Alright, I have had it. I talked to my mom about letting my boyfriend and I hang out. She won't let us hang out alone (by the way, I'm 15) Which i understand. My boyfriend just called a couple minutes ago and talked to my mom and asked her if I could go with him and another couple to the movies. My mom said no to this because she said she doesn't trust the couple because they have been together for so long and the boy has a bad reputation and I have told my mom this before. I asked my mom if it would be ok to go with some of my friends and she said no because someone might end up being upset because they arent getting enough attention. I told her I give everyone the equal amount of attention. She goes back and says "Well you still are not allowed to date". Is there any way to get her to let me hang out with him and my friends?
Thanks so much!
What can really help a situation like this is to ask your parents if he can come over for dinner a few times or just come over and talk with your family. If your parents start to know your boyfriend better, they'll feel more comfortable with you dating him when you are allowed to, and I'm not saying this will happen, but maybe she might even let you hang out alone with him at times earlier.
I know you are probably frustrated with your mom being paranoid about you and your boyfriend, but when you think about it, you'll be feeling the same way with your kids later on when they want to date. Try being mature about this by respecting your mom's wishes and being patient.
