Girl's mom

I'm in a relatively serious relationship with a girl, and her parents, mom in specific, is starting to butt in, believing we are to serious and the like.

Frankly it's starting to piss me off, the girl and I can make our own decisions, and it's just her mom trying to hold on because she doesn't want her to grow up. The mom is slowly invading both of our privacy more and more and it's got me to the point where I don't respect her mother because of her inability to respect either of us.

I won't break it off with the girl because of her family, but it is angering me, and I was curious if anyone had some advice.

What are your ages crazySOB297?
 
i'm 23 and i'm gunna tell you what you're parents should be telling you. Parents make the rules end of story. If you live with your parents (18 or not) they still make the rules.
 
How old are you?

There is no such thing as a serious relationship if you are under 25. "Serious" is something that is not needed by anyone till atleast 21. If you are in high school, just have fun.

Yes but it's to the point where she's disrespecting me, and I'm not her child.

Respect usually goes both ways.

And really, how old are you guys?
 
16, and she's 17.

I respect her fully, yes ma'am no ma'am. I do everything I can to help her, hell I do the dishes at their house when I eat dinner with them. I helped put up/take down christmas decorations. I took britt to the doctor when she couldn't..

No matter what it is I respect adults, but she blatanly disrespects me.

I think you should go post some news, and stop telling this kid to nail his girlfriend's mom. 😕 😛

Run away & live your own lives :thumbsup: :laugh:
 
Yes, but like was said, respect goes both ways, and whether she feels I'm just a kid or not, should she not at least respect me?

Maybe she feels that you're being disrespectful to her by being too serious with her 17 year old daughter? She's probably just a protective parent.
 
You sound like you have very little respect for her, in turn. Maybe have a discussion with her and work out a mutual deal? What are you doing with her daughter that would make her disrespect you? (Talking badly about her parents to her, sleeping with her, keeping her out when she's supposed to be back?)

It does sound like you're pretty young and surly. Some attitude adjustment might be in line for you first of all.

Additionally, if you are not as young as we all assume, this may be an issue your girlfriend needs to work out with her mother. If you are in your twenties, your girlfriend may need to have a discussion with her parents about respecting her life, and maybe needs to do some breaking away on her own. NOT recommended if she is under 18 and only partially recommended if she happens to be in college on their tab. She is responsible for her relationship with her parents, not you. So no matter whether you think her mom is holding on too much or trying to keep her from growing up, that's going to have to be the girlfriend's decision and responsibility to alter, not yours.

No, your a child and she's protecting her underage daughter from some one who seeks relationship advice on the internet.
