Getting caught by Mom

[KrissyTN]

I had two close calls when I was younger. My dressing progressed to almost daily when I was in middle school because my older brother was in high school and had after school activities and my younger siblings were still in grade school. My Mom worked most days. On this particular day, I got home and pulled out a pretty yellow one piece bathing suit of my Mom's. I loved it because it had built in cups .... it had a small blue stripe on it and I found a pair of blue pantyhose in her drawer that matched. To top it off, I found a pair of sexy yellow high heels in her closet...and at that time we were the same shoe size. I gathered it all together and went into the bathroom to change. I was fully dressed when I heard the kitchen door open and in came Mom and one of my sisters! I hurried to get all the items off and hid them them best I could in the bathroom closet. Mom went downstairs to put a load of laundry in and my sister went up to her room which allowed me enough time to put the shoes back in Mom's closet and hide the other items in my room until I could put them back the next day. Close call!

The other close call I had was when I was about 15 or so and my parents were away for a trip. My sisters were staying with my Aunt and my brother stayed with my Grandparents. I had a lot of fun on Saturday night dressing up in all sorts of different outfits. I slept in a nightgown and panties for the first time. The next day, I put on some pantyhose under the nightie and added a wonderful feeling satin robe. I decided it was time for breakfast and as I thought about it, something was telling me to put my drab clothes back on....which I did. I proceeded to make some breakfast and as I was eating my brother walked in! If he showed up 20 minutes earlier he would have caught me! Another close call!

I was always as careful as I could be to make sure any clothes I borrowed were put back properly, but I think my Mom had a pretty good idea of the fact that some of her clothes were being borrowed. Nothing was ever said to me about it, thankfully!!

I just looked at it as my secret adventure. Memorizing exactly how bras were folded, it was truly basic training for situational awareness and critical thinking skills.

I created a map of the pantry drawer each time I dipped into Mom's panty drawer. After playing dress-up, I tore up the map and flushed it down the toilet.

I think for a mom to accuse her son of borrowing her clothes, the evidence has to be more than a sneaky suspicion, it needs to be beyond reasonable doubt.

I wonder if our moms ever had conversations with other moms on the topic, "I think that my son is crossdressing. What should I do."

These days, maybe Steffi....given it's more mainstream. Back in the 70's - it was more likely thought of as "a phase that will pass" - for me, it never did!

My mom and sister were a bit messy. Nothing extreme, but if I wanted to wear something I could often just grab it off the bedroom floor. Getting it back there was as simple as tossing it back on the floor. Occasionally, I would dig through the clothes hamper. I never took clothing from their drawers.

I was never caught wearing any of my mother?s clothes. I suspected that she knew something. One year she suggested that I dress up as a girl, I said maybe next year. And I found on my bed when I came home from school a note. It said this year is good. Laid out on my bed were girls clothes, a bra, pantyhose, a purse, and a pair of heels. So naturally I dressed for Halloween.

Tell us more, tell us more.

That's really way cool. What a cool mom.

Were the clothes bought specifically for you, or were they repurposed from her wardrobe or your sisters?

Mom never caught me wearing her clothes. I believe that if she had, she would have rightly scolded me for not asking permission. Otherwise, she seemed open-minded about cross-dressing in general. If I had confided to her my interest in female attire, she probably would have arranged for me to have some items of my own. Wish I had done that, but I was confused and ashamed at that age. Plus my little bro would have found out and would have teased me mercilessly!

I was caught by my mom when I was around 8 or 9. I was in the bathroom dancing around in my sister's panties, white with yellow duck, all she said was stop that and don't wear your sister's stuff. I am 99.9% sure mom knew. She had made a few comments as I got older. I wish she was still around (for many reasons) . I know she would have been accepting and there are some many questions.

My mum found my stash of tights/ pantyhose in a drawer in my bedroom aged 17. They were still in their packaging from when I purchased them. When challenged I told her that they were for a fancy dress party. She confiscated them . When my father found a stash of nylons , a wig dress and high heels in my 20s . Both parents thought it was a phase I would grow out of . Interestingly my mother told my father that the items belonged to her. Even though it was obvious the size 9 heels would not fit her. I came out to her when I was in my 50s after my father passed away and my wife found my stash. I used to dress at her home for the next 10 years until she passed away.

I was found out by my mom. I would wear her panties and jeans I started around 10 doing it. On day she got home early I was in the kitchen and busted. She noticed I was wearing her jeans she asked why? the next question was do you have my panties on. I was red with guilt. We talked about it and she asked if I wanted my own clothing to wear. I replied yes. Later that week she asked if I wanted to go shopping with her I went and to my surprise she took me into the misses department and got me some jeans and t shirts to wear my first pair of panties. She told me it?s ok to be who you are. When we got home I was so happy to be in feminine clothing. She was very supportive of me.

Some interesting memories here.
I am looking at this from the other side.
I am a mum who caught her son,
As a child I caught him wearing knickers a couple of times.
I have recently found some clothes and underwear hidden in his room but he doesn't know yet, I'm trying to work out the best way forward.

Some real life stories here.

After my wife and I got engaged, my father told my bride (51 years and counting) that my mom and him were glad we were getting married because "We were worried about him".

That's funny because my mom told my wife that she was just "happy that I turned out normal"

I never had any indication that I was caught, but one day my dad's porn rags were just gone and never returned. That could have been for any reason though. I'm sure my mom knew. My parents were hoping for a girl, just not one who lives in a closet.
