How do i convince my parents to let me move in with my friend?
Christina, you do have options, but you need to make sure you've covered the basics. You sound mature, so hopefully what I'm saying will get through! If your friend's parents will let you stay with them, has this been discussed in detail? It's great that they said this, but what about the finances? Who will pay for your food, school supplies, books, medical care, phone, etc? Are you close to your friend's mom? I'm asking because if she is serious about this, I think your best course of action is to bring it to a head BEFORE your parents move away. If they want out of town, they're going to be easier to persuade because they won't want to rock the boat. An investigation by CPS is the last thing they want right now and you can use this as a weapon. But talk to the friend's mom and see if she's willing to help you in this. You do have to know if their comment was just a casual type "sure you can stay" vs a more permanent arrangement. Then you, along with her parents, need to tell your parents that CPS will be called in if they don't agree, and also provide some kind of financial help, at least until you're 16 and can get some kind of job.. Please don't run away, however. You need to have somewhere to go, because you WILL get caught, and then you'll lose any say in what happens to you. So if your friend's parents aren't prepared for taking you on for an extended period of time, then don't panic. Try to think of someone else. But you need to be talking to adults you trust.
How can I convince my parents to let me move in with my friend?
So here's some information. I'm thirteen but I'm more mature than most my age. My best friend is 14 and she lives in Ohio while I live in Minnesota. I've never met her in real life, we met through interests. I've Skyped her and met her mom, dad, and sister so I know they aren't stalkers or anything. I'm closer to her than anyone else... Even my mom. Tomorrow we're having our moms talk on Skype and stuff and see how it goes. So far, I've convinced her to let me visit, but how can I convince her to let me move? It's for the best. I mean, out here I literally have no friends. In Ohio there's my best friend Gina and then there's Nick, Brett, John, Savannah, and Grace who are all friends of Gina's. I don't want any of the "You're too young." crap. I'm mature enough. Trust me. I just need some ideas or options. Basically anything that can help. AGAIN. NONE OF THE "YOU'RE TOO YOUNG." CRAP.
How to convince your parents to let your best friend move in?
First of all, just be a bit realistic. Her parents probably love her so much and would hate her see her gone. She can't stay wirh you forever. But if you are really set on the idea, start with just a week or so and then you can let that escalate. Get your parents at a good time, when they are not in the middle of something. Then launch into a speech that doesn't sound too well prepared. Here's an idea: "Mum and Dad, me and (friend's name) have an amazing plan. She's gonna ask her parents too. Well, you know how we're so close and (rant a bit about how you are such good friends), and we never argue. We're practically sisters. Closer even - twins maybe. So we thought that she could stay over with us for (state small-ish time period, you can always raise it, don't just jump into forever). She'd be no trouble and could stay in the spare room. We wouldn't treat it like a sleepover - no late night talking and stuff because we know we've got school. Shed be very well behaved and great fun to have around. (Go on a bit about all the things your parents love avout her). So whaddya say?" Good luck!
How Do I Convince My Parents To Let My Friend Move In With Me?
My friend hates it at her house!! Nobody gets her there. And when she's at my house, everything seems to be okay. We started talking about her moving in with me to get away from all the problems at her house (she lives in the "ghetto" area and her sister and her mom are always yelling at her). Along with that, she would have to change schools if she moved in with me. My parents are kinda strict but they get my friend better then her mom does.
How can I convince my parents to let my boyfriend move in?
I knew very conservative parents who would take their kids' significant others on overnight vacations with them even as early as jr high (separate bedrooms or tents, etc.) I know this is more than a vacation of camping trip but my point is that it's not horribly taboo even in religious, conservative families. You sound like really good kids (teens, sorry - I only say "kids" because I'm old lol); you're clearly very articulate and intelligent which puts you above a lot of the teens I know these days. If you have good communication with your parents, you should be able to talk to them about this. Make plans to really talk with them, set aside some time so that it's not like you're in the car on the way to the store and just blurt it out :) Set up a plan, first though: what will you do to ensure that they (your parents) will be comfortable with this? Are you two willing to, say, sleep with your bedroom doors ajar? Can your bf commit to putting in a certain number of job applications per week to show he's putting forth good effort? Will he be willing to pay some sort of nominal rent once he has a job? Stuff like that. Offer to sign a contract with your parents - you, your bf and them - that outlines guidelines and such. Be willing to put forth more effort than usual around the house. Ultimately, come at them like an adult and don't beg or anything. I think you can all can work this out if they're willing to be a little flexible, and if my assumption is right and you're both really good, level, responsible kids :)

How do I convince my parents to let my friend live with us? She is in a difficult situation with her parents and I'm worried, we are both 13 and my parents are financially stable. We also have a guest bedroom.
You can ask your parents but if your friend is in a bad situation she needs to ask for help from child services first. Unless her parents allow her to leave their home, your parents can get in tremendous legal trouble if they let her life in their house. If her parents are okay with it, they at least need to write a letter and sign it. When they write this letter, it needs to have their address, both of their names along with your friend's name and how long they are allowing her to live at your parents home.If you want to convince your parents to let her live in your home, tell your parents that her and her parents don't have a great relationship. Tell them you honestly believe if she spends time away from her parents in a safe place like their home, her relationship with her parents might get better when she goes back. You need to be completely honest with your parents about why you want her to move in. Your parents are adults. They know what the deal is. They know that this can be a simple matter or a legal matter. Ask them to help you help her.Don't give your friend false hopes. Your friend needs to seek help from school counselor and child services if her home life is not ideal for her. If legal services determine your friend is not in good hands, they will take her away. Your parents can volunteer to foster her in the mean time. The great thing about fostering is that your parents will receive some support from the government to financially support her.I'm sorry your friend is going through crap and I amend you for having such a big heart! You are a great friend and your friend is lucky to have you. Just remember that at the end if your parents don't decide to help your friend, it's not your fault or your parents fault. It takes a lot to invite a stranger in to your home and let them live there and take care of them. Your parents may not want to do that and it's important to not force them. It could end up hurting your friend if your parents choose to let her stay and then later decide they don't want her around. Be very honest with your parents and tell them to be honest with you. Things will turn out to be okay.
How can I convince my parents to let my friend live with us?
First of all 14 is a young age. and i am not going to ask why he is living away from his parents those are details that i shouldnt be asking about. Does your parents know about this guy? if he has been your friend for long enough of time then they should know about him right? if you only knew this guy for a few months then you shouldnt even be getting into his personal life. how would your boyfriend think about it if you moved a guy in? why is this guy important to you? these are all factors that should be considered. for convincing your parents, its probably not going to be easy at all. your asking your parents to have another mouth to feed and another "child" to take care of. there is no real secret of convincing your parents to let him stay with you. it is all depending on what your parents think. all parents think differently. but jus remember, this situation your friends in isnt any of your problem. yes he is a close friend, but there is some distance between you guys and a line which you both shouldnt cross on because you guys are just friends.
Would you let your friend move in with your parents?
I assume you are asking as a teenager. I think my parents would want a major say in the matter since it’s their house and their money that’s buying the groceries and it’s them who have to enforce house rules and curfew and all the things that go with it. They will also want to consider how your friend fits in with the rest of the family. If you have siblings, will your friend get along with them? Will it cause more rivalry and squabbles in the home than already exist? Perhaps your friend will agree to pay room and board by helping with certain household chores that your parents think make up for the extra food, laundry, and cleaning, or maybe your parents will want the friend to sign a contract to pay a certain amount of money per week.
