What would your parents be surprised to learn about you?

I was living with a guy when I was in University, and every time my parents or brothers came to visit, we hid his stuff and he stayed with a friend.

    Were you just living with him or dating him? I didn't know this could be such a big deal in Canada.

    So whats the problem? Your parents didn't approve of him or just didn't want you dating till you finish college?

    I don't think my parents would be surprised by anything anymore :laugh:

    I like to tell them things that I shouldn't just to see/hear their reactions :devil:

    LOL evidently I'm very bad at hiding things because my Mom learned this long ago stumbling onto my porn stash. Luckily, I have a good open relationship with my Mom and she's very understanding. Not much my parents would be surprised about I've been pretty honest about most everything.

    That I really don't like my mom's cooking. She's old and has lost her taste buds and pours a ton of garlic on everything. I pretend to love it, and in many ways I miss the sights and sounds of her cooking, but I'll do anything to not have to eat her food.



    What's my penance?

    AZ - The penance for that 1 is an extra helping of her cooking next time you are with them!!!!

    Honestly, I don't think there is much I could tell them that would shock them, Dad used to follow me when I was a teenager, so he caught me any time I was "bad". And now I just tell them openly what I'm up to.... and my mother is addicted to FaceTime, and it never fails, she always calls when I'm up to some kind of no good. And since I have an iPhone, if I don't answer she will just keep trying till I do so it's better just to answer the first time she calls :laugh:

    My mother already knows this. I've told her, but she's aware as of to why.

    Over the years, I have found that my parents already knew much of what I thought I was keeping secret. At my age, I doubt I could tell them anything new, or anything surprising.
