Meet the parents

Well this weekend i'm taking the GF home to meet my folks, now I wasn't nervous about this until I spoke to my mum.

She basically said that i was fine to bring her home but had an embarassing question. "What are the sleeping arrangements"

Ummmm with me perhaps? Seeing as I have been sleeping with her for the past four months (and i'm 24).

So my mum says "Ummm ok fine, so.... your actually going to do this then?"

"Eh?"

Do what exactly????

I have no plans of getting up to any funny business with the gf while i'm there, literally sleep in the same bed that's it.

I'm not sure who was more embarassed, me or my mum? :p:

Oh I should mention this is the first time i've ever actually had a GF sleep over at my folks, my previous relationships haven't lasted long enough and I generally slept round theirs anyway. Hmmm perhaps my mum still thinks i'm a virgin? :redface:

Even after you have children your parents will continue to hope/believe that you're still a virgin. Just sleep in the same bed and be done with it - you're not 15 anymore.

As much as that's true, I couldn't, my parents room is next door to mine and the walls are quite thin, no way would I be able to look them in the face in the morning :p:

Your 24? I think your mum is either abnormally prude/Christian, or she is purposely trying to get you worried an having a secret joke with herself. Either, I would not be embarassed to tell her truth, in my opinion, bearing in mind your age, she should not be shocked.

If they can look at you in the morning why cant you? Make sure you give her a real hard one and tell your parents you did it the next day. You're 24!

mate... just move out and live happily forever with your gf :biggrin: ... ow good luck with the meeting parents thingie too...
Just say you want to sleep in the same bed as your girlfriend, but you respect your parents too much to have sex under their roof.

Seriously. Say it, and then everyone's a winner. You get to share a bed, and your mum thinks you're almost as wonderful as if you had married the girl already.
just go with the flow on this one, see where your mum assigns you to sleep.. if its separate beds then go along with that to apease her even if she does essentially know things are not quite as innocent. :smile:

I know how you feel AnonGuy2005. I told my mum I'd be going away for the weekend with my boyfriend in Feb (I will be 18 by then) and she says 'I presume you'll be booking 2 rooms'. And I was like... 'yeah'. Luckily his parents are cool and will let us share :smile: Yay.

(Though why my mother thinks we don't have sex when I've been with him 2 years AND she knows I'm on the pill...)

I think with some mums it's more a case of denial than not knowing; they probably just don't want to think about it so pretend it isn't happening.
Or they know a lot more than we think and just feign ignorance to keep us thinking we're one step ahead!

Good luck with her meeting the parents.

too late, I moved out 5 years ago thanks to uni :smile:. I live in Bristol and so does my gf, just visiting home for the weekend.

It's probably a bit like imagining your parents having sex - you know it must happen but you can't bring yourself to think about it.
