    A while back I was sitting down with my family for dinner, all good. My sister, 19 at the time, had a new bf of about 2 months and my mam was asking about him. Another older sister said something about her bf having a nice body to which sister 1 says he has a lovely six pack. And my mam says in a shocked voice "How do you know if he has a nice body?"

    No one said anything, but it was a pretty awakward dinner after that...

    So AHers, any awkward/embarrassing moments with your parents??

    That story didn't sound so disappointing in my head :o

    In the sitting room happy as Larry watching a film, just the three of us.

    Until a raunchy sex scene comes on slap bang in the middle of it, a truly awkward moment every time.

    Brother: Bla bla bla then we slagged him calling him o'boner
    Me: Why?
    Brother: Appearantly he had a boner when bla bla bla
    Mother (creepily standing in doorway): WHATS A BONER?

    Old people :rolleyes:

    Going to get your first bra with your mam was pretty embarrassing. It was a horrible beige one to.

    Watching some random film, Gabriel Byrne was a solider in France as I remember
    Cool, I'll watch this with the parents, I like a good war film :)

    Except he shacked up with some local girl and the two of them stripped off and headed to the bedroom
    Awkward and not the sort of film I was expecting

    My friend calls this the Bambi effect, just because she is sure that if she were to sit watching Bambi with her parents, in the middle of it all the animals would start having it off.

    The effect is worsened when you're sitting on your own watching it, and the sex scene that came out of nowhere / random person walking around naked triggers the entry of a parent. Or maybe it's vice versa.

    Christmas dinner, all family sitting round the table. My older sister was spoon feeding her little kid (about 1 year old) she noticed he wasn't having any of it. My ma then spouts out "its probably just too hot, give it a little blow job there and he'll be grand" Needless to say an eery silence followed and not one of us made eye contact!

    Oooh, I feel your pain. The sex in that movie is reàlly graphic and goes on for ages! I haven't felt awkward watching a sex scene with my parents in the room for a few years, but recently I was watching the Sex Ed Show and my dad decided to watch a bit of it. Cue a line of flaccid penises on screen and some kid asking why the black guy didn't have the biggest one.

    I felt very embarrassed especially since my dad already despises Channel Four programming, and this just compounded that I think.

    I was on holidays on my own a few years ago (long story, spur of the moment thing). Anyway, a few days into my holiday my folks arrive on the island and they're staying in another resort, so I go along to say hi. I met them on the beach.

    I should advise my parents at the time were in their mid/late 60's.

    Anyhoo, we're sitting on our sunbeds having a chat when my mother has a bit of a stretch and a "wardrobe malfunction". Of course she doesn't realise her boob is hanging out while the conversation continues and because she's sitting directly opposite me, I'm getting a full view. I tried getting my dad's attention so he can tell her or fix it himself but of course he's not getting the hint, so I had to tell her myself.

    Half an hour of awkward silence later, I headed back to my apartment in the hopes that the equipment in Total Recall is real.

    When I was a young child say about three, just after dancing to the tune 'like a virgin by madonna' I run up to my mam and ask her what is a virgin? She says its the Holy Mary!? As if I believed her! A bit embarrassing a few years later on when I found out what a virgin was and to think I ever asked her such a question! How innocent, curious and inquisitive I was!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,324 ✭✭✭Alter-Ego


    When I was really young I used to always ask my Da what was in those vending machines in mens toilets. "Bars of soap" apparently...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,104 ✭✭✭easyeason3


    Seeing my parents shift each other on New Years Eve a good many years ago. Tongues flying, the whole fcuking lot.

    I just sicked up in my mouth a bit.

    my mams very fond of her cat, loves them she does. Sadly, and more sadly at family get togethers involving brothers in law and suchlike, she insists, and is oblivious to the stifled hilarity, on calling the mangy ginger wheezebox "my pussy". The amount of willpower, not to mention the sheer danger, involved in stifling a laugh when she walks into the room carrying a saucer of milk and loudly asks whether "anybody has seen my pussy??". Grown men have been known to choke on their brack at our family get togethers. And even more sadly, this is all true.:(:D:(:o we were all just waiting for someone to have the guts to say-"well, that'll be you so Da." But nobody ever did.

    For some stupid reason, a long time ago, my Dad who was a big fan of the carry on VIDEOS hired out CONFESSIONS OF A WINDOW CLEANER and put it on St Stephen's Day when all the extended family were in................................hilarious thinking back on it, but at 11/12 years of age I had no idea what to do, neither did he, he didn't know whether to turn it off, or let it on and pretend he didn't notice!!

    well I told you to go with your own ma, but you said mine was nicer and you wanted to see what a lad in a bra would look like. I told you before you went that she was feeling a bit off, what with me wanting a bra and all. Usually she's a nice tanned colour.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,331 ✭✭✭✭bronte


    Oh I have another one...
    Was at home last Christmas...watching TV in the living room with my brother.
    Mum is on the phone to her friend who's house she is heading over to for a get together later. My mum is in her 60's. As she's ending the call to her friend she laughs and says "It'll be like a swingers party"
    Brother shoots me a horrified look.
    "Mum....do you know what a swingers party is?" says I
    "No" says she
    I explain what it is.
    "Oh God save us" she says...don't think her friend knew either.
    At least I fcuking hope not.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,954 ✭✭✭✭Larianne

    The phone rang in the middle of it and jeez, did I run for that phone!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,592 ✭✭✭Dante


    When me, my mom and my dad went on my laptop to look at the price of flights to London. I accidentally pressed the letter y in the address bar and about 10 youjizz videos came up. Now that was a truly awkward moment.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,998 ✭✭✭grohlisagod


    Watching The Inbetweeners and one of my parents walks in. Need I say more.
    Also, if I'm watching a music video which turns out to be quite raunchy and they walk in. Channel is changed ASAP!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 874 ✭✭✭cesc77


    Was doing some work in my grannies house over the last sweaty spell.

    Why do old people still say pussy?:(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,087 ✭✭✭paddydriver


    When Ireland drew 1-1 with NI in Windsor Park to qualify for USA 94 (Who remembers Alan McLoughlin's screamer:D) I came home so p*ssed that I got up in middle of night and did a p*ss at the end of their bed! Don't ask how... drink does weird things!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 451 ✭✭Rocket19


    One night, my parents were in the tv room watching some Die Hard film (which my younger sister had advised them to watch). Right before the DVD, my Dad had been watching Top Gear or something on one of those 'mens' channels'.

    Anyway, in our house there's sort of like glass doors between the tv room and a sort of lounge next to it. My sister and I were sitting in this room beside them, so when we noticed the credits come up on the film, my sister popped in to see if they had liked it.
    The second she entered the room however, my Dad hit the standby button on the DVD player, which switched it off and straight back onto the 'men's channel'. Unfortunately, at this exact moment, on the television was some extremely hardcore looking porn which was VERY loud.

    Cue my Mum going "TURN IT OFF, TURN IT OFF, TURN IT OFF" (she obviously thought this was a highly traumatic experience for a 14 year old girl), my sister standing in the middle of the room frozen in shock and my Dad breaking his sh*t laughing while he tried miserably to find the sky remote.

    I was watching that episode on channel 4 catchup on my laptop in my room a week ago when the scene where jay is fapping in his room and his arm goes dead comes on, I reckon my brother thought I was watching porn as he was in the other room beside me. On a funnier note I have watched the inbetweeners with my dad before and he couldn't stop laughing for the whole thing :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,646 ✭✭✭✭Sauve


    Last night I gave my brother my phone cos he wanted to look through some photos I took over the weekend when we were all away.
    Phone bings, he looks up with a grin on his face, and (with my ma sitting right next to me) says : "you got a reminder. take your pill".
    Morto.

    it was my mother that told me about the inbetweeners - we've watched it together, but then again, I got a hold of the Paris Hilton DVD years ago and showed her the first few minutes. my poor mammy!!!:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,811 ✭✭✭xoxyx


    My mum lost her engagement ring when I was about twelve and an all out search ensued, including checking the rubbish bins.

    Well, didn't she find a used pregnancy kit. It was only me, my mum and my dad in the household, so of course it was mine!

    I wouldn't mind so much, except I hadn't gone near sex at that age, but me and a mate had nicked it from her parents bathroom just to give it a go. Try and explain that to your mum and not sound like you're lying!!

    I wasn't pregnant, but I was grounded for a week and watched closely from there on in.

    If this doesn't win I'll be impressed......

    In the house with my gf one night and my Mam came home from a night out with my Dad absolutely hammered drunk. (she doesn't drink that often and can't hold her piss)

    She proceeded to get sick all over herself and then... (wait for it.. s.h.ite herself also) My Dad forced me to help carry her to the bathroom and get into the showwer. I had to help him undress her and saw my 55 year old mother naked, drunk, and covered in s.hit and vomit. I'm 28 by the way and this happened last year.

    No-one has ever spoken or mentioned that night ever. Well, until now duh!

    Parents come to visit, bring them to my house. Walk in with the parents and say hi to my housemate who's sitting with his back to us. He doesn't turn around, just goes "Hey there STONER". Later on that same visit, go with my dad to the offlicence to get some wine for dinner, man in the off licene starts chatting to me and it's clear I'm in there enough for us to be on first name terms.

    My sister as a teenager drunkenly got off with someone in the back of my mam's car, thought she'd got away with it til my mam asked why there were dirty foot prints on the car ceiling.

    I know I have more..

    One that will always stick in my mind is my mother and father getting absolutely hammered one Saturday night, I pick them up around 3am on my way home from work.

    Dad goes to bed, Mam insists on staying up to have a drink with me. She's quiet for ages and im hoping shes fallen asleep when suddenly she blurts out:

    "Did ya ever lose a condom up inside yourself? I did once and your father had to get a torch and all to go look for it....."

    Cue Dad arriving down for a glass of water. AWKWARD!!!

    Btw, my parents never ever talk about sex to us so it came totally out of the blue!

    That brings back memories alright, my dad(RIP) used to get really flustered when a love scene came on the screen. Even animals mating on screen embarrassed him.
