Question Posted Thursday December 22 2005, 4:08 pm
Here's the story. I'm 15, female, and don't know how to ask my parents if my boyfreind can come up to my grand parents house with me over winter break? My mom, sister, and I are all going up to my grand parents house and I'd relly like if my boy freind could come up with me over winter break in Febuary. I don't know how to ask my mom. It's nit like we'd even have to sleep in the same bed if my parents didn't want us to because my grand parents have a big house with plenty of beds. Only my mom and sister will be coming so it will be a little easier without my dad there. Please help.

But if your dad is one of those over protective type of guys then i`d just ask your mom with him not around.. ♥ Dez [ ThugGirl041790's advice column | Ask ThugGirl041790 A Question ]

- how long have you been dating? This is a big step in your relationship.
- has he met your grandparents before?
- do your parents like him enough so that they could spend a week with him?
- are you mature enough to have the sex talk with your mom and assure her that you're not going to sneak to his room in the night?
If you're satisfied with these answers, go for it! Clearly your parents love this guy and know that it would mean alot for you to have him with you! [ chickadeela's advice column | Ask chickadeela A Question ]
