When you were younger did you get a kick out of hiding something like smoking from your parents or did you just not care? If you never smoked, what did you hide from your parents. I enjoy hiding things from my parents because I get a thrill out of that edge of them finding out. However when they found out I acted like I had an emotional breakdown in front of them so they would get sympathy out of me and not ground me or something.
I told my parents straight up that I was smoking weed but because my grades were high, they didnt care too much. This was also grade 11-12 so even less worries there. I'm more in a situation where I'm telling them I'm doing something rather than asking for permission.
I didn't care.
I told my mother I was smoking dope when I was younger and she didn't seem to care. I could tell my mother just about anything and I doubt she'd care, as long as it doesn't affect her.
My mother and I are very similar in that way. Not much bothers either of us.
I've let my daughter smoke marijuana once and drink whiskey. I figure if she's gonna experiment, I'd rather she try it while I'm around.
Back in the days I used to hide a lot of stuff from my parents and my close friends:
- smoking
- using dope
- sexuality
Basically I didn't care. Doing those things in secret was a necessity not a thrill. But what was interesting and somewhat thrilling though is that I had to bullshit them (be it my parents or my partner) constantly and I was pretty creative about it, so I'd say that part was thrilling.
And of course I got found out and with more bullshit and knowing which 'buttons' to press I managed to get through that shit-storm unscathed (unstained would be more appropriate).
My familiy is also not like most of the others. My siblings are broken/ruined. Maybe 2 of them have some skills like I have, but don't know how to handle with. (Sister 1 is too silly, sister 3 too young)
Our mother was not interested in most of our experiences. Because I was firstborn she blabla a lot, in the first years, until sister 1 was coming.
I've stolen and talked back also in this time. (I was starting early.)
I don't care, what my parents thought about my doings. And their beating, when I lived at home, was for nothing. I don't see them often now.
