The folks over at ReadUnWritten surveyed people aged 16-25 to ask them their most AWKWARD experience they’ve had with their parents. Here’s what people had to say.
14. They’re a little late giving you the sex-ed talk.
“They tried to give me the sex talk when I was 19. Thanks, that would have helped when I was 12 and people made fun of me for not knowing what a condom was.”
13. You are grounded for eating a muffin.
“Once I ate my mom’s muffin with a friend of mine. My dad brought five muffins home that day so that there would be one for each of us. We all ate our muffins except for my mom because she was on a diet. That night, my friend and I decided to share the muffin that my mom didn’t eat because we assumed she didn’t want it. The next morning, my dad realized that my friend and I had devoured my mom’s muffin while everyone else was asleep and was not happy. My friend and I were downstairs in my room with the door closed so my brother couldn’t get in when we heard a loud banging on the door. We thought it was my brother so we kept yelling for him to go away. Instead, I heard my dad yell, ‘YOU ATE MAMA’S MUFFIN!!’ I quickly opened the door and let him in. It wasn’t long before my friend was called a slob and told to go home. Meanwhile, I was grounded for eating the forbidden muffin. Moral of the story: never eat your mom’s muffin.”
12. You just don’t care.
“I walk around without pants on and my dad always feels awkward. Even though it’s awkward, I’m not stopping.”
11. They treat you like you’re still a child.
“Every time we watch a sex scene. They don’t act chill and just watch it, they say, ‘OH, no this is SO bad!!’ My mom covers her eyes and then they end up fast forwarding through the scene. They have done this my entire life. I can handle it, it just makes it 1000 times worse.”
