Parenting Advice

“My 19-year-old son has a fascination with women's underwear- panties mainly. This has been going on for about 4 years, as far as I know. I accidentally found a stash of said underwear in his room. Some of them are mine! I think he wears them, sometimes, perhaps under his own underwear, judging from the colors that have worn off onto the inside of his jockey briefs (ahem).

I am concerned about this. It seems to go one step beyond "normal," especially the wearing part. I have not talked to him about it, as it would be so embarrassing for him, and I don't think it would serve any purpose. I would like to find out more about this behavior. Is this common? I am not at all comfortable with it, as I think it is something that will interfere with his ability to interact in an intimate relationship. In other words, I think most women prefer to be the one who wears the panties.

Any ideas about this, or where I can go to get help?”

“That’s terrible he shouldn’t be stealing and wearing your underwear. At the age of 19 he should be buying his own woman’s underwear.”

“He's 19, ain't he outa the house soon??? Look, it's his 'gig', if I were you I might look into it, but..... actually discuss it with him??? I dunno bout that. How do you know it's a 4 year deal? Should'a been something looked into a helluva lot earlier methinks.

If he's soon outa the nest to fly on his own, let'em fly with his stash of panties I'd guess. Dayum woman, summa them are yours?? Shew.”

“if his girlfriend is wearing his briefs then it is no big deal, like the old saying goes "share and share alike"”

“"in an intimate relationship. In other words, I think most women prefer to be the one who wears the panties"

During intimacy in a normal relationship, neither are wearing panties.

(troll alert shreiking)”

“Dear Worried Mom,

You probably should have taught him not to troll on backpacking boards. The self-emasculation has him wishing he didn't have his male parts, thus the panty-wearing. I suggest you start saving for the sex-change operation now.”

“Are they crusty?”

“LOL! Take him bra shopping!”

“Yeah Limpy I had that curiosity too, were those Mom's panties taken from her drawer, or from the laundry room/hamper??”

“and at its worst (or best) an insane asylum...not some freakin dear abbey advice column...we don't give a rats arse about your son's fetish...if thats the worst he does, your lucky...when I was a kid, I used to listen to BlackSabbath...my mother would cringe when I cranked it out...and then I'd go get a chicken and rip its head off and spew blood all over the place...it was fun!, and now Ozzy is a spokesperson for Pepsi and has his own top rated TV show...something is wrong with the universe, and its all Crayola Crayons fault...when they changed the original colors of the 64 box, the world became askew. Nothing has been right, since that day.

And your worried about your kid wearing women's underthingys...get with the program!!!! its not about womens underware...its about Crayola Crayons!!!”

“Please note this troll is purportedly from West Virginia.”

“Let's see, who could this troll be...

Buddha Bear? Or perhaps, is it... Buddha Bear?”

“When he starts stealing your Kotex, it's really time to worry.”

“Nothing wrong with any of this. Just give him a nice purse that matches his shoes and send him on his way. I really don't see the problem.”

“Is this your son?

”

“the real concern is that he can FIT into you underwear!”

“Another phamily photo:

”

“Too big

”

“LOL....I have the feeling that worried mom is a troll.


if not. your son is weird. WEIRD I TELL YOU!!”

“LOL....I have the feeling that worried mom is a troll.


if not. your son is weird. WEIRD I TELL YOU!!”

“But if I where you I would adress the problem by doing the following:

A)Get him some porno to keep him busy
B)Kick him out of the house, 19, he sould not be home....try college
C)Take a #&%!$ in his underware and see how he feels.
D) Kill him
E) Kill the fag
F) KIll the fag
G) get him a box of tampons and say "this goes with the panties"”

“This has troll all over it.

8|”

“Ya gotta love the imagination of the trolls around here.
Too Funny!!!!!”

“You should buy him a few pairs for his birthday and give them to him in front of his friends...the problem will then take care of itself...if not, his friends will give him hell for it.”

“mmmmm
West Virginia
i shoulda known......”

“Where is Dr. Laura?”

“here's some parenting advice: GO WASH YOUR MOUTH OUT WITH SOAP, ICE TEA! i know you're a freakin' republican, but dang.”

“Tell 'em, lyra!”

“:-) HEY, and this reminds me...today's Wednesday, a new Savage Love article!”

“Didn't he cover this recently?”

“yeah! it could be the same one.”

“Don't worry lyra, maybe when Tea goes off to college he'll end up with gay roommate; a 300 lb lineman on the football team! That'll learn him!”

“mooooaahaahaahaa!! :-)
the hard way, Aero!

this week's Savage Love ”

“I think we should forward this thread to Dan Savage for some expert advice!”

“lyra-
That's in the City Paper in B'more

too funny!

Maybe Tea will get a wrestler for a room mate.”

“Aero, i think Dan Savage should just become a regular poster here. how cool would THAT be!

it's in the DC City Paper too, Tom...but i hardly ever get that anymore, since it's come to my attention that i have hardly any life. LOL!”

“Christ, Tea, you're pretty damn hostile aren't you.”

“Yeah. Tea's a scary one....”

“Listen, the Tree household has a cross-gender problem too. You see, my wife (Mapleleaf) has this compulsion to dress up, I mean, sign on in my name. If you haven't noticed this, ask Stove Stomper. Should I seek professional help?”

“Yeah, Rosey, scary in a "shot from the top of the book repository" way.”

“LOL. I Still listen to Black Sabbath music. HELP! I'm stuck in the seventies.”

“LOL treebeard”

“There was a FRIENDS episode 2 nights ago that 2 of the guys were wearing panties on. They said something about helping their masculinity. I thought it was weird.

but, yeah this is a backpacking board.”

“D) Kill him
E) Kill the fag
F) KIll the fag

I'm pretty sure most gay men could take you out, pipsqueak.”

“lol @ phaedrus”

“I've often cut you some slack because you're young Tea, but damn, you're not a little kid anymore.

You took a lot of flack a couple of years ago over your 'can' joke and apologized, saying you didn't realize it was racist. Surely you know that what you posted above is hateful and #&%!$ed up. Are you enough of a man to apologize? If you talk like this in real life, someone is liable to do you harm.”

“I'm sure he gets harmed on a regular basis Violin. He just doesn't share that facet of his life w/ us.”

“Somebody wake up Dr Laura”

“I smell Columbine...”
