who really gives a crap what your mum thinx? your 20 for gods sake.
Is it really that much of a stretch?nwatts said:Let me ask though, do your parents have zero respect for your own capacity to make decisions? If you chose to engage in sexytimes with this bloke then can't they realise that's a decision you've made, that just so happens to be something ideologically different between you all? I just don't really understand parents. (And i mean no disrespect i'm sure they're as cool as cats).

Plz read thread.BlackDragon said:tell them your life is none of their business! because its not! who cares what they think?! you're 20, they can't and shouldn't stop you from doing anything. you have your own freedom!
ur almost 20!!!!!!!!!! i dont mean to sound harsh but they need to let u do ur own thing. their beliefs r not necessarily urs.ujuphleg said:So heres the scenario:
I am going on holiday next year with my friends down to the South Coast for a week. After asking my parents for 3 years, they've finally said yes - they didn't let me go in Year 12, or last year, but finally, they've said yes.
I'll be almost 20 (I'll be turning 20 in March of 2007) and they figured that there was no real reason to say no - I'm paying for the whole thing myself, they won't have to pick me up or drop me off anywhere, NOTHING.
However.
My boyfriend will be coming on the trip with us, and they will have an issue with that. My parents (mother, in particular) is staunchly anti-sex before marriage and believes that I'll be the virgin mary until I'm married. Part of the reason they said No in year 12 was that they thought I'd be taking him along (same boyfriend) The fact that he'll be coming on holiday and potentially sleeping in the same bed as me will virtually guarantee that they'll change their mind.
I've been with this boy for 2 and a half years now so its not a situation that will change.
What would you do in my situation, knowing that telling them would lead to a strong possibility of having them say no to letting me go?
Tell me about it. Not to mention that those making additional comments aren't really that contructive anyway.AsyLum said:lol, susan you should really get this closed haha, stragglers ahoy!
