Buying things for my daughter would be a pretty neutral thing - it wouldn't make me like the boy any more than it would make me dislike him. Unless we're talking about an engagement ring, of course. ;-)
I have to say, though, that a puppy is a bad, bad, BAD idea. If you're still living at home with your parents, then you're essentially bringing home a roommate that may cost them money and time and ruin some of their possessions. You should never do that without their permission...and even if you do get a dog, it's a better idea to be involved in every step of the purchase (make sure it's not from a puppy mill, for one thing!).
I'd also question the wisdom of announcing you have a boyfriend by showing off something he gave you. That will likely make your parents think you two are moving too quickly. Instead, I'd mention that you've met someone nice and are dating - and then at Christmas you can show off what he gave you, or even invite him over sometime to meet them.
Good luck!

you had better find out if you can have a puppy first. The size of the gifts he gives you probably won't make a difference in how they will feel about him, but more the way he treats you. Just bite the bullet and introduce him to them. If you like him why wouldn't they?

Ok for starters..How old are you? And second WHY are you keeping this from them? Are they mean, nasty,or distant from you or is your boyfriend really bad news. There must be some deep reason that you keep your boyfriend from your parents? If you are close to your parents, then sit them down and tell them that you are wanting them to be able to share things that are going on in your life.If you keep them from knowing that you have a boyfriend they might wonder what all else you hide from them. So I would talk to them. You never know they just might understand after all. Good Luck Sweety.

First of all no body should buy animals for gifts if they are not family members. And why can't you be honest with your parents? What are you hiding for? I would want to know my daughters boy friend before ant gift giving is involved. You need to introduce your boyfriend to your parents and stop secrets. Other wise your parents are not going to trust you if they happen to find out ...and they WILL find out. The truth always prevails!!

Why are you hiding him? Are you ashamed of him? Are you afraid that your parents won't approve. Something sounds fishy. Why isn't he interested in meeting your family? A puppy is a stupid gift. You don't own your own place but now bringing an unwanted annoyance (the dog) into your parents' home. Stupid move.

a. tell them about him first
b. dont let him get you a puppy, as cute as they are, they are living things who live and need caring for for YEARS, doubtful that your relationship will last that long and puppy will be a reminder of that, and you might end up hating the puppy.
c. if you are open and honest and up front with your parents they will respect your decisions and be more accepting of the people and presents you bring home.

i have a17 year old son who has a girlfriend of the same age, her parents don't know they are seeing each other, he also buys her lovely presents, but i would be telling him that a puppy would be out of the question, as a gift, they are far too much responsibility for anyone. its time you told your parents that you are seeing someone, they will be happier knowing that you can confide in them.

because of fact they have their very own innovations. possibly they sense strongly approximately particular parenting subject concerns. it would desire to be that they see a great number of mothers and dads appearing in a manner with their little ones that they dont sense appropriate. merely because of fact they dont have little ones doesnt propose that they might no longer supply helpful suggestion. Ive by no potential had plague yet i be conscious of extra on the subject of the 14th century than maximum persons. Ive by no potential commited a serious crime nor am I a felony expert, yet I even have evaluations in regards to the justice device. a great form of the persons who answer interior the parenting section have very a great number of experience working with infants. they have seen parenting at its ultimate and at its WORST. we are able to learn plenty from those on the outdoors looking in. we are too busy being mothers and dads that we are able to possibly no longer understand what we are doing and can value their suggestion and suggestions.

you're young, aren't you? parents won't like your bf just because he buys you a gift. actually, if the guy hasn't got the decency to introduce himself-and you aren't helping that-he doesn't get my vote at all. best to come out in the open with this. if a kid bought my daughter a gift, and i didn't even know he exsisted, i be upset with he and my daughter.
