I love them and all, but they seem to have gotten to be a little prudy...to say the least...katie g.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15149713813310177859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15210983.post-81738503161852823082006-10-16T16:26:00.000-07:002006-10-16T16:26:00.000-07:00Hmmmm....I'd say 85% is a good round number for ho...Hmmmm....I'd say 85% is a good round number for how honest I am with them. And it's not that I'm not honest. We just have a lovely "they don't ask, I don't tell" policy that works well for us :o) And I agree w/ Peyton, being 4 states away from home helps out a lot as well.Katy C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02737841074782566941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15210983.post-91375370353511891162006-10-16T15:51:00.000-07:002006-10-16T15:51:00.000-07:00Katie, you know my parents... they are such prudes...Katie, you know my parents... they are such prudes sometimes, especially when it comes to alcohol. My dad practically forces me to eat bread when I have had only two beers. They think that if you have more than 1 or 2, you are an alcoholic. Hell, look at my brother... they thought he was an alcoholic and now they don't even speak (so not fair, but that is a whole other issue.)<br /><br />To sum up, I keep a major part of my life off limits in order to protect myself. It is easy considering I am 800 miles away and I only go home once a year. I only wish I had the option of being as much as 85% honest without fearing being disowned.Peytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15491237819081798632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15210983.post-76747587674813000622006-10-16T14:00:00.000-07:002006-10-16T14:00:00.000-07:00i think i fall into the category of telling mine t...i think i fall into the category of telling mine too much, at least thats what we're dealing with now. I've made up my mind that i really need to back off of telling them all the garbage in my life. your mother is a smart woman, unfortuantley i have a mother that likes to pry and there are consequences when battles are evoked between my parents and husband. just more garbage so I'm working on simply keeping my trap shut. dont know i would go so far as lying to them but I'm realizing that my parents dont need to know all the details. its tough to put up barriers but seems necesary for healthy living.<br />(good topic by the way)<br />a.m.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15210983.post-47989554235067490032006-10-16T06:38:00.000-07:002006-10-16T06:38:00.000-07:00I don't really have anything to hide from my paren...I don't really have anything to hide from my parents, so maybe I'm 95% honest with them?<br /><br />But no I don't tell them everything because I agree, parents aren't supposed to be your friends.Belle of Madisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07194543331862924628noreply@blogger.com
