Parents treating you differently

[azurzg]

So, my parents figured out I was bi a few months back. We talked about it. They did not make a big deal of it and were very supportive.

For a while now (probably last two years), I have enjoyed a certain level of independence. However, now (last two months), my mum is increasingly taking an interest in my activities and whereabouts. She even asks me how I do at school (something she has not been doing for quite a white). She wants to know whom I am going to the movies with. She checks my uber rides. Etc.

I suspect this has to do with my sexual orientation and I find this concerning. Am I suddenly less trustworthy now (that they found out) that I like boys as well as girls?!?!

Does anyone have a similar experience? Their parents staring to "observe" them more closely once they found out you were gay/be and/or sexually active?

I like my parents. They are nice/cool people. But this is somehow wrong, right?

Thoughts?

Same with me in that I told my parents I was bi a few months ago. But they said they already knew so it didn't change their behavior towards me. Which, after reading your post, I appreciate even more.
But I think your mom is just trying to "get to know you" again. She's not necessarily not trusting you. Maybe she's trying to figure out if you're changing or if you'll be a different person somehow. I think she's just being a worried mom who wants to understand her son and wants to make sure you're ok.

I don't c her acting any different than any
other parent concerned of what u r doing
or up to. Maybe since u told them- u r self
conscious of their motives. Forget it cause
if u get paranoid then they will think u r
doing something wrong.

Thanks guys! Both of you are right. I may be over-analysing this.

I agree with the other guys too. I think she is just interested in your life and is a loving caring mom.

I think I may be gay but haven't said anything to my parents. I'm not sure they suspect anything right now and since most of the kids at school don't really date much I don't think that anyone really knows who they are yet.
