It might not be the norm, but it's not impossible to have that kind of relationship.  It depends...

I'm glad I didn't say that but sorry you did since it's not what I said.

 

IMO it's inappropriate for a mother to ask her adult children if they've had sex.  Interesting you think it's perfectly fine.

Re: Teenagers getting Started Early

I think if the adult child is not self sufficient, then a convo should be started by parents. Sorry if that's offensive to some.  Normally I would agree that it's no ones business when you become an adult.  But, if your folks are supporting you in any way, shape or form then yes it does become a roundtable discussion.  If the adult child doesn't like that, then the obvious answer is to be self sufficient.  No one, especially mom and dad want to pay for illegitimate kids.  Yes, I know that after they're born hearts melt (and so does money socked away for retirement).

What is inappropriate for you isn't necessarily inappropriate for the next person. We have always had that kind of relationship. Not nosy into his or her life but just able to talk about anything. No "ewwww!" factor.   Woman Very Happy

@Annabellethecat66 Sounds like you had a great relationship with your daughters! I guess that's hard for some people to understand unless they experience it themselves.

Why try to get in an insult at others?  Your claim is without foundation and not everyone has daughters.

 

That said, any anthropologist would tell you that that having relations is hardwired into a species for survival of the group.

 

Most people have sex because it is enjoyable and because some are young enough to have raging hormones.

 

And, I am willing to bet, most don't run and tell their mothers, and if they do, it certainly would not be an indicator of their maternal relationdhip.

ITA, Noel.

 

Some kids might also tell their mothers only what they think their mothers want to hear


***************************

 

Absolutely. 

 

What mother would ask an adult child, anyway?  Smiley Surprised

 

And I can't fathom why an adult child would volunteer the information, it's inappropriate imo.


It's right there in your own words, you're the one that used the word volunteer, which is what I was responding to But I'm not going to waste my time anymore with the word games being played here.

My adult child tells me things, why is that not appropriate? I have always told her she can tell me anything and that was not limited to just when she was a child. I am glad she trusts me and is comfortable enough to tell me anything.

Just to be clear, I'm not the one who said "ewwww".    Yes, it is nosy to ask an adult daughter if she's had sex.  That's exactly what it is.

No, that's not my words.  And not all baby boomers do whatever or blame today's parents, talk about word games, I'm glad you won't be playing them anymore.
