My son who is 21 recently bought me some lingerie for my birthday. I was shocked and obviously confused by this gesture. How do I talk to him about this.

Aye, right.

Are you Liz Hurley?? Her son is very close to her 😂😂😂

SapphiraWise · 08/07/2026 07:57

Son, think you meant these for your girlfriend. You know I only like the open gusset.

sophia341 · 08/07/2026 07:57

My husband asked his mum what she wanted for Christmas one year. She requested silk underwear. I said I absolutely was not getting involved in that, so he bought some cheap monstrosities from Amazon.

And it’s never been mentioned again.

GasperyJacquesRoberts · 08/07/2026 09:02

In the entire history of things that never happened, this never happened the most.

I wish I could have used the laughter reaction they used to have.

But he does have a girlfriend...mummy...

If this is true I feel really really sorry for any future partner he might get. Unlikely he will but....

ilbehonest · 08/07/2026 10:55

Laugh really loud as it must be a joke. Then ask for your actual gift.
