Parents errrr..
Everytime I date a boy my mom only lets me see him on the weekends. She thinks weekdays are for school and family and friends sometimes. And of course, this causes everyone to break up with me. What can I tell her?

Maybe give some free advice about: Love Life?
Thats probally a concerned mom talking.
If you really like a guy i think before you start dating, you should tell him "hey, my mom has rules and i'm not allowed to see you on the week days unless were at school but the weekends i can" i'm sure he will understand, guys that are that needy, are probably not worth that much time anyways.
hope i helped(:

Date more mature guys.
Seriously, if you're breaking up because of that restriction the relationship wasn't worth much to begin with.
I have been in relationships were we only got to see each other a few days a month and had to settle for phone the rest of the time. It happens, you can't help if you like someone who you don't live within walking distance from and you both are busy.
Go for a different guy demographic. At 17 you should be able to find guys in your age range who aren't needy flakes.

okay i had like that same problem and what i did was i talked to my mom and told her how i really like this guy and didnt want to push him away by not spending time with him and that maybe at the very least twice a week and on weekends would be fair considering my age...so basicaly compromise
maybe group dates...or "study dates" could work...

Wow, see if I were you, it would be the boys I would be having a firm talk with as well as my mom.
It's not totally insane for your mom to lay down some rules about school nights or weeknights. Most sensible parents have rules like that. The simple argument is to place your boyfriend in the 'friend' category as well, and tell your mom something like "Look, he's a friend too and it doesn't make sense that I can hang out with friends sometimes on weeknights but not him. It wont be an all the time thing, just a sometimes thing, just like my other friends."
But really, if the guy you are dating can't handle the fact you have other obligations (and sensible parents) then he's a needy wuss and isn't really worth you time anyways.
