ever catch your parents doing stuff they told you was wrong?

[toys2cool]

I posted this on another thread,but it got me thinking of some of the stuff you catch your parents doing
"it's funny cause I use to love Kiss when I was a little kid,just because of the toys I use to see and a couple of videos,but my Step dad would tell us NO WAY IN HELL! that music is Satanic and my mom would be like yeah it's true,listen to your dad.

But when my mom got divorced we were going thru an old case of records and GUESS WHAT I FOUND? IN BETWEEN HER HUGE ELVIS COLLECTION...3 KISS RECORDS,I was like mom...what the hell?? she just started cracking up and let me have them,I've been a huge fan ever since"

My step dad would tell me never to watch porn or stuff like that,but then at night he use to sneak off when my mom fell asleep and we use to catch him watching the playboy channel

what about you guys?

This thread can get ugly quick!!!

My parents use to take "naps" alot in the afternoon!!! I always thought it didn't look very comfortable to sleep like that, the couple times they forgot to lock the door!!!

I did catch them bringing down Christmas presents out of the attic in the middle of the night. I was pretty much on the verge of not believing in Santa and this finally did it in.

1. Smoking
2. Breaking in to the empty house next door.
3. Drugs.

As a parent they could get away with anything just by saying
"do as I say, not as I do"

The only answar I could give was to stomp up the stairs saying
"it's not fair" and slam my bedroom door.

Although I didn't really want to do any of those things.

I saw my parents wrapping Ernie & Bert from Sesame Street for us for Crimbo and Santa ceased to exist for me

Using the "F" Bomb is the biggest one I can think of.

My mom would always tell me that I should save myself until marriage and would constantly repeat it over and over.

I asked her if she waited and she said "yes"....she wasn't lying. What I did find out well after I was a teenager was that she married my father when she was 17 years old and basically fibbed on the marriage license to say she was 18 (you couldn't get married at 17 without your parents permission).

Given her circumstances, I understand why she did what she did. My father was drafted to go fight in the Korean War and he wanted to have someone committed to him to come home to. Apparently, she was in High School at the time and back when she was married (early 1950's she said that they used to throw you out of school if you were married...sounds funny to hear that today). I do remember looking at her High School yearbook and reading her schoolmates comments....a lot of them said "I know your secret...ha, ha....it's safe with me" She wouldn't tell me what the secret was until I was older.

I joke around with her now and she's a good sport about it. Her heart was in the right place but I did tell her it was easy for her to say "wait" when she was only 17!
