mary: parents!@#$ %^&!@#$ %^&?
my boyfriend and i have been dating for awhile and my parents know him really well. the only problem is they still feel reluctant in letting me go to his house. he wants me to go there tomorrow but only for a couple of hours. how can i convince them to let me go over there?
ill be 15 in two months, and all of my other friends i know are allowed over their boyfriends house. plus, his mom even told my parents awhile back that she won’t let us do anything stupid…

As hard as it might seem to you, your parents are looking out for your safety and well being. I am a mother of two teens, one 15, and the other 14. That goes for any place my kids want to go (whether it is a couple of hours, or a sleepover), I must know enough about the adults in the house, and trust them to be on the same page as myself before I let my kids go there. Therefore, my advice to you is to have your mom talk to his mom, and if you say his mom already said she wouldn’t let you two do anything stupid, she can smooth it out with your mom, and maybe that’ll change her mind. Your mother can discuss it with his mother, and make sure they are understanding each other’s concerns.
Its hard for parents to let go and allow their teens to control their own lives. The only thing you can really do is have his parents let her know that they’ll be home and supervising the two of you at all times.
The only way your parents will let up in the protectiveness is when they start trusting your decision making, so try to make good ones 🙂
