Question Posted Thursday December 23 2004, 1:09 pm
Ok, here's what's going on... My boyfriend, we'll call him bob, has been living with me secretly for about 2 weeks now. My dad, just found out that he was here yesterday morning, and my dad was very mad. Then last night, my dad found out about it and made him leave, bob left and came back, and now my stepmom just saw him leave. So I'm really really really grounded right now. I don't know what to do or tell my parents, I can't kick Bob out because he has nowhere to go, literally. He has a pretty bad story though. Should I tell my parents his story and risk being able to be with him? Or should I lie to my parents more?

If I were you I would tell your parents his story (whatever that might be) and ask your parents to give Bob a chance to earn their respect and trust. Once you and your parents are kewl, I would go with your gut feelings from there. Hope it helps! [ christina_ashley's advice column | Ask christina_ashley A Question ]

Its worth the risk because even if they dont care..you can still get around them. Tell them everything and explain you dont want to lie anymore..they should reespect you for that and do something to help

Happy Holidays!
Hope I helped!

Just grab both your parents, sit them down and tell them that you need to have a talk about something serious. I really hope everything works out for you. Good luck!

But, you lost some trust points from starting off by lying, so be sure to sincerely appologize for that. Hope it goes well. [ ICE11BLUE's advice column | Ask ICE11BLUE A Question ]

trlblzr4u answered Thursday December 23 2004, 1:18 pm: I really don't think lies would help your cause here. You are already on shaky ground with your parents as it is. I would suggest to just come clean with the story, I mean that's better than letting them just come up with their own reasons as to why he's there. Who knows, maybe they'll see it differently after they know the whole story. [ trlblzr4u's advice column | Ask trlblzr4u A Question ]
