How many times have you lied to your kids about anything and how many lies did your parents tell you and how many things will they never dare tell you?!

It wasn't my parents but when I want to catholic school the nuns told us we could get pregnant holding a boys hand. :)

I try to be open with my daughter. She is only five so I don't go into things too much but I want her to know that if anyone tries to do anything that is inappropriate with her that it is wrong and she needs to tell someone. I want her to have respect for herself and not make some of the mistakes I did because my mom never took the time to talk to me about dating and relationships.

I don't have kids. But my Mom lied to us all the time. She never did give me the scoop on where babies come out of on your body. Last she told me, it was the navel. Our cat that just disappeared? We suspected she got rid of it. My dog that disappeared? She gave it away, I found out. You couldn't believe anything she said. Some people lie. I don't.

Not sure I understand what you are getting at. Lies about what subject in particular? Since this is in the dating and relationships section, I'm guessing that you mean lies about sex?

Sounds like you are trying to be a really good parent!

I don't waste my time thinking about inconsequential crap like this.

Anyone who has time to waste on stuff like this will never reach their full potential.

LOL - I wouldn't know if they lied unless they tell me.

They've never said anything of the sort. I wish they would like about things like how much they didn't like my husband when I met him, and how much they'd wished I was religious. "We liked your boyfriend" and "It's okay if you're not religious," would be fabulous to hear.

Try finding a VCR tape hidden in your parents closet and being a kid thinking it was some kind of R rated movie they didn't want you to see, so of course you watch it. And let's just say I am still traumatized to this day. Oh god the horror of watching that!!!!!!

You made me laugh out loud AW..I remember going on a visit to the zoo with the nuns..It must have been Spring or something..because everything appeared to be humping...I kept laughing so Sister Bernadette kept dushing me round the back of the head!!

We went to see the lions..humping...

We went to see the monkeys..humping...buffalo's..humping..

In the end we went into the insect house...Bless me if the stick insects weren't humping as well..I was screaming with laughter and came out of the zoo looking like this....

Actually I'd rather just wait and see how big of a hit the GOP takes for this unnecessary government shutdown which will hurt the economy but will not stop the Affordable Care Act.
