to be a tad miffed that the whole world knows my sexual business?

[KaylaFromAustrayla]

It is my mother's fault.

Anyhoo, after passing some important exams this year I finally tied the knot and feel the logical next step is to start a family, I am after all 29 now and my clock is ticking.

My mother however likes to know all the details and I have to tell her every day whether I am ovulating and if Bart is standing up to the job. We have a close relationship but I have discovered she has told everyone in their christmas cards all my business.

She only sends cards to close friends and relatives so it doesn't really matter and it's not like the whole world knows my business and when I am having a shag but that's what it feels like.

AIBU or is it normal to share this amount of information with friends in cards?

Crikey have some balls & tell her its basically fuck all to do with her. Your mum has no business in your sexlife.

The baby should be called Kart or Bayla. Just saying.

Ha HAAAAAAA

My mum and I live for the round robins she gets every year. The absolute bonkers over-sharing is a highlight of Xmas.

Last year she got two pages on an old university friend's distended bowel. Blow-by-blow of someone's daughter TTC would be the best yet though.

What "exactly" did she say op?

woah.

Perhaps you could invite her over when you guys are at it so she can sit at the end of the bed and see for herself?

Lol @ some of the posters here!

is this a joke ? you tel your mother when your ovulating , seriously jeez

At least it's only close friends and family though eh, so it's not as if she's actually telling people who have no idea who you are so that they can post it all over the internet, is it?

I'd love to get that round robin! How could she possibly have phrased it?

'Dear All,

Well its been another lovely year in the ^MumtoKayla' house, but please keep your fingers crossed on Tuesday because Kayla will be ovulating and, whilst its only the 5th cycle they've been ttc, Bart's had a few issues 'standing to attention' so they need all the help and good wishes they can get!

Happy 2012!
love MumtoKayla

ps DadtoKayla and I never had any problems in the 'standing to attention' department... maybe I should get DadtoKayla to have a chat with Bart?

pps thanks AuntytoKayla for the advice re orgasm and keeping her legs in the air when Bart has finally managed to do the deed - I've let Kayla know!

Erm Mrs... OP is called KaylaFromAustrayla. Maybe the clue is in the name...

you obviously dont mind the whole world knowing, because you have plastered it on the World Wide Web (clue in the title)

so no one else read the thread this morning about getting this in a card sent to previous homeowners???

Suppose its too late to do anything thus year but maybe point out to her how insensitive her telling everyone is to you. What if conceiving is slow and you are still trying next Xmas? Will she give people an update after you have had to endure a year worth of polite enquiries from friends and family?

I would be livid and really disappointed with her!!

Oh v good. I give you 7/10.

This will go up to 8, pos 9 depending on the quality of the round robin when you post it.

What thread this morning, link?

OH Barty! You spoiled it! It was fun watching people being all supportive!

Dammit, Bart, you gave the game away.

And just when I was about to tell Sweary that of course Kayla doesn't need to stand on her head after shagging, because she is in Australya and so is upside down anyway. Duh.

I laughed OP. Mind you I laughed a lot at the original too.

My mother however likes to know all the details and I have to tell her every day whether I am ovulating and if Bart is standing up to the job.

You and your mother need to see psychiatrists.

^ Her for asking and you for actually telling her.

You need professional help.

this sexual business of yours... has the economic downturn affected turnover?
