what do i tell my parents?
The thing is, my boyfriend stepdad and mom asked my dad already if i can go with them, but my dad flat out said no, then he turned to me and told me i could start crying because he wasn't gonna let me go. So many things bother me about that, the fact that he answered so rudely and put me on the spot when i wasnt saying anything. I've been with my boyfriend for a year and a half and my family knows his family. so i thought that it might of worked but it didn't. and the problem with talking to my dad is that we dont speak to eachother. Im 18 and i've never talked to him ever, there was one time but he was drunk. do you kind of see where im coming from? My sister says that i should just go. And im thinking about just going because im talking about the person that means the most to me.

If you are 18, legally your father cannot stop you from doing anything as you are of legal age. Now here comes the butt; being of legal age also means your father no longer has to be responsible for you. He no longer has to feed you or cloth you. There is nothing that says he must pay for any higher education you might wish to get, allow you to drive his car, pay for the cost of insurance so you can drive that car.
There is probably more to this story than you have written, be that as it may the old adage still applies: “As long as you live under his roof you live by his rules”. So if you want to take advantage of the fact that you are a legal adult and can do as you please, also remember Newton’s first law of Physics as it can apply here. That is; “for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction”. That is what I wrote above that your father has options too should you decide you are too adult to listen to him or abide by his rules while living under his roof.
As I said, I’m sure we do not know the whole story and there will be other times you can vacation with your boyfriend, Is this the time that you want to push the envelope and test your wings.

well im 17 almost 18 and im not allowed to spend the night at my boyfriends house and weve been going out for almost 3 years. that was rude of your dad to say that but he should give you a good reason why you cant go where ever your going maybe his parents should talk to your dad if your talking about going on a trip because i dont see the big deal if his parents are going if his parents assure your dad that you guys will not be sleeping even in the same room then maybe he should ease up a bit but doesnt mean you dont have to because how would he know if you did or not. and if hes still a butt hole because all dads can be then just go your 18 and what can he do to you nothing really your 18 and he didnt give you a good reason say if you dont give me a good reason why i cant then im just going any way. the worse thing would that he would ground you but from what really you do what you want i think so no big deal.
