Q: Ohhhhhhkay. So my boyfriend and I have been together for awhile - I'm 18/f, by the way - and in the beginning of our relationship, I thought his mom liked me.
I even heard her say she did once. But as we've been together longer, I've gotten to know her better and I don't really like her...I mean I do, but there are things she does and says that I really, really don't like. I think she's picked up on that, and she doesn't like me.
I don't know if that's WHY she doesn't like me, or if she's one of those "no one's good enough for my baby!" types of moms, but whatever the reason, I think she dislikes me. I've also been told she doesn't like any of his girlfriends.
His dad seemed to like me too, but I'm not sure about that, either, now.
I...guess I want to win them over, but I'm not sure how. I've never had the issue where a boyfriend's parents didn't like me. It's usually my parents that don't like my boyfriends, but they like him this time. Odd.
At first it didn't matter to me at all, because I wasn't really in this for something serious, but it kinda got serious, and now I care...which is kinda bad...help?
Good spelling and grammar please...!

I'm not sure why his parents would dislike you since theres nothing you've mentioned that could lead them to feel that way about you.

But, maybe you should ask your boyfriend if his parents always seem a little distant toward his girlfriends and if he says that they are distant, then my guess would be that they don't dislike you. Maybe his parents never really admired his girlfriends and you should try getting that information from him.

I think it is really important for you to look into this and care about what his family thinks of you because family brings everyone together and when there's tension, it can take everything apart.

What you really have to do is let your boyfriend know your concerns and that you strongly care about him and his family and hopefully he will be able to help you with it. I believe that it's a good thing to try reaching out to his parents and really showing them that you want a future with their son.

Thanks. Yeah, I've never done anything to make them dislike me except stay over at their house once without asking because it was 4am and he was too tired to drive me home, lol. Even their cats like me. Maybe I should talk to him about this. Thanks! =)

bio

My name is Erin and I am now 18 years old. You may realize through out looking at my column, some of you love me and some of you flat out hate me. There's really no gray area with me I guess you can say.

I haven't given advice here in so long and it's only because I got caught up in life. But I'm more mature than I ever thought I could be.
So anyway I'm here again. It's been a long time, but I still love giving advice and still plan on it in the future.

Everyone should feel free to Private Message me for advice, I can be harsh, but I'm always trying to help someone by giving them the truth they need.
