TIFU by not unpacking sooner

Submitted by Country_Fried_Mess t3_z441lp in tifu

Throwaway because I’m so mortified.

Obligatory this happened a few days ago, buts it’s effects are still bleeding through until today.

I’ve been struggling a lot this year with my mental health. Strained family relationships, moving this summer, staying sane with a preschooler, etc. Even though it’s Thanksgiving, I still have boxes and bags I’ve not sorted through to unpack yet because of my lack of will to do most anything. That includes cleaning the house, hence the impending FU.

My mother came over (unannounced, one of the strained relationships lol). She was offering to help me clean. I’m irritated she’s there without calling, but I said she could help with laundry. She helped, I said thanks, she went home.

I went into the laundry room later that evening and saw that a duffel bag I had sitting by the dryer was no longer sitting where I left it. It was now put up in a cabinet over the washer. My heart sank to the pit of my stomach as I realized there’s NO way she didn’t see my vibrator and dildo rolling around in there as I had left the bag unzipped. I was really embarrassed, but eventually got over it.

It wasn’t until today that I pulled the bag down just to look in and see that she had WRAPPED THE ITEMS TOGETHER with the vibrator charging cord. Y’all. My mother had her hands on my 9” rubber dildo and huge pink vibrator. Seriously, is this normal?

TL;DR: left my sex toys out and my mother saw them, but then she pulled this power move by wrapping them up together in the charging cord like, “Now you know I know.”

At least she didn't set them out or say anything, that'd be a lot worse.

This may not make it any better, but I'm pretty sure mama understands people have needs.

She is probably mortified as well but she handled that gracefully, you don't need to wonder if she did see it or not and she was protecting your privacy by making sure they weren't out for anyone to see should there be opportunity too.

Forget about this or thank her lol either way you will remember this kindness and her likely MY CRIKEY moment herself.

Massivehugs feel better friend and you have the goods to help you should you need!

And so... Life goes on.

She doesn't want to talk about it any more than you do. She probably has her own in the back of the drawer of her dresser under her PJs.

Mama probably got her own toys to worry about.

Move on.

Mama probably thought well done, my girl. Wall powered, not battery operated. Taught her well. As my grandmother taught me!

Wrapping them up was probably force of habit. It's how she stores hers.

She probably couldn't wait to leave.

Right, because she had to. Then she choose to touch the sex toys. Idk why you’re working so hard to make this look normal it’s weird as fuck. * so y’all really think it’s normal for parents to handle their kids sex toys? Weird motherfuckers

Who cares?

You're an adult.

She's an adult.

If it really bothers you, pull her aside, thank her for helping with the laundry, tidying the laundry area, and securing the cord with the device. Ask her if she wants to talk about it, she likely won't, then give her a hug and thank her for being awesome.

Don't make this a big deal. You are a human. You have needs. And you know how to take care of your needs - that's a good thing.

Remember, you literally came out of your mothers vagina.

She intruded, and experienced the consequences. If she asks, just own it. I guarantee she will be more embarrassed than you.

This reminds me of them time my FIL went into my and my husband's bedroom with no reason and no permission. He comes out and says, "Hey, you guys have straps on your bed. Why do you have straps on your bed?" I look him straight in the eyes, and completely calmly say, "Well, when two people love each other very much..." He put his hands over his ears and shouted, "LA LA LA LA I DON'T NEED TO HEAR THIS."
