I wasn't exactly sure what category to put this under.
Well my mom has these strict rules about guys. If I have just a friend over thats a guy or my boyfriend, its always been the same. We can't lay on the couch to watch a movie. The couch.. in the living room. No guys allowed in my room even if the lights are on and the door is open. Not even if my little sister is there. We don't do anything like sexual. Oh big deal kissing and cuddling. What's wrong with that? She seems to be totally overreacting with her rules. They make no sense and she never ever gives me a good reason. Any advice about how to convince her to get rid of these rules? Or even advice why she says these stupid rules. We arent even allowed to sit in my lil brothers room. He's 16. My lil sister is 12. Its not like it will harm anything or anyone so whats the big deal? (link)

Your mom just thinks these rules are for your protection and your own good. Now I do think she is being a little to strict and you need to sit down with her like a calm and rational adult and tell her how you feel. Dont throw a hissy fit or start saying thats unfair, just tell her that the two of you are not doing anything sexual and that you just like hanging out together make it a point to let her know that you rather hang out at the house then somewhere more private if you get my drift. Make her see that you do respect her and her rules but you need a little more freedom.
Hope it all works out
Amanda
