My mom is dishing my secrets with Dad!


 

Check these out, too...

  • 10 things to tell your mom anytime
  • I don't want to leave my friends behind when school ends
  • My dad is sexually abusing me. How can I tell my mom?
  • Is there a way to flirt without being obvious?
  • My best gal is branching out...and I'm not OK with it
My mom picked me up from camp the other day, and I was upset about not getting to play during a softball game. When my mom asked what was wrong, I told her. I was still upset later at home, and my dad asked me what was wrong. I said, “Nothing.” Then I heard my parents whispering in the other room, and my mom told my dad why I was upset. Should I just keep everything a secret? How can I trust my mom?

 

Dear Secret,

Keep trusting your mom and, when possible, open up to your dad. Your mom isn’t guilty of gossipy blabbing—after all, she just told your father about something that upset you because they both love and care about you. That said, tell your mom when you want her to keep something secret. For example, if you confide in her about your period or a boy you like, explain that you’d be angry if she were to tell anyone else (even your dad). Add, “I want to be able to confide in you about things, Mom, without worrying about it getting leaked.”

I used to really dislike that, but I realized that my mom was sharing secrets with my dad because they both want to make sure I'm okay.

Hey girls! If you like to read, write or both could you please join my club "Bookworms & Writers"? I am trying to reach at-least 55 members by the end of the week and right now I'm at 43. I would really appreciate your help! Smile

My Mom tells my dad everything that happens during the day, and if something bad happened, it puts him in a bad mood. I have to be on my best behaivor always because I am really worried about him! He is so stressed with his work and has high blood pressure too. I just don't tell them anything anymore and try to stay secluded because I don't want to upset anybody and improve my dads health. I want to hang out with dad again like I used to and open up about my life and whats going on. I used to be able to tell him anything, and now, he doesn't have time for me. Frown
