i'm having trouble getting my parents used to the fact that me and my boyfriend have a 3 years difference in age. he's 16 and i'm 13. my mom likes him but my dad gets a little to protective about it and they won't let me drive around anywhere with him. he's a really sweet guy and i trust him with my life but my parents don't see my side to this. what could i do to get them to trust me and him together in a car and get them used to the age difference?

Parents are naturally overprotective, especially when the three "D" words come into effect: daughter, date, difference. And since this seems to have to do with driving too, the best way to convince your parents is to show them. You & your boyfriend should coordinate a day where you can take your parents to lunch... with him driving. Take them to a restaurant that you know they like. On the way there, they'll be able to see how your boyfriend drives & how sweet he is. Good luck hun! ♥
