TheyCallMeOx Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 I'll try and make it short. My girlfriend and I have been dating for almost 4 weeks now, and we both live with our parents. As of right now, I'm currently allowed at the house because I've honored their wishes. My girlfriend and I have been planning a two-day event out of town for quite some time now. The first time we tried to run it by her mom, she said she needed a week's notice before we planned something like that. She basically threatened me and said that if I don't honor that, I'm not going to be allowed back at the house. As a result, we gave her a week's notice. I wasn't there when my girlfriend told her that we were going to rent a hotel room for two days, but since my girlfriend said we're still on for the two day shenanigans, I assumed there was no disapproval on her mom's behalf. THE DAY BEFORE THE 2-DAY EVENT, today, my girlfriend texts me saying that her mom is basically not allowing us to do the 2 day event. She says that if we do, I'm not allowed over there anymore. So here I am EXTREMELY pissed off, and I have no clue on what to do. She's 22 and I'm 24. What would you do? By the way, I'm fully aware that she is the one who lives with her parents so I understand the whole deal with "if you don't like MAH AUTHORATAH, YOU CAN MOVE OUT!" Thank you.

d0nnivain Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 The mother sounds a bit controlling -- requiring a week's notice to approve what her adult daughter is doing. However, while the daughter is living with her parents, & under their roof, she needs to abide by their wishes. If she wants to live her own life, she needs to do so by moving out & paying her own way. If you can get your money back & want to, do that. She can defy her parents but that sounds like a bad idea. You can go & bring a buddy. You can lose however much you paid.
