Open relationship with my parents?


Question Posted Thursday November 30 2006, 11:14 pm

15/F

Hi, for the last 5 or so years I have been lying to my parents about my entire life. I get straight A's and act like a goody-goody to them but in reality I drink, party, stay out all night and lie constantly. I have never even discussed with my mom or dad if I am allowed to date or anything of that sort.

I would like to be able to talk to them if something is bothering me and to know my limits but where do I start? I do not want my lies to unravel. I am confident that my habits are not something my parents should worry over so I do not want them to know.

I would really like to know what I'm allowed to do or not. Is there any way to find out without telling them my life story and taking the chance of never being trusted again?

Thanks so much! :)

Simply ask your parents if they feel you are old enough to date yet. If you don't have a guy in mind, tell them you don't have a boyfriend yet but you'd like to know how they feel about it. It would be a very mature approach.

With luck this discussion will lead to other topics you are curious about. Curfew and all that good stuff.

I would hope all this will lead to your not having to lie anymore. I also hope you stop staying out all night and drinking. :) Get caught just once and it could be really bad for you. Trust is a really hard thing to earn back.

Good luck. Once you start asking one question, the rest will come easy. :)
