You could have cut the tension with a knife last night on The Hills when Heidi's mom made a surprise appearance for her daughter's birthday. Apparently she was unaware that Spencer had moved back in and was disappointed, to say the least, to have been kept in the dark. Although Heidi's mom's distress was mostly due to her daughter's dysfunctional relationship, I know not all parents are accepting of their kids cohabitating with their significant others before marriage. So if you're parents fall into that category, tell me, have you ever lied to them about your living situation in order to share an address with your significant other?

i have - when i was in college, my boyfriend at the time moved in with me and he was 100% living with me, but i didn't tell my mom about that since i know that she would have flipped out about it. i think that hindsight - it probably wouldn't have been such a big deal to tell her but i guess when you're young, you worry about making your parents upset about things like this. now that my fiance lives with me, even before we were engaged, we've lived together and i never had a problem talkign to my mom about it.
