My uncle embarrasses me!
My uncle asks embarrassing questions like, “Do you have a
boyfriend yet?” I feel uncomfortable talking to him about that kind of stuff.
How can I tell him to stop without seeming rude.
Is “None of your business!” too blunt? Maybe.
But that is essentially the message you want to get across. If you feel uneasy
talking to your uncle directly (and with his having such a major interest in
your romantic life, who wouldn’t?), ask your parents to intervene.
While it’s
nice that your uncle is interested in your world, he needs to respect some
boundaries. Your private life is just that—and there’s no need to start a blog
broadcasting all the details about your interest in boys. Your parents should
politely tell your uncle that his personal questions embarrass you.
If you have
a boyfriend and feel like sharing the news with your extended family members,
then you will. Until then, he’ll have to read TMZ to get his gossip fix.
