How can I convince my parents to let my boyfriend stay the night?
Ok so I've seen a lot of questions on here regarding this subject, but my situations a little bit different...i'm not 12 wanting my 18 year old boyfriend to stay over at my house...lol. I'm eighteen years old and my boyfriend is also eighteen. We both have graduated high school, and we have been together for 9 months. We both still live with our parents. His parents really aren't too strict, and they have no problem with me staying with him or him staying with me. My parents on the other hand...well, I'm not too sure how they feel about it, but my parents are a lot more strict than his are. When he comes over, he usually stays pretty late. It's almost like he might as well just stay the night anyway. And we usually end up hanging out in my room which is in the basement and my parents don't come down there to supervise or anything. Half the time, my parents end up going to bed and don't even know what time he ends up leaving. So if he stayed the night, there would really be no difference, except for that we would be sleeping and that he would be leaving in the morning. The concern that we would be doing something sexual if he stayed the night wouldn't even be valid because we already do all that stuff when he's over here, and my parents have no idea. I mentioned the idea of me going to his house a few months back before I graduated, and my mom said there would be no way that they would let me. However, things are a lot different now. He comes over here all the time and my parents don't make him leave by a certain time like they used to. So I'm not sure if their opinion would be the same. I know that I'm eighteen, and legally I can make these decisions for myself, but my parents pay for a lot of my stuff still and provide a lot for me, so I have to respect their wishes at least somewhat. I have lied to them before and ended up staying the night with him at one of his friend's houses, but I don't like doing that. I would rather just be honest and not have to sneak around. Any idea of how I can convince them to let me?
My parents won't let my girlfriend stay?
they're right.. its not that you never get to meet her or something.. you can spent time with her in the evenings and all, but not whole nights. atleast not now. dont be so stubborn! you surely must be cuddling and hugging and all some other time too right? so whats the big deal. for now, grow up, become a stable and well-settled person in life. then everything will work in your favour.
How to convince my girlfriend's parents to let her sleep over?
hahaha. I'm not going to get married to my girlfriend. We are still in high school. I just don't get why her parents are being so hardcore about this. We wouldn't even have like full on sex if thats what they are concerned about. My parents trust us and like my dad has given me condoms so its not like I have to wait until marriage like one of the answers said. We both aren't even ready to have sex. It would just be fun to be close to one another.
How do I convince my parents to let my girlfriend sleep over ?
Hey, you've probably heard this before, people wanting their girlfriend to sleep over, no sex, etc. Well im not going to deny the fact that we probably would have sex, that's normal. I just want my Christian parents to realise that im solely responsible for my actions. I like to think im fairly mature, at 16. How do I convince them? I don't want people replying with "you're too young and immature", I want ways to somehow show my parents that my choices don't effect me as a person and that I should have freedom and live harmoniously with them?
How do I convince my parents to let my boyfriend come over?
The details in your comment helps A LOT.It’s all about her. She did all of those things, so she thinks you will do all of those things. Don’t say as much to her, though. You don’t want to draw attention to it.You can propose to her that you two are working on a school assigment, and when you finish that, you’ll watch a movie. Here’s the key - set your own deadline, say 10pm and that night, at 10pm, you make a point to say to your mom that he’s headed home, and thank you for letting us hang out tonight.Repeat. Do the same thing, as often as it takes, until she trusts you and him to keep your word.Repeat. Keep your word. (if you lie to her, it’s all for nothing)Over time, if neither of you give her a reason to see him as a threat, then she will trust him. If she doesn’t, then there are more deep-seated issues that you can’t change and it’s not your issue. Move out and live your life on our own terms.
Parents won't let me have my girlfriend over at 18, how can I convince them?
Alright, so I've just recently started dating my current girlfriend within the past 3 months. She comes over when she can and I go to her house when I have the time. We both work a lot, as well as our parents so often when she and I can see one another, our parents are at work. I'm 18 years old, I watch my 9 year old brother after school every day that my parents work, I have brought all of my grades up to A's and B's and totally turned my life around really. I have never done anything against them or lied to them about anything. I've had many opportunities to go out and drink, smoke pot (hell I dated a girl for a week who smoked about 4 gb's every time I hung out with her), go anywhere without asking or telling them. I've kept a steady job and even got promoted (granted it's a grocery store) for the past 2 years. I believe I have proven to be truly responsible and respectful of them. However, I asked my dad if she could come over the other day while they were at work and he told me that 'it wouldn't be a good idea', I texted him asking if we could have a mature conversation about it when he got home with my mom, him and myself. They basically come into my room and reinforce the rules that I apparently already had and say it in a manner as if I had done something wrong or had offended them when I clearly just wanted to try to talk about it and maybe gain some trust and freedom from them. They aren't comfortable with me and her being alone together, but they both know we're great kids and they've met her on multiple occasions. I just think it sucks that I'm 18 years old and still don't have the freedom to have my girlfriend over without supervision. What can I do or say to prove to them that I'll be responsible about it if she were able to come over? I thought asking and talking to them about it would be enough. I might have been better off just not bringing it up and having her come over behind their backs.
How do I convince my parents to let my homeless friend and her 1-year-old daughter stay with us for a month? We're both 17 and she has no other choice.
Have you asked yet? That's the first step.There are several tactics to win favor.1.Appeal to their sympathy. Tell them she is homeless with a daughter and just needs temporary lodging and you dont want the child to starve or die. What kind of monster would say no. Make sure to cry.2.Appeal to their desire to gain. We live in a capitalist society where everyone has a price. Start out offering a low value and increase to the point they will accept. This may be money or could be chores. Put your homeless friend to work in the house cleaning it top to bottom. Icing on the cake would to be to clean the entire house beforehand to suck up.3.Appeal to their fears. If they say no, tell them you are moving out and you are disappointed in them as parents and you are dead to them. Tell them to never contact you again. (Do not use this approach. It can ruin your relationship with your family)4.Appeal to their sense of competition. Find people who your parents try to constantly one up and say that these people are willing to take her in if they deny letting her. This only works if the hypothetical group exists.(probably not a good idea as well. It uses deceit and bluffing)1 or 2 should work.If all else fails, there should be several shelters and organizations that will help your friend to get on her feet. Dial 211. I believe that can give you information.
Girlfriends parents won't let her stay out late?
I get off of work around 8:30 and can get to her house around 9 but her parents won't let her stay out past 11 unless there is some sort of supervision. I am 16 and my parents let me be out as late as I want so this 11 rule is killing me. Most things are a half hour drive from her house so with an hour of driving time what can we do for a date in one hour or how can I convince her parents to let her stay out later.
How can I convince my parents to let me have a boyfriend?
I'm not doing this because of peer pressure. I put in that everyone else has a boyfriend because the usual response is 'you're too young', yet every girl in my grade has a boyfriend. It feels weird to see couples everywhere and your parents won't let you have a boyfriend. Also, I want a boyfriend to kiss and cuddle with, sorry if that didn't come across that way in my question. I want someone to care for me. My parents are super over protective, they barely let me hang out with my friends because they think I'll get into trouble. So bringing a guy around the house would be even worse. I'm already great at school, I'm well behaved, barely get into trouble, do all my homework, and do all my chores without being asked. I don't get why they don't trust me.
How do I convince my mom to let my girlfriend sleep over?
If you're under the age of consent in your state/place of residence, you don't.If you don't have her parents consent, you don't.If you don't have her consent, you don't.Don't ask your mom. Don't ask your buddies, or other guys. Just don't.If, and only if, you have ALL of the other areas in order, then you clean your room!Get all the nasty out, open some windows and get some fresh air in, dust, and vacuum (she will notice)!Now, once you got your room all straight, and everything's looking fresh, then, and only then, do you ask mom's!!This is IMPORTANT!You try to get in a hurry and bypass any of these steps, mom's just gonna say no, and laugh at you while she does!If you got a cool mom, make sure you clean that house, then ask.Don't clean the house, and you're gonna get “the look”. Don't no man want “the look”!Good luck. Use protection.
