    Default Rant: Snooping Mothers

    I don't use Myspace for my personal page much anymore, except to contact friends who refuse to use Facebook. I got a call from my mom with the question. "E****, are you bisexual?" In a very accusing tone.

    I have no plan to come out to my family because it is none of their god damn business.

    Turns out she had been poking around myspace and found my brother's page, then found mine by his friends list. And found my sexual orientation listed as bi, which I am.

    My shit's set to private now because my mother decided to snoop. If I didn't use that page one a month, I would delete it.

    She never snooped before and now she's decided to, and god am I angry. I never snooped in her shit, and she has no business poking around in mine.

    OMG Snooping mom's are the worst. My mom used to have passwords to my email, myspace, any forums i was on, etc. I finally got wise and changed everything, so now she just signs up for anything I sign up for, then gets mad at me for the stuff I post. She used to open my mail and stuff, too.

    I'll be so happy to move away. So very, very happy.

    wait.. if your page wasnt private, you can't be upset that she saw it. you put that information out in the open on the internet, for any and everyone to see. if you didn't want certain people to see it, you shouldnt put it out there or you shouldve made it private. i dont think it's fair to be upset with your mom.

    She demanded that I take it off. That's what bugged me.

    Lol, good thing my parent don't know about MySpace. Or any of my business, for that matter.

    My bro demanded that I took down a photo of me on a pole. But it was at a friend's house. I was wearing shorts and flipflops, jokin around. I took it down to keep the peace.

    Ugh, snooping parents are the worst. When I lived with my parents, they would go through my backpack while I was at work and read notes that friends had written to me and listen in on my phone calls. I was a good kid too and didn't cause trouble-it made me mad.

    People can still see your sexual orientation on Myspace if your page is private if they know your real name and type it in the "Search" box, so if there's nosy people out there that you don't want knowing, just change it to "No Answer".

    WTF? Your sexual orientation and how and when you choose to reveal it is none of your mom's business. You can shout it from the mountaintops and she still has no right to come at you like that.

    Sounds like parts of my family: bigots.

    I've nevr known my mother to be bigoted. SHE was the one who took my very racist dad to meet a 'mixed' couple who he became very good friends with. SHE rode around with the Hell's Angels. SHE encouraged me to break away from my family when it was time. SHE bought me my first diary with a promise that she would never touch it. (And I rigged it with a thread that would break if you opened the lock. She never did) So why she decided to poke around now, I don't know.

    I didn't mean to bash your mom...this is just a sensitive topic for me. Like, one of the most.

    oh no! You didn't! I'm sorry if it sounded like I was accusing you of such. I was just elaborating.

    Ick! That sucks. It reminds me of something that happened to me.

    My sister friended me on MySpace. She created the account JUST to friend me (literally, she has no other friends unless you count Tom). She can be a bit judgmental as well.

    But she knows I'm bisexual. She isn't happy that I was dancing though (I told her I stopped) and it makes it hard on me because I don't want her to lecture me.

    I'm sorry she invaded your privacy though. I feel like I can commiserate.

    Oh, its cool. I'm just trying to be more sensitive these days and I realized that saying, "Yo, yo mama is a bigot" might not come off so hot. lol

    My parents kicked me out of both of their houses when I was a kid for coming out as bi. In fact, I didn't exactly come out--my mom snooped in my room and found this retarded little "so you're a gay kid" book. I was 13. She dumped me on my dad as punishment for both of us because he had just tried to start a new family. Dad ended up dumping me on my nana because a queer kid didn't fit in his shiny new crew. My nana took me in when no one else would. What parents do to their queer kids is an absolute tragedy.

    I don't think checking out your MySpace page is really "poking around." How was she supposed to know that you didn't want her to look at it?

    I look at my friends' and relatives' MySpace pages all the time.
