Question Posted Wednesday October 15 2008, 7:05 pm
My parents wont let me and my boyfriend be home alone together, is there any way I can convince them to? Like by saying things like I have good grades, etc..?
Why? It's one of the many ways they look out for your best interests. Though it seems awful and unfair to you now, you will one day fully understand where they are coming from.
When that day comes, I promise you will feel thankful that your parents love you so much that they do seemingly mean things like not let their teenage daughter stay home alone with her teenage boyfriend.
You will feel thankful that they care about you so much that they are willing to make you mad at them by doing what is best.
I'm not saying you're mad at them, or anything. I'm just saying you will wish they would allow you to do something more than once in your teen years.
turtle479 answered Thursday October 16 2008, 10:19 am: I think the question that your parents are probably asking is "Why do they want to be home alone?" If the answer is what I think it is, then they have a valid point. You don't want you next question to be "How do I know if I'm pregnant?"
If there is a legit reason that you want to stay home alone, then let your parents know. But, be open with them. Example: If you are wanting to stay home alone because your boyfriend wants to help you clean your room (or whatever) be willing to say. "Mom, you can call the house phone or my cell phone anytime you like. I'm not nervous because I am doing nothing wrong." [ turtle479's advice column | Ask turtle479 A Question ]
