When you were a child you used to ask parents about anything and tell them everything. What happened that made you stop being open and honest with your parents?

I stopped when I found out that I couldn't trust my mother anymore! I still don't tell her anything that is going on in my life....

I didn't stop, I still tell mine everything. She has eyes in the back of her head. If I did it she already knows about it, no matter what I do or where I go, she already knows. I can't hide a thing from that woman, don't have a clue how she does it but she does. Dad is the only one that doesn't have a clue as to what is going on, unless mom tells him of course.

Because when we were kids you asked questions like why is the sky blue and it was all cute and adorable. But as we got older we needed answers about sex, drugs, and other things that our parents would frown upon. It just wasn't as cute. I definitely stopped openly talking to my parents about a lot of things once I became a teenager.

I never had that relationship with my parents. I have two daughters. One still tells me everything and asks about ANYTHING. The other tells me quite a bit and asks some questions, but knows I wouldn't approve of some of her actions, so she doesn't share that with me.

My dad passed away three years ago. I used to go to him with everything. I have tried to be open and honest with my mom but it just isn't the same. She is too stuck on her new boyfriend to care about her kids.

When I realized that my mother was into what I had to say just so she could brag about how her daughters could talk to her about anything.
When my mother started pushing her way into mine and my sister's frienships because she wanted to be the 'cool mom'.
When my mother started telling me how much she needed to talk and I would get to hear about her and my father's sex life.
When I would tell my mother about something that was bothering me and I would hear about how she had it so much worse.
Should I keep going? There is lots more.
Oh, I could still talk to my dad about things but not everything.
Hey - this site is good therapy!

I realized the type of people my parents/family was....I opened my eyes and knew that if I wanted someone to know something it wouldn't be them.
My parents are hypocritical and judgmental and I don't like that.

I believe it's the embarassment. We start to ask our friends and then realize that somethings might not be good to asking our parents. I did that, I was to embarassed or scared they were going to be upset I was asking certain types of questions.

The problems became bigger ones and parents tend to get over protective and freak out and you end up paying for that!

i still do for the most part. I was never close to my mom to begin with, but with my dad, I've always been able to talk to him. Actually it might have gotten better as I've gotten older and he can actually understand my problems as an adult compared to when I was a boy-crazy teen.
