Immaturity Synonym

edit: Just wanted to clarify.

Do you mean immaturity as in being foolish/stupid, or not having children because one is afraid of the implications? (My impression was that having sexual conversations while driving was considered impetuous and immature.)

That's exactly what I meant (she should've waited). As you said, it was definitely both of those things together; sex *while* driving isn't a normal thing for my mom at all... hence why I assume everyone else would react negatively.

When your mother does things like this the last thing we need to do here is make excuses; she cannot expect you to understand how others are feeling - especially others who have been sexually abused themselves. Have you talked about it with her? Are there any other people in your family whom she has talked about this behavior towards?

I talked to her on Saturday :^) We're still working through all of the emotions. It helped clear everything up, even if our bond doesn't get completely back to its former self immediately after

So thanks for giving us some perspective; sounds like all went well! :) You got support from her in return; so, really, nothing can go wrong with your relationship right now. ;) (Something I learned when I was seven: there is too much pressure put upon young boys to act maturely; they cannot be expected to always avoid sex and remain completely at their mother's beck and call before puberty finishes growing them...)

Oh yes, we had open discussion about all issues prior to making love. She pretty much fully admitted that her frustration comes from her inability to respect mine and my friends' privacy. Not trying to excuse this particular incident in any way, just seeing that people aren't equating maturity with tactfulness so very quickly.

There are certain expectations between adults, regarding their daughters: 1) adult authority is placed on women 2) the primary goal / purpose of wife-ing is fulfilled by a man 3) womanhood becomes a vehicle for maintaining fatherhood with the expressed desire for husband-ship.

> womanhood becomes a vehicle for maintaining fatherhood with the expressed intention of husband-ship. lolwut... that's an incredibly specific place to expect from "womanhood". My experience with men after becoming a girl hasn't been anywhere near that narrow. Oh well. Still needs more reading...
