my boyfriend and i have been goin out for over 6 months and he says that his mom really likes me and im like the daughter she never had.. but to me it doesnt seem like it. she's kinda rude in my presence [[i guess shes like that all the time]] and shes very boisterous and has an attitude and honestly im intimidated by her. ha. also we live bout 15 minutes from each other and i always go to his house [my mom is usually out around town or whatever so no one can come over here] and my mom ALWAYS has to drive me over there and pick me up and in all the time weve been goin out his moms done it maybe 5 times. and she gets mad about it everytime. i feel so bad but my mom doesnt like usin that much gas either [[she wont let me drive so yeah i cant do it]] and he tries tellin him mom that but she still whines i guess. ha, how to deal?

I think that what you should do is, even though she intimidates you, to sit down with her, without your boyfriend, and talk. Keep in mind that if she's rude or anything, she's just being a grump and that she really does like you and is probably a nice person under all that nasty exterior. Tell her about the gas problem and how your mom feels a little overwhelmed about driving and paying for gas all the time. Tell her how much you like her son and how this is putting some stress on your relationship because you don't want to have to spend less time with him. Don't offer a solution. Let her do that on her own. Just let out all your problems. After a woman to woman talk she might start being a little more cheerful around you. My guess is that she will probably be a bit more helpful with your transport too. Good luck! :) [ sizzlinmandolin's advice column | Ask sizzlinmandolin A Question ]

And yes gas is expensive too, so I would say that your bf's mom and your mom should be taking turns every now and then. By the way, how old are you? Do you have a license yet? If your 16 or less, I could see why she wouldn't let you drive. [ Adviceguy158's advice column | Ask Adviceguy158 A Question ]
