Question

If your parents didn't like your boyfrind or girlfriend would that stop you from dating them?? and Do you think at a certain age you should able to leave and come back when you want to, when your are still staying at your parents house?? Do you think your parents should have a say in that?

Answer 1

if and only if they had a good valid and verified reason why it is bad! you are your own person!

However be prepared to be shunned or cut off....Have respect..living in their house...you live under their rules. you don't like, You move out!

Answer 2

If you are still being supported by your parents, they should have a say in how late you come and go. If you're under 18, they definitely need to have a say in your curfew. Also, many times parents have viable concerns that make them not like your boyfriend or girlfriend. Do your best to see thier concerns un-emotionally. If they are reasonable, then you should reconsider your date.
Remember, your parents are probably the people in the world least likely to lie to you. If you are so in love that you can only see the good side to your man or lady, your parents can be there to show you the view you can't see.

Answer 3

I'm a stepparent of two grown boys, i mean men....And let me tell you from experience, i along with there dad and bio mom did everything we could to get rid of the then 20 year olds girlfriend who, was a freak of nature. Being older and a females, both us mamas caught on to this girls game in the beginning. Now us being outside the relationship could see things son couldn't see until he finally dumbs crazy b*tch. So maybe your parents are seeing something your to close to see. If not and its just because your dating period, then don't bring dude to your parents home, then they don't have to deal with it...What they don't know wont hurt them (don't tell anyone i said that) LOL
I think age wise when we are no longer responsible for what you do and your of legal age to move out, that's when you decide when your able to leave and come home...Wait till your a mama you'll see as we do... And yes their home their rules, they should be able to decide what, when and how you do things as long as you are under their roof and they are paying the bills...Sorry but all of us, us old folks were young and went through the exact same things your going through now...OK and some of us were really, really bad...shhhhhh don't tell my kids....Your parents (i hope) are doing what they feel is right for you.....

Answer 4

NO, that would not stop me from dating that person. If I loved that person and that person had always been respectful and nice to my parents and my parents did not have a valid reason to dislike this person, it should not matter. When I was young, my bf at the time pulled a knife on my father. Of course my dad did not like him after this, but it took me a while to see that he had a valid reason to dislike this person and I eventually decided to break up with this person due to his disrespect for my father.
And as long as you are living with your parents, they should definitely have a say as to what time you return to their home as well as other rules in the household. I think the age that should allow people to be able to leave and come as they please in their parents house, should be the age that the individual moves their butt out of their PARENTS home and into their OWN. Only when one has moved into their own home and taken responsibility for their own self, should they determine when they come and go.

Answer 5

I think if your parents don't like the person there's a reason for it at least most of the time. My parents didn't care for my ex. They had good reason to. He was controlling and possesive. Tried to keep me away from my friends and family. He never cared for anyone in my family or my friends. I went out with him for longer then I should have. Because I still loved so many things about him. He used to say blood is thicker then water. I guess in this case it was true!!!! But for good reason. But I think if a guy is really good to you and your parents don't like him for a reason that's not good enough for you. You're the one that has to spend the rest of your life with him. And they have to come to terms with it and accept him!!!

Answer 6

I had an experience where my family was really hostile to someone I dated seriously. And I must say first that there were things in him that I couldn't live with going on first (constantly wondering if the looks I got from people when I walked in the room was him cheating and everyone but me knowing. . . and his lying to me all the time about every little thing. . . ). But coupled with my family's hostility towards him (and his not having a steady income) --it was just too much.

But my family's support in my life is really important to me so someone else might be different with that. . .

Answer 7

My mother always had to say some thing about my boyfriends, and she was always right ....my friends ...if she didn't find anything wrong like if they used drugs and not go to school that's when my moms will talk about my friends....but ..we never listen ..and we have to learn by our own mistakes....now that i'm older ...I see she was right about my boyfriends they all turned out to be no good...my friends ...they do their own life after a while and everybody go their seperate ways.....good luck...if you even giving a thought about your boyfriends and friends maybe moms see something that u don't see.....Moms are always right at the end...trust me .....

Answer 8

no it wouldnt stop me from dating my bf because i would know him better than them. and i would try to explain it to them and maybe let them meet him. but i also think if u live in ur parents' house even if ur 18 than u should stay there unless they can tell u that u can leave over night somewhere. but leave somewhere during the day should be ur choice.. if they want to know where ur at than u should tell them so they wouldnt worry.

Answer 9

When you are old enough to set your own curfew, you are old enough to live on your own. As for your boyfriend and girlfriend, they can't tell you who you can or can't date, but I would listen closely to their reasons. Whether we like it or not, our families and our friends can see things about the person we are seeing that we ourselves usually can't see. It's good to get their opinions and see if there is any validity in what they see. Always listen when you can, it might help you avoid making a huge mistake later.
