awkward moments

[mallochai]

In the realm of things like underwear and lingerie, I've never had anything like that bought for me (aside from one hand me down slip from an old gf), though I own many slips, babydolls, and frilly things of that nature. I like soft pretty things. No lover has ever gotten me underwear as a present with the intent of it being just for me.

On that note...

Scott and I received a belated Easter package from his parents. We've been broken up for almost two months now, but apparently he hasn't gotten around to telling his parents yet, even though he's told everyone else he knows. It was filled with various gifts, candies, clothes, fun stuff for us with "we love you and hope you're happy together" messages all over.

As we're opening said gifts, our friend, my coworker, Greg is sitting with us, eating pizza and playing with the dog.

Well... I opened one of the boxes, held up the gauzy baby blue thing, and realize, too late, that I'm holding up a very pretty and very short babydoll slip with matching panties. From Scott's mother.

I shove them back in the box, laughing, along with the guys. Greg says "Gee Scott, looks like your mom is trying to get you laid." I tend to think the implications are that she wants me to get laid, with him involved. Either way... Jesus fucking christ, what is wrong with his mother?

Is this normal? I mean, besides it being odd that she sent me lingerie, the fact that we're not dating anymore just makes it ten times stranger, even though she doesn't know that, apparently.

Next thing you know, she'll be buying us vibrators and cock rings.

Also... it fits me perfectly. Creepy.

Yea I can relate to this, one time I got a gift from someone and I opened the box in front of a few friends, and realized, much much too late, that it was a very short black babydoll slip with matching panties, and boy was my face red. :blushing

It looks to me like either your ex doesn't want his mom to find out or he wants her to keep pushing the idea of you two being together. It does look a bit strange that he told everyone except her.

Well at least you know your ex's mom really liked you, were you close to her?

You ex should how ever be upfront with his mom and let her know, but then again maybe he has not said anythng because he hopes you two will some how make it all work out.

The best thing to do would be to talk to your ex about this and express your wishes for his parent to know, if you wish that.

I think we have all gotten these gifts at one time or another and there really is not much you can do about it once you get it open............

My 21 st b -day my husband and mother threw me a surprise b-day party, so i get there all is well My mom is there, all sorts of other friends and family and then its time for presents.. open, open, open, open, wine, champagne, gift certs to many resturants tha have bars etc..... its my 21st so these are all perfect gifts... then i get to the one from my mother in law, its is a cloths box :cheerful so i am excited untill i open it :erm i find that is full of thong panites and nighties..:blink..it was one of those huge sweater boxes, so just imagine the amount of undies i had to look at infront of every one.. :blushing .. WTF was she thinking, it was the kind of gift you should get at you wedding shower or bachlorette party not my freakin 21st surprise b-day party with my mom and every one there.

Our first Christmas together she gave us a vibrating Mr. Potato head, i had to open that damn thing on video camera. :doh To this day i have no idea wht the hell that woman was trying to accomplish, i mean when she speaks of sex she is a freaking prude and then she gives me all this fucked up shit that has to do with sex and the like. Ughhh she confuses me.

I can't say that I have ever had anything like that happen to me. Especially not a gift from my mom. She just doesn't do that (way religious). Roudy's mom on the other hand, I wouldn't put it past her to get me/us something like that. I dread my next bday and christmas now.

My ex's mom used to get me stuff like that all the time. She'd also get me club clothes and super gothy jewelery.. *L* I donno..

Last summer, when we broke up for a week, he told his parents, and his father told him flat out that he was an idiot for it. I think he's trying to avoid the disapproval, mostly. Though one never really knows. Humans are strange creatures indeed.

Gayle (scott's mom) and I have never been close, not in any real sense. She's a very needy and dramatic woman. She likes to talk a lot, share stories about who she's mad at, things like that, but we've never had any real connections. Mostly, I think she just likes me because I listen to her, whereas all of Scott's ex's would make up excuses not to talk to her, and Scott openly opposes everything she says. I try to just let her talk, get it off her chest. She likes to complain about EVERYTHING, and takes the slightest offense extremely personally.

But that's all besides the point, really.

Either way, we're not close enough for me to really ask her about it.

Now, were she to send me a vibrator, I would be mortified. Yeesh. :confused

As for Scott not telling his parents... like I said, I think a majority of it is that he doesn't want to hear about how he screwed up, and I also think he just thinks it's none of their business. When we were home for xmas, they were very adamant about how happy they were about us being together, and kept asking when we'd get married (which we sternly answered as not any time soon no matter what). His family is a little... intense. At this point, I don't think it has anything to do with just holding up the story so that a reunion in the future is easier. Things just don't look that way, realistically. True, he keeps talking about us living together for years and years... but not in the "together" sense.

Hmm... I'm on the verge of opening too many cans of worms.
