor.
12) none of my friends like you because you’re way too hard on me.
13) the reason why all of these “rebellious” things are happening is most likely because of #12
14) I always wanted to make you happy and you were never satisfied.
15) when I leave for college, I will RARELY come home. And I mean RARELY.
16) you think you know me up and down, backward and forward, but you don’t.
17) ive snuck out over ten times.
18) I hate when you cut me off when I’m talking.
19) I really did hide your toothbrush. It didn’t just get misplaced.
20) I didn’t go to the movies with the girls last night. I went to Applebee’s with my boyfriend and his friends.
I feel a lot better. Sorry it has to be this way. But maybe once you come back down to earth, we can communicate like regular people.
Sorry I’m not sorry mom. I’m happier than I’ve ever been.
@ #19. That’s freaking hilarious. Just so you know, I was just like you, I don’t particularly regret the hard time I gave my mom, we all do it, it’s part of growing up. I do however miss the crap out of her and would blow off any friend or my fiancee for the chance to spend the afternoon hanging out with her. I would bet anything you’ll find yourself going home more often than you think. Things change when you’re no longer living under their roof. Trust me, the excitement of being “A responsible adult” quickly wears off. Enjoy being a shithead and being rebellious while you can. It’s so much fun and the time is limited.
trust once lost it is never regained again
Your mom will realize that she is being too hard on you eventually. She’s probably just uptight and worried that you’ll make the same mistakes she did as a teenager. (If she was a rebel) Sooner or later she will loosen up and she’ll start to trust your judgement. Until then, I say have some fun and do what feels right. Follow your gut feelings and stay happy.
Hey… you are going through a ton right now. this, is obvious…
Can I ask you a question? Do you think she and your father have felt these same things or have not done what you are not doing right now… Ask the question..
Be safe… and be smart about your decisions. Take care.
I don’t want to sound like “THAT” teenager, but she really just doesn’t get me. She’s a perfectionist, quiet, responsible, some might say obsessive/compulsive, while i’m carefree, happy go lucky, fly by the seat of my pants-ish. So naturally, she doesn’t understand a thing I’m feeling or thinking most of the time. Plus I’m artsy and musical, and she’s more interested in sciences and medicine. And not to mention she’s got such a short temper. Telling her about my day is comparable to diffusing a bomb. I’ve tried over my 4 years of high school to get along with her and see where shes coming from, but as of here lately, I’m just about tired of it. Since I’m not like her, I’m wrong. Apparently. I’m going to be more careful, because I know second chances are hard to come by, but I’m just ready to let go.
I’m sorry, but you really do sound like “‘THAT’ teenager.” We all did. We realize this with age.
And 23 or 24 no longer counts as a “boy.” He may act young but he is an adult. Much more grown than you are right now. You’ll see that in a few years.
You’ll learn a lot in college. Not just school things, mind you.
Welcome to emerging adulthood.
eh, don’t listen to the negativity. You’re not just like every other teenager, you sound smarter, more mature, and seem to know what you’re getting yourself into.
Having said that…
It sounds like you’re consciously rebelling. Remember that the choices you make now can have a lasting impact, be careful and smart with this guy. I’m sure he’s great but it’s also easy to fall for him because he’s exactly what your mom would hate.
In addition, remember that no matter what, family will always be there for you. Men…are tentative at best.
Goodluck with everything, I wish you the best.
