with my dad yea...my mother is just plain impossible...its easy to just say what you know she wants to hear cuz either way her brain somehow reprograms w/e you say into what she wants to hear anyway....
I was 26 years old and had moved back home to southern Massachussetts from my apartment in Boston. Went out one night and met a girl at a bar. I didn't call to say I was going to be out all night. Walked in the house early in the morning and my mom asked me where I was and what happend to me because I didn't call. I told her that I met a girl and got laid. She said, "No really - what happend?"
I was always honest with my mom if she ask me a direct question. If she didn't ask, then I sure wasn't going to bring things up. Some things that have happened in my life she was better off not knowing. It would have been too upsetting.
