Welcome to the Jungle

We all know that mother’s only want the best for their children. But why is it that mom’s in this day and age are obsessed with thinking the worst of their daughters when they come to realize that if they’re in their late 20’s and aren’t settled down, they automatically think the worst. 

Just because I haven’t had a real boyfriend since… well, whatever — I’ve had one, okay — doesn’t mean that I’m a lesbian. Not that there’s anything wrong with that! Just because all my friends are getting married and I’m the drunk one at their wedding, doesn’t mean that I’m going to be a spinster. And just because I’m on birth control doesn’t mean that I’m a slut. It does many other things besides prevent you from getting pregnant!

Let’s face it, I would rather my mom just not know about my love life and have her think the absolute worst of me, than to actually tell her that I have a boyfriend and have her interrogate me about him, only to break up with him the following week which in turn, will make me feel even worse about myself than I already do. Unfortunately, most mom’s just aren’t ‘cool mom’s’ and don’t understand that this isn’t the 1900’s anymore; the rules of dating have changed.

Since when did mother’s turn into those high school mean girls who used to spread rumors that you were gay because you dressed weird?
