Lies!!! It's always secrets and lies....

[Saz]

So today I was in the kitchen idly chatting to my sister, when all of the sudden she blurts out that our Mum is actually five years older than I originally though. WTF?! Obviously I laugh this off, but then my other sister says it's true apparently acouple of months ago when my uncle came to visit, he got drunk (he's a lightweight) and spilled out the information and when confronted about it my Mum confirmed it to be true. Don't know where I was at the time or why nobody told me but hey...

Well anyway I asked her and she said it was true and that it was mainly just because when we moved years ago, we moved into an estate with loads of young couples, well younger than my mum and dad were, and they wanted to fit in and makes friends so thought it would be easier pretending to be in around their age. Also she seems to believe that everyone lies about it. 0.o

I really don't know how to take it, why lie? I just don't understand, for all these years I've thought my mum and dad were 47 and 49, now I find out they're actually 52 and 54.... Seriously my mind's blown, I can't really talk to my mum about it because she seems to be quite sensitive abou the subject, but I don't know, in a way I feel almost cheated.

Well just needed to get that out. Just out of curiousity has anyone had any thing like that happen in their family?

It's really not that uncommon for elders to lie about their age, though to their children, I'm not so sure. Take it with a grain of salt, age ain't nothing but a number.

(Joke...or am I? DUN DUN DUN)

Are you sure your family isn't playing a joke on you?

[Saz]

Definately sure. Apparently when my youngest sister found out she was in tears. I don't know why but it is a weird feeling, when I think it over it's not really a huge deal but I can't help feeling cheated.

Trust me every family has had problems. Im sure your family will overcome this with time. =)

[Saz]

It's not a family problem. It's really just my problem, everyone else seems at ease with the situation. I don't know, perhaps I'll get over it, I suspect I will.

It always sucks when you're lied to, especially when someone lies about their age...I can see how you feel cheated.


Because you've probably already had the familar thought of one of them dying when they get older and you shrug it off because you're like 'well they're only forty something' and now when you think like that you might see time running out for them.

I myself would be pretty mad, I've been lied to a few times by chicks about their ages...hell I've lied about my age when I was younger(being taller I looked older I was loving the attention!).

Anywho I'm sure you'll get over it if it's not some type of cruel joke, and btw dudes, always ID the chick you're talking to...even if you're buying her a friggin pepsi lol, just be like 'show me some ID bish.'.

I hadn't even thought of that. =(

O_O my bad for putting that thought in your head though I myself only thought about it once and when my dad died last month it really hit me that death can take the ones you love anytime. Age doesn't matter at all. My dad was only like 37 or 38.

That would really suck for your parent to die. I hope your feeling better now Turles.

Sauzza, is that why you were in a bad mood this morning? Because your parents lied to you.

If you think five years off is a big deal, think how she must feel. =o

No, I found out this afternoon after I went online. And I wasn't in a bad mood, sorry if I caused you offense, sometimes my attempts at humor can come off as aggressive or rude. Apologise.

You didn't offend me or anything you just seemed a little angry. So did your parents make a big deal out of this?

About 2 yrs ago something came in the mail for my mom, but it had a different last name on it. So i asked her about it and she confessed that she had been married once before my dad now. This was obviously before i was born, but i felt the same way you probably feel now. The marriage was only a little while and they had no kids, but it was still a little weird. They were young and rushed things.

Dont worry it will pass and this will all blow over soon enough

I know how you feel paragus. Around two years ago my dad told me he had 2 ex-wives. Now him and my mom are divorced and he has married for the fourth time. At least my stepmom is pretty cool. But the point is we all get over stuff eventually so don't worry Sauzza.
