parents vs. boyfriend
So I'm going out with this guy, Bob, and my parents are going psycho about it. I really don't know what they don't like about this... we're saving sex for marriage, we don't do drugs, we're always supervised, he plays sports and has a loving family like mine. They say it's not "right" for a girl to go over to the guys house...I want to meet his dad and my house is getting boring. My mom took me to his house for less than 2 hours the other day just to get me to shut up and my dad got really mad at her for it. I just don't get why it's wrong. His Mom and younger brother were home. any advice?

A big factor would be your age. Are you at least 16? Is he older than you? How long have you been an item? Is there something they know about him that makes them suspicious of him? Since I don't know the answer to these questions, I can't give you all of the advice you seek. The only thing I can tell you is their point of view.
Well, as you are now finding out, parents are very protective over their daughters. No matter how old you are, you will always be their little girl.
He sounds like a good guy, but they might not see that he is a good guy out of the fear of "what if he's not?"
As for them not liking for you to go to his house, they can't keep and eye on you over there. I bet their way of thinking is this- "Yah, so his mother may be home, but will she watch you like a hawk while we aren't able to?"
Though it may seem like it sucks now, which I know it does, it is a good thing to have parents that are protective over you. It comes down to the fact that your mom and dad care enough about what happens to you to do all they know how to protect you from any harm, even if it may not be the right way of going about it. (Not saying their way of going about it is right or wrong.)
The best thing to do is to respect their wishes and give them a chance to see him as the good guy as you see him.
