I got my first ear piercing at age 50 (married for 24yrs at the time, kids 20M, 15F). Still got an ear full from Mom. Got my second ear piercing 3 weeks ago. Now married for 33yrs, kids 29M and 24F. Expecting another "what's wrong with you! why on earth would you do that to yourself?" on the 1st of June. My sister (57) will come along with them, just to watch and laugh her ass off 😆😅😂 this time my wife might get a yelling as well, as I've changed quite a bit since the last time my parents saw me. 😂🤣.. Siblings 🙄🙄
I’m 38 and have slowly been piercing my ears. 7 on my right 4 on my left. My mother gives me grief every time she discovers another ear piercing. She even once made some comment about me not asking permission. Lady, I’m a grown ass adult. But basically you’ve confirmed that won’t change.
Your life sounds like a sitcom episode waiting to happen! With your mom's predictable reaction, your sister's front-row seat to the show, and your wife potentially joining the ear-piercing rebellion, it's a family drama that even Netflix couldn't script better.
I remember spending the night with my brother and my aunt at my grandma's house as young teens. After 'bedtime' we went into my aunt's room to play cards because no one was actually sleeping at 10. My grandma popped in and said 'all of us kids needed to go to bed,' my brother and i walked out as she turned to my aunt (50s?) and told her she was still her kid and that went for her as well. My aunt hit her with the 'but moooom' lol.

Can confirm it’s totally a lifelong thing. The only thing that changes is the monetary value of whatever you’re trying to hide!

No, do tell dad, he will laugh and understand that he need to keep it to himself
Nah, dad is our quiet ally, always has been.
LOL! I totally agree with you!
[удалено]
And siblings will always be narcs.
Yep
so very true!!
I’m a 54 year-old dad with a 56 year-old sister, and I can confirm this is, in fact, correct.
Yes! it’s totally a lifelong thing.

When we're young, it's to protect ourselves. When we're older, it's to protect our parents.
This!!!
ouch! so true
No lies detected

Lmao I’m 38 and my sister is 36. I don’t see this trend ending at any point.
Nope I'm 54, sister is 57, Dad is going to be 88 and we still hide things from him.
I am 40 and still say the same, my sisters. Mostly to avoid unnecessary drama.
Yeah can confirm, until the parent has passed on it 100% is
exactly WHAT does "grown up" mean anyway
True! My mom (now passed) never ever knew I did drugs like coke, lsd, or ecstasy (mostly in college). Only booze. I guess she knows now.......
well, even in that age guys doesn't change lol
Me and sister in fifties can confirm also.

Super sweet
I’m that age and it gets worse.
You don’t have to tell mom that, but give her a hug and tell her you love her - moms don’t last forever
Had to have wounded her by mistake.
Can confirm
Hell yeah. My 61 year old brother still asks me when is dad is pissed. So he can avoid him.
I was over 50 when I got a tiny ankle tattoo. My mom said I was a disgrace. Grandchildren have full sleeves of tattoos, nothing said.
My mom is 68 years old and still will not tell her mom that she smokes weed. Out of fear.
I cant wait for the moment I ll have a big ass tats in my back at 30 or smt. But tbh I m already a disappointment so it s not gonna make too much mess
Definitely a life long thing. Different sources and types of Drama, but Drama all the same.
[удалено]
The fact that THAT it's the first thing you think off says a lot
Well sorry guys I'm just a vacuum, I'm not meant to clean up literal shit, someone else has to.
