Oh Baby!
When I was 17, I met a guy online who seemed really cute. We met a couple times and went to the park and stuff, and he was very polite and sweet. He invited me to come to his parents house for dinner about a week later. I was sort of nervous but decided to give it a shot. That day I dressed conservatively and prepared myself to meet his folks. He came and picked me up and we drove out to his parents house together. When we arrived at his house, I was a little shocked as it was more of a rundown shack than a house. We got out of the car and went inside to greet everyone. His parents were there and so were his two sisters, both of which had a few young children in tow. His father then looked me up and down in a really sleezy manner. His mother asked me about myself and I told her I was in high school and about what my parents did for a living etc. Mid-sentence, she interrupts me to ask if I had any children yet. I told her I did not, and that I came from a very conservative family. She then went on to explain to me that I was really getting “past my prime” and better start “having kids with her son real soon.” I was horrified and completely uncomfortable. I excused myself to talk to their son in private, and insisted he take me home right away. He made up an excuse for his parents and I practically ran out the door. We got in the car and on the way home, I told him that I just couldn’t continue to see him anymore. He seemed surprised, as though his family was completely normal and that sealed the deal for me, I was done.
