Girl talks to mum about having sex with her boyfriend

Mom: I want to know about him, what does he do? Are you serious about this guy?

Me: He works in the film industry. He’s two years older. Yes we’re serious.

Mom: Okay then I want to meet his parents. I want to talk to this guy and I want to talk to his parents. Your dad also agrees with me. What kind of guy would do this sort of thing, take you to his place to stay the night?

Me: Yeah I don’t think this conversation is about you meeting his parents. I think we need to talk about me, my body, my decisions.

Me: Sure you can. We can arrange that. But why’re you so agitated about what I do with my relationships? I’m old enough to make my own decisions.

Mom: Don’t think I don’t know you already had sex. You have no shame!!

Me: Yeah I have. He’s not the first.

Mom: No they don’t.

Me: Sure, maybe not from your social circle. But just because you don’t know people who have casual and safe sex, doesn’t mean it’s non-existent.

Mom: You’re so cheap.

Me: I’m happy....
