Mother's Day Secrets
Written by Elaine Wilson, Posted on
In honor of Mother’s Day, Jimmy Kimmel asked mothers to reveal secrets that their children had no idea about. One mom admits to loving marijuana, while another shocks her daughter by confessing about her naked mud wrestling days. As a mother myself, I decided to ask my friends what their children may be surprised to learn about them. And yes, there are a couple of mine in here. And no, I'm not telling which!
“This is a “two mum” story. Before we met, we lived in two different cities. As fate would have it, we both ended up at the same time in a hospital being treated for depression in a third city. That is where we met, and haven't been apart since."
"Somewhere in the possession of my brother-in-law, are pictures of my husband and me snow moblilng naked when we were around 19 or 20 years old, pre married days. One of my greatest fears is that he is going to bust those pics out for my kids one day."
"My kids have some wonderful friends that have two moms, who are a married lesbian couple. I’ve made out with both of them. At the same time."
"My kids dad and I were actually not legally married until our oldest child was almost three. But we told everyone we were."
"I gave a baby up for adoption."
"I slept with one of my professors in college."
"I never smoked a cigarette until I was 34. I liked it and smoked a few more."
"After my divorce, I waited several years to begin dating. My first relationship was very fast and very intense with a guy who won national bodybuilding titles in England. He got transferred back to London (he ran an international construction company) and asked me to pack us all up and move over there with him to get married. I let him go. But we were at the airport. I almost left everyone and everything behind except the kids and dogs. I drove them to the beach instead. I still wonder to this day if I shouldn’t have gone. Their lives would've been TOTALLY different."
"When I was 17, I went to Vegas to marry my first boyfriend. But then I got cold feet and called my father to come get me."
"Although my children know that I date both men and women, they know nothing about my wild side. One night when I was at a casino in Mesquite, having had a few too many drinks, I struck up a conversation with an equally inebriated woman sitting next to me on an outside patio. After a little drunken bonding, I then made out with this woman -- this complete stranger whose name I could not even remember -- in public while my sober friend (and DD) sat uncomfortably nearby."
What are some secrets that your children would be shocked by?
