dej287 Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Hello guys, So I met this girl, she is so amazing! She is 23 and I'm 21. I know she's older but we just click naturally because I am a very mature individual. She also has a 7 year old beautiful girl. I really like her a lot and we just recently started going out for about a month. My parents are what you would call the typical hispanic parent. Pretty judge mental and I know that they would not approve of me going out with a girl who has a child. They would tell me I'm too young and I don't need this... Blah blah.. This is my first time dating a girl with a child but she seems like such an amazing beautiful woman that I actually don't mind it. I've met her daughter before but as a friend and nothing officially until it's been going good for a while as I understand. She has a great set job, paying her own bills and all at such a young age. She doesn't need me for my money nor to take care of her kid. She's got her own. She just wants a partner that will want her and love her. And of course respect the child. What should I do about my parents... It's not the deciding factor of whether I want to be with her or not cause it's my decision. But their opinion matters to me of course. What is your take on this situation? How can I go about it? Thanks for he replies!!!
PegNosePete Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Unfortunately there's not a lot you can do. You can't force them to accept your choices in life. You can simply reinforce that it is YOUR decision, not theirs. In a nice caring way, of course. Keep a united front with your gf. Your parents will no doubt be picking up on any flaws they can, so make sure you don't show them any cracks in your relationship. Don't use your parents as an outlet for relationship frustration or ask them for relationship advice (you know their answer will be to split up!!). Eventually if you can show that you have a good relationship and are happy together then most parents will accept it eventually. Your happiness is their main concern. As long as you're happy, they will (eventually) be happy. Just don't expect it overnight... 1
