on monday i started packing my things for tuesday (for school)so i looked for a sports outfit for gym class. but mine was all swetty from last time and i forgot to wash it. so i looked in my moms closet...i opened a box and hoped she has something good to wear in there but instead i saw a fake penis..and a magazine with naked women and men in there. i was really shocked i mean i know that my parents are having sex sometimes but i never thought they take that so serious. and i feel really stupid in this house and i'm not talking to my mom anymore but it's really dump cause usually i could talk with her about everything but now i just dont trust her , cause she lies to me a lot lately! so what should i do?
Additional info, added Saturday May 20 2006, 7:56 am: well when i said she's lying to me i also meant other stuff not just the sex part...=/.

Elcee answered Monday May 22 2006, 2:25 pm: I wouldn't be very pleased if I found one of my children going through my things regardless of how innocent the search was. It would also embarrass me to know that they had looked into my cupboards and drawers and found my things.
I don't think you should say anything about what you found because it really is none of your business. It may be that they were bought for a laugh or because your Dad had a problem for a while.
You don't have the right to judge your parents on their private life and you should not question her about it. As for trust, I think that you have broken hers at the moment. Trust is earned both ways and lying is never productive. Can you honestly say that you have not told a white lie or a fib occasionally?
You don't say how old you are so I am guessing that you are still quite young. In which case your Mum will have great difficulty in talking to you about this. If you really find it difficult to talk to your Mum generally, it might be a good idea to apologise for going through her things if she knows.

babiigirl answered Friday May 19 2006, 3:13 pm: Unless you have asked your mom before if she has sex toys then technically she is not lieing to you. Your mom is married and they do have sex. They do have to plessure eachother. Im guessing your kinda young. Have those items are not being to serious especially as and adult. [ babiigirl's advice column | Ask babiigirl A Question ]
ThatWouldBeAPlan answered Friday May 19 2006, 2:34 pm: In such cases as these, it's best you don't bring up the subject at all. Do your best to clear those images from your mind. Even though you don't want to think of your parents in terms of them having sex, they are still regular people. They don't stop being that once they have kids. Your mother would probably be extremely embarassed if she found out what you saw, so it's best to never bring it up. Just because your parents don't tell you everything doesn't mean that they are lying to you and that you shouldn't trust them. It's simply that some things are personal and not something they want to talk about with their kids. Perhaps someday you'll be a parent in this situation reversed, so think about it that way. You saw nothing. [ ThatWouldBeAPlan's advice column | Ask ThatWouldBeAPlan A Question ]

Tulipg17 answered Friday May 19 2006, 11:43 am: You shouldn't have gone through her stuff without permission, and there isn't anything remotely unusual about your parents having sex toys, most people (adults) do! Frankly, such things are none of your business. If you feel that your mom has lied to you, talk to her about it. It's very important to have a good relationship with your mother. Don't be embarassed to talk to her now because of what you saw, I wouldn't mention it because it would embarass HER but please know that it is completely normal.

BRUNETTE__BABiE__CAKESZ answered Friday May 19 2006, 10:50 am: hey, well talking to your mom is very important. afterall, your mom is your best friend no matter what. you guys should be open to each other and be able to confront each other in a time of need. this is def. a time of need. yes, she may be mad at you for "snooping" in her belongings without asking, but just explain to her what you were really looking for -- gym clothes. then explain to her what you found. have a talk about it. dont explode on her for having those items. just calmly talk to her. cait♥ [ BRUNETTE__BABiE__CAKESZ's advice column | Ask BRUNETTE__BABiE__CAKESZ A Question ]
