Brunettie Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 I am 21 years old, senior in college. I live with my parents. My mom will not let me spend the night at my boyfriend's house, although it is fine for him to spend the night at my house. My boyfriend doesn't like that. I would like to stay at his house too. My mom just says it's wrong. How can I get her to let me make my own decisions about this stuff since I'm....21..... PS..I don't have my own car, I use my dad's car all the time. It's basically mine, but not really. Which is why I'm scared to just stay over there. I don't want the car taken away. But really now..I'm 21...
River Rain Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 Problem is, you live at your parent's house. If she sets some rules, you kind of have to abide by them if you want the privelege of having no rent to pay or car expenses. If you've already reasonably spoken to her and she won't budge, then you probably either need to move out or just accept that's the way it's going to be until you do.
Balzac Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 Unfortunately, power of the checkbook is common. Their house, their rules. When you become "independent" you then hold decision making power. 2
Yookie Posted November 11, 2012 Posted November 11, 2012 You can make your own decisions when you can support yourself without your parents help. Focus on finishing school first.
