okay. so i have ben dating this guy for over a year now and we are so close we have done everything really so there im close to his family well close enough for now and im 17 i think it would be okay if i slept at his house with my mom knowing it would be great i wouldnt have to leave and id be happy his mom doesnt care if she talks to my mom. but my mom wont even let us in my room together whatever but so here what is a way that i could talk my mom into letting me go sleep at his house or let him in my room when he comes over.????
Tell your mom you want to stay the night as his, and that she can talk to his mom. Let her know that his mom said it would be okay. Suggest that you'll sleep on the couch (you can still stay up late with him), or that his mom will come check on ya'll every hour or couple hours to make sure that ya'll aren't doing anything. Or suggest that ya'll will leave the door open when you go to sleep.
Then as time goes on and both parents grow to trust you and your boyfriend they can leave the two of you alone more.
Just tell your mom how you feel, don't be rude about it or she'll make you wait until your 18, once you turn 18 though she can't do anything about where you stay the night.
I've been in the same situation, we did a LOT of negotiating to come up with terms and conditions of me staying at his house. Our rules were:
Leave the door open, Some one check on us every hour or couple hours, and one of us had to sleep on the couch, and someone checked on us to make sure we didn't sneak back into the room. Then as time went on we we're finally trusted enough to where I could just sleep in his bed with the door closed and no one checked on us.

this is an issue that some parents find really hard to deal with trusting their daughter with her bf.
you guys have been dating a year and thats seriously longer then most couples alot stay in the same room after a few months,sit down and talk with your mom show her how mature you are and that you really care about your bf and you respect her enough to ask and not sneak around behind her back.
moms are like that always trying to protect us tell her your growing up and she has to give you some freedom sometime would she rather you lie and sneak around?
if she sticks to her guns dont get upset about it be mature and handle it well in front of her
In my opinion you guys are more then ready and should be alowed sleep in the same room and stay over in each others houses ive only been with my bf 4months and luckily my mom lets me.
like you said try getting his mom to talk yours around.
I hope that helps in some way
good luck :)
much <3
