Eldest daughter was much more open about it...... youngest daughter tends to keep that sort of thing to herself. Many years ago eldest daughter wanted to be able to read my blog... and in a moment of weakness I gave her the url.
I do remember watching / censoring myself for a long time after that........... but slowly with time I grew a little thicker skin and didn't fuss too much about her popping on to The Journey from time to time. It certainly wasn't on her daily read list...
This morning she called me to discuss work problems - and we got talking about my "new gentleman friend" as I refer to him with my girls.
Lo and behold she has been on The Journey to read the uncensored version of Mom's "new gentleman friend" (double le sigh) ............ I spent so many years worrying about my girls when they were dating - mostly worrying about broken hearts....... now the tables are turned ...... and she is worried about Mom getting hurt (yet again) and threatening to hunt him down if he does........ le sigh ........... just like I was with her when she was dating...........
Talk about role reversal ........... le sigh...
le laugh...how the wheel turns
ReplyDeleteAt least she is concerned from a good place in her heart - not making accusations or anything. I don't know how I'd feel about certain people reading my blog. There is a friend of mine IRL who reads it, and one other who has the URL but doesn't. I don't think I'd want family in on it!
ReplyDeleteYou deserve to be treated with kindness and respect, which this guy is doing. (He sure knows how to wake up your libido!) So trust your instincts--not your insecurities!--and just enjoy your time with him, no matter what the future holds.
ReplyDeleteAckhem. Eldest daughter here.
ReplyDeleteI check in from time to time to make sure that my amazing Mom is doing well. I didn't need to check out the blog to know what happened. I am the daughter, I know by the tone of voice my Mom uses.
Dating now can be a strange and dangerous especially with the online component mixed in. I know that it works, especially after finding my partner, but I get to be concerned about my Mom. No one ever prepares you for your parents to be single, and I have worried about both of my parents at one time or another while they were dating. I just want my Mom to be happy.
Now Mom, we have never had the most traditional relationship. We have always been super open and honest about sex and what goes on in our lives. That is what makes what we have awesome. Where some Moms never discuss sex with their daughters, you took me to get my first vibrator. I believe you also bought me my first flogger. Don't censor yourself for my sake. I won't read anything I don't want to, and I will never judge you for what you need. God knows I have needs all of my own.
Just be safe. And know that I love you.
Wow, what a great daughter you are, like your Mum it seems. I also have 2 daughters also in the kink world and have faced similar issues, it's nice that I can be their safe call if needed and they 'get' why it's needed. Sadly they also 'borrow' my stuff! I agree fully about the openness about sex, it's great and I know that they trust me enough to ask questions, they are both still in very young adulthood and I prefer it like that.
