My D17 was just in my livingroom with her 2 male friends, also 17. My S12 was talking to them, when he was supposed to be doing his homework.
We had a conversation, that I am sure contains multiple points that could offend someone. But wait until you hear why all 3 17year olds were offended.
Me: "S12 if you do not stop talking and get your homework done, I am literally going to kill you. Wait, instead, go find me a belt, i will just beat you instead."
S12: "Mom, i'm doing it now,chill out. You need a man."
OK, So me threatening to kill him and beat him did not even raise an eyebrow for the 17's. Him telling me to chill and saying I need a man, still no problem in their world.
It was the word "man" that completely upset all three of them. Now-a-days you have to say "partner" It is sexist to assume I want a male partner and not a female partner.
I am all for gay rights and I have many many gay friends whom I love to death. But has it really become politically incorrect to say man and woman? I do not want to be insensitive, so I am truly asking if me saying something like "God I need a man" am I being rude?
Me: 42 H: 45 M: 18 yrs T: 20 yrs D: 17 D: 15 S: 12 I kicked him out 8/21/15 I will DB until March 21st 2017, that is it!
