My parents rarely discuss me with other people. For a while my mum 'forgot' I was around and just bragged about my brother nonstop. One day one of her mates said 'Dont you have a daughter?" My mum was oh yeah, so I do and continued to talk about my brother. My aunt stepped in and bragged about me being the first in the family to get to Uni, how I had my own apartment and was doing well. All my mums mates suddnely wanted to talk about me, which annoyed my mum cause she couldnt think of anything decent to say about me.

That's unfortunate to hear. Even when my folks talk about me and I get sort of ashamed, a part of me knows that they do it because they truly care. Maybe, your folks are just more reserved about their affections toward you? I'd have to believe they have more than a few things at the very least 'decent' to say.
Take care all.

If my parents weren't already in my bad books, they sure as hell would be after the stuff they've told people about me. Its not even as if they've just mentioned petty little things, they tell people extremely personal things that nobody has any right to know, an things they know I don't want anybody to know. Their totally inconsiderate. I have never told anybody anything they've told me not to tell anyone, they should have the decency to do the same for me. Unfortunately they haven't.

My mom will talk non-negative things about me, but they won't be true
Example:
Adult Friend:My daughter just joined dance class!
Mom: Oh! My daughter was talking about that the other day!
Me: Uh...not really ma, I hate dancing...I never said that
Mom: Yes you did, yesterday!
Me: No ma, I was at amanda's yesterday
Mom:Then it was the day before that! Oh I can't wait til we get you in dance!
seriously. i think its the whole, "my daughter is better than urs" thing here

I don't really care. My mother can say what she likes about me and my Dad would never "gossip" about me in a nasty way, so I'm all good.
-
I think it's just something mother's talk about. If my grandpa tells bad stories of me of something stupid I did, I don't get mad, I get GLAD! get it?
Besides, I don't care, I did it, I don't care if people know. I have humility and no shame in many of my actions. Then again, I try to commit actions of decency.

I sit on the top step of the stairs and listen.

My parents (or atleast my mother) used to gossip about me in all thinkable ways and very often something that I'd rather not hear about, or something I've supressed for good reasons. I've never talked to my parents about my life and I never will but since I've grown up (a bit) I don't spend so much time at home so they don't have much to gossip about.
Everytime when we are (for instance) at my grandparents place and I say something like; Mom, you complain really much! she looks at me with her 'evil eyes' and then yells at me when we are on our way home. I've stopped caring. She won't accept any arguments so I stay away instead and she talks to me about how little she knows me nowadays.
No sh*t!

Parents are just parents. It's irritating sometimes, but its okay. They just like to ... hMmm...Where is that word again?? *opens dictionary* ... *opens thesaurus*... *opens ABC book* .. ehem.. nvm the last part. Anyways! what I'm saying is that .. hMmm... it's soooo hard to explain!! >< ... But like i said, its fine by me, but some compliments are sometimes a teeny weeny bitty smally etc. etc. irritating!
Like last time..
Dad (talking to a friend): This is my daughter, 13 years old! As you know, she is good in English and has many talents!
Friend (smiles at me): Oh really? That's good! You must've inherited that from your father.
Me: Uh, yeah, I guess. I've heard that once or twice.
Dad: She also has many suitors! But she drives them away. Education first before boyfriend-boyfriend!
Yeah, that kind irritates me...
EeEeKkKKKkk...:cry:
