Title: shocked

not sure if this is the right section to post this under so sorry if it isnt.

For about the last 2 weeks i couldnt find my fem clothes and then i noticed them they turned up in the closet all washed and cleaned.
I was trying to find them to wash them but someone beat me to it. I didnt think much more about it untill today when i went up to my room and my top and some other items of clothes turned up cleaned and on my bed.

I know my dad wouldnt do this i know my mum does the washing so i guess it was my mum thats doing this.
Im not complaining about what has happened im just puzzled becuase i thought she wasnt happy about me having womans clothes.

I just dont know what to think.

Wow, that sounds like progress on her part.  You may want to sit down and have a conversation with her.  Perhaps now she's a step closer to acceptance.  I would cherish the fact that she is now adjusting to it. :)

Maybe she know all along. Quite possibly she has accepted what you do. That's great. I agree with Melissa about having a conversation with her.

Sounds like you got a lil quiet acceptance from Mom. I would simply say "thank you" as an acknowledgement...it may further open the door.

Don't underestimate quiet fathers.. ;) (After all, they can work out how machines work, aswell.)

But yeah; it's a good thing these clothes are washed, because it shows acceptance. Well, either that, or they think you've been sneaking a girl in for the lonely nights. And I don't think they believe that, since you didn't find any condoms you haven't bought yourself in the cupboard, now have you?

If they're both silent about it, I think they're waiting for you to take the initiative to sit with them and tell them how you feel. However, I think you could see this as a hint that they're expecting you to do this soon.
