Topic: What would you be comfortable with? Posted: 16 November 2005 at 2:49pm |
Okay, so this might be TMI for some of you... if I embarrass you, I appologise.
Nat has bought me some lovely lingerie (nothing revealing, it's a long robe-style dress, and g-string) for christmas, and I'm going to be opening the present in front of my parents. Now, that itself will not embarrass us. My mum helped me fold some washing last month that included a baby doll style outfit - she just passed it to me and said I could fold it better than she could. The thing is, my 14yo sister and 12yo brother will also be there. My sister will be fine, but my brother may be silly. Would you be embarrassed in a similar situation?

My 13yr old stepson is particulary silly when it comes to helping getting the washing off the line, especially when laughing at my "G strings" (actually just plain old bikini undies, shows what he dosent know!!). I get a great laugh out of his embarrassment!

nah - wouldn't embarass me.. our families are pretty open and i think it's all good since we are a huge family of girls. Mike's family is very open - as in, argh can't beleive i'm saying this.. I'm the 1st "proper" girlfriend mike ever had... and after we had "relations" for the first time, the next day we went to visit his grandparents, and they asked him about it and teased him... lets just say i would have liked the floor to open up and swallow me...
I guess it's what you feel comfortable with - doesn't sound too raunchy to me.. who cares, as it's already been said, 14 yr old boys make EVERYTHING rude.

OMG Janine. i would've died!!!!!!! Then again i remember being caught in a "comprimising position" when i was 17 with my then-bf. His mother walked in and then later...AT THE DINNER TABLE!!!!.... said "well, i didn't know girls still did that nowadays". mortified beyond belief!
talking about knickers again...boys at that age are dumb and will giggle at anything, I think it'd be a little embarressing but nothing too bad. Go for it!

I have a 12 year old brother and I think he'd be ok. Maybe snicker a bit and tell his friends about it later but nothing that would scar him for life!!!
(Then again, he's the only boy in a family of 6 girls) Poor kid.
I gave him the sex talk the other day. He was horrified (which I was relieved about) but I just had to be sure that he would talk to my sister or me before he even thought about getting anywhere near that stage. He put me in my place good and proper "Nikki, why would I have sex when I'm too scared to even kiss a girl???"
Like I said... very relieved.

I had the sex talk with my sister on Labour weekend, not the biological stuff - I know our mum covered that when Kathrine started getting her periods, more the emotional stuff. I know she's got a boyfriend (but Mum doesn't realise they are as serious about each other as they are) so I let her know that she could talk to me about all the conflicting emotions if she wanted to. I think she was relieved - and she did laugh when I said that thinking of your parents having sex was gross, but I have 2 kids so she knows I've done it at least twice, and sisters aren't as gross as parents!

I wrapped the lingerie last night. I've done it in such a way that when I open it, I can grab the g string before it falls out, then show everyone the dress. This way, Simon isn't going to go into giggle fits! Honestly, he's worse than a girl! I know my parents won't be embarrassed cause a few years ago, "santa's little helper" gave my mum a see-through short nightie and my dad got a novelty sequined g string!
Thanks for your comments, everyone.

My family is pretty open too. I remember I bought my stepdad a leopard print G-string as a joke.....Bad idea coz my mum made him "model" it. I never want to see that much of my stepdad ever again! Lol!!!
My mum was awful when she gave me the "talk". It was very technical & I had to stop her half way through to tell her that I had already lost my virginity! Whoops. She left the talk about 2 months to late. Yet when it came to my sister, it hasn't been a problem although my sister has come to see me about a few details that she didn't want to talk about with our mum...such as BJs etc...

lol, we never had that talk with our mum... maybe that's why all of us have at least 2 kids each. i do remember my brother visiting from aussie just after i got my first boyfriend, and he went out and got a box of those coloured/flavoured condoms and gave them to me. sooo embarassing!

I got taken to the mother/daughter evening in standard 4 (had videos with bees and flowers etc) and got given sampler packs of sanitary pads etc, then mum gave me (very red faced she was, too) a green colour book for teenage girls, forgot the name of it, a big hardcover everything a teenage girl shoul know type book (maybe that was the title?!) embarrassing! In fact, if I hadn't just had a baby, I'm sure they would still think I was a virgin!!

LMAO Lizzie
I remember that video talk thingie at school when I was standard 4 too... probably the same thing! I used to send away for millions of free samples of tampons/pads as I COULDN"T WAIT for it all to get started... boy, if I knew then what it would be really like (periods I mean not the sex, hehehehehe) I wouldn't have been so keen!

I reckon! I used to send away for the samples as well, and conduct experiments with them with my mates after school! I couldn't wait! HAHA then, when it happened, I was sooooo mortified, as we were away on a family holiday, and I said to mum "don't tell dad.." which of course she did, as well as the lady who ran the motels and the shop lady..... Liz, ha ha I was trying to imagine a "birds and bees" colouring in book for teen girls! lmao!!!
