Why would you expect anybody to come on a public forum and pan their parents?

rofl
@Kean,you prolly gave her reasons to do so and moreso maybe you guys have not been togeda long enough to know each other well so busybody is not the right word,shes just be concerned,lol most parents do anyway.
@topic,my mum doesnt fret over little things sha.if i decide to tell her fine,if not she wud observe and look the other way funny enough i always do come back to her for consultations and help.sweeeeeeeeet mama

@Topic

Parents tend to solve every problem communually. It is just their nature to do so because they never understood much about privacy. I would be disgusted too. I just let them know how I feel and explain to them how hurt and disappointed I am in their poor judgement in handling my affairs.

Thank heavens as adults the have come to understand that topics about their children are off limits to other family members. . .especially the extended group of family members.

At least your mom apologized. Hopefully she will not do it again. Such things can really hurt, especially if they serve as breakfast and tales by moonlight bed time stories for other extended family members.

Just communicate how you feel nicely to them and let them understand how you feel about such things. Communication is always the key!

@poster

Are you in that situation? if so it is better for you to let them realize that you are at ease with their ways? Which of them is a busybody or both?

You need to sit her down and tell her the honest truth.Make her understand how you feel and i am sure she will change for better because she will not want to hurt you with her habits. I think she will change if you can talk to her about it.

i dnt think my mom has ever ever asked me if i was pregnant. . .she only did it jokingly when i went from size 2 to 4 in a month . . .my mom knows me enough to know am not crazy enough to get pregnant without a husband. no, not even mistakenly. I've witnessed what that "mistake" is like, dnt think i want to go through that with an innocent baby. am not saying am perfect, am just saying that i know right from wrong, i know fire from sunflowers.

my mom is not a busy body, never asked me personal questions like that. . . often times, its scary how she trusts me and how she demands i must make a brighter future for myself.


_{I love you mommy!!}

moms are busy bodies,that's in their DNA.
They do it mainly because they care
