Out of the mouth of the teenage "step" brat

[freakygirl]

"That is so gay!"

She says this all the time.

I'm officially old. I don't get this saying. I assume she is saying the same way I used to say "That is so lame!"

But is something being gay.. a bad thing? I never thought so.

Gay means "happy" or "homosexual" correct? Neither of these are bad things.. (atleast I don't see them as being bad).

Don't even get me started on her rudeness to total strangers and friends of mine.

I hate some teenagers. God I'm old.. and I'm only 34 (almost)

I think I used that line until I was old enough to understand what exactly "Gay" meant.

I'm not sure where in the world you live, but you may want to considering getting the hell out of there if that's the local perception of 34 y/o women who post on Lit.


Come to NY. We'll take care of ya

She knows what gay means. She says it because her friends do.

I asked her if she knew why it offended me so much to hear her say it. She said "Gay is wrong.. it's gross". I decided I wasn't the one that should talk to her about some things.

I dreamt last night that she showed up at our house, many years from now, with her lesbian lover.

it might surprise you to know that i actually used that expression a few times when i was around 12-13 ... i didn't even think about what it meant at all or that i was saying gay equaled bad/gross ... it just was an expression that was being said by kids my age

im sure she'll grow out of it and it doesn't exactly mean that shes a homophobe or whatever but you're doing right thing saying you dont like her saying it

 

[freakygirl]

I have gay friends.. My children know and respect these people and this term offends them also.

I've figured out that the less I say to her the better everyone is. She goes out of her way to try to make me mad.

I'm with her . . . I've heard it from adolescent girls, never took it as really derogatory. I always thought they meant "goofy" or something along those lines.

 

[Freya]

I think in their heads, it just means stupid. My daughter uses it too and she's not a homophobe in any ways. But the more you let her know you dislike it, the more she's going to say it in front of you....that's the nature of teenagers. I'd say it's up to her father to handle this one. The one I never get is "It tastes like ass". I mean I get "It tastes like shit" no problem, but ass?

No worries, I'm old too and I'm only 32! Teenagers do that to ya...mine is 15 and god she ages me!

 

[Feelin' Naughty]

LOL, this is funny to me because of a thread I just posted. Read it and you will see why

Hang in there FG, it does get better I promise!

If they know it gets your goat by saying it they will. Teenager are just that way.....I KNOW!!!

My 14 year old stepdaughter says that all the time. In my case, substitute the word "fucked" for "gay" and you can understand her meaning. Usually heard when I have laid down the law about something.

You can have fun with this though. Experiment with various answers for amusement. For example, one time when she had declared my punishment "so gay", I turned to my wife and said "Honey, did you know I'm gay now?" She looked at me with a smirk on her face and said loudly "Like hell you are!" I'm telling you, even that vague reference to "parent sex" was enough to send the kid running from the conversation.

Or try the smartass approach: "You would know this how?"

Or the acceptance approach: "Yes, it is. Deal with it."

Teenagers are a pain in the ass, so make fun out every situation you can.

Side note to FG: I'm almost 35 and nowhere near being old.

Face it, the word has morped again, that happens in a living language. Rather anyone aproves or not is not likely to change the fact.

LOL...is it your weekend? My step daughter will be here in about an hour. We've had a great relationship. But now she is getting older. I find her staring at me a lot. Freaks me out. She rolls her eyes too much. Snaps her gum. Says "that sucks" way too much for a 11 year old.

My "weekend" ends in a few looooong hours. They have been here since Wednesday night. Next visit we get back to the "normal" every other weekend.. Friday to Sunday. I hope Mr Freaky can change his work schedule to have the weekends off. I can't handle these kids alone.

 

[MorgaineLaFay]

I have an extra one tonight.

I fucking hate that. Don't ask how I feel about it..just tell me I have a really cranky one coming over.

I will get to say

No don't touch that!

Please...

Shut up already!

No, I am not calling your mom again...

You just ate!

What is that?

Go to bed...now.

 

[BrenVarouse]

I have a lesbian friend who uses that expression all the time. It's strange because all of the rest of our group (who are straight) find it somewhat offensive and we get really uncomfortable when she uses it. And we're ACTORS! (for those who don't know, a group of actors could outswear a group of sailors and truckdrivers anytime)

Now I'm only 21. 21 going on sixty. I'm the father figure of our group and I'm one of the youngest. I have been described as both "old" and a "curmodgeon".

Teen-agers should be put in a burlap sack and locked in a closet until they are 18.

It's one of lifes punishments for being a teenager yourself.

Of course when they have their own teenage kids you begin to understand that there is justice and having grandchildren is also a form of revenge.

I agree with bigdog on this one. I have two teenaged step daughters and I turn everything around with them also. The reference to "parent sex" drives them insane with comments like "That's gross" or "Ewwwwwwww"

It works. I am 47 and don't feel old either
