im 16 and an only child but last wednesday when my parents and I were visiting my grandparents
my parents sat me down and gave me "The Talk" like i didnt know all that stuff anyway but
they've never been comfortable talking to me about that stuff now all of a sudden after they got done
explaining stuff they told me they wanted to have another baby because they enjoyed raising me
and that they're going to try. It grosses me out because we stayed in a hotel that night and that night it was like 6
and we'd just got home from dinner and they asked me if I minded waiting in the bathroom while they had sex
and ever since they got home thats all they've done.They keep touching eachother and making out. and I got in trouble recently
and they took away my Walkman away so i dont have headphones to drown out everything but they're really loud and my room is right next to theirs
and I cant go anywhere because im introuble and im not allowed out on school nights.its like they've just become open about all this.
like tonight we were all watching a movie and they couldnt keep their hands off eachother and then my mom told me that I had to go to bed before 10
and this was like at 8 and that they were going to go take a shower and then .... I hate this its so gross.I dont even want another sibling. its stupid
I tried talking to them but they said its not my decision. and its weird going to the mall and waiting outside some stupid lengerie store for your parents to
pick out stuff and then going to the store while your mom buys pregnancy tests. ↓

| That is wrong that they are making you wait in bathrooms and go to bed early. Tell them that this is your life too and you're uncomfortable with them annocing their sex life to you. ↑ |

| I agree with Kristina. I do think it's great that they want to have another baby, but they should NOT be so "open" about it....no one wants to hear their parents having sex....nevertheless wait in the bathroom for them to finish! ↑ |

| sounds to me like someones jealous. lol. yea, i mean your parents are being kind of too open with all this but you need to tell them exactly what you just told us. you see that theyre happy and that the want another baby but they dont need to be so open about it. i think them telling you to wait in the bathroom was stupid. theyre being a little too selfish with each other and need to consider how you feel. however, just because your an only child deosnt mean its not going to be good to have another sibling. you get everything you want now and your afraid that its not going to be like this anymore?!? is that whats bothering you? (besides the fact that your parents need to calm it down a bit) i am 18 years old and i have a one year old sister and i love her to death. shes the cutest thing that i ever felt so close to. i hope everything works out for your parents and you get around the fact that your not going to be the only child because it really is a wonderful thing. ↑ |

| my only problem now is that when they have the baby I know that im going to be the one to take care of it while they're at work! It's not my baby!! I already clean the house and cook dinner most of the time. Im not taking care of a baby that isn't even mine when I have tons of HW after school ↑ |

| its really not that bad amber. yes, your parents should take care of their own child but obviously they had no problem raising you. thats life. people work. like i was saying before, i have a little sister and i love her to death. i took her to day care and picked her up before and after school and at night when she would wake up, i would have to get out of the bed to get her because she wouldnt go to anyone else. i loved her like she was my own and it hurt when i moved out of the house. but shes my baby sister not my baby. i had no problem with it because you have that special bond with them. i too was in high school but i managed to keep the AB honorole. they dont want to have the baby to make you feel like its yours, but thats whats so special about having a sibling. you wouldnt have half the things you have right now if you didnt have to work around everyones schedule. you dont know what its like to have a sibling and i think that your scared, but really give it a chance and quit whining about it. a baby really is a special thing and your going to have to help out regaudless of your age. ↑ |

| I feel sorry for you, it's bad enough to know that your parents are having sex but, when you have to actually witness it...yuck. I think it is reall inappropriate to make out in front of a child reguardless of their age. it's disrespectful...the most my husband i do is a small kiss in the company of our daughter...but little sibling really aren't that bad, just be up front with your parents, after all you are in high school and there events and experiences that you shouldn't miss. ↑ |

| another problem My mom says that next year I was going to go to this school for a semester its a terrific school and now my mom was like maybe you shouldn't go because we'll need help with the baby, They know ive been looking forward to going to this its an art school, its 7000 dollars and I'm paying for it. but now she wont let me go ↑ |
| Name: heather | Date: Oct 5th, 2005 11:04 PM |
| no, you should go. if thats what you want then tell her. tell her that youd rather continue to follow your wishes of your future and not stay around. tell her that its not that you dont want to help out but you want the art school more than anything. ↑ |

| Im sorry but your parents are disgusting! You should have them read these postings what kind of responsible parents tell there child to go wait in the bathroom so they can have sex. Y ou should not have to deal with that they could have at least lied and said they were going to take a shower and just kept it down. Groooooooooss. ↑ |

| i have 2 children. my oldest son is 13 1/2. he knows that his dad and i decided to try for another child and he was very excited. but even so. we waited until we were alone, like if he was at a friends or after he was asleep. there have been a few times over the years that he has heard us and when i found out i was really embarrassed. they should never intentionally put you in a position where you have to feel that uncomfortable. it is natural for your parents to have sex and there is nothing wrong with it but it should be done with more class and respect for your feelings. as far as them not keeping there hands off each other, i think it is very good for parents to show affection in front of their kids like holding hands, a kiss or a cuddle. that is very healthy. but if they are groping each other and making out that is a different story. i would ask to sit down with your parents and tell them how you feel. maybe you can come to an agreement that works for all of you. but why are you so against a baby. my 13 and 6 year old sons are thrilled to have a new sibling. my 13 year old cryed when he found out he was having a sister. and yes there will probably be some times where he will change a diaper or feed a bottle but thats life. all big brothers or sisters have probably helped out a little. the baby is your parents responsibility, but just because you help out a little doesnt mean your parents want you to raise the baby. ↑ |
