parents not letting me go w/ boyfriend on vacation? Sorry, sorry, sorry, I posted this before!! I just forgot to add ....I have all the money myself, have figured out own form of transportation, literally everyting is taken care of. I dont need anything from them except their permission!! Also, of course, his parents WILL be there to "keep an eye on us" and ive already guaranteed my parents that my boyfriend and I wont go anywhere without his parents with us. (His parents are amazing, and super nice, and they believe we should get some time to experience life.) And theres even a way i can get a job there, from my bf's dad! So id even be making money on the trip (unlike what im doin here.) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Me and my boyfriend will both me 19 next month, we're both in university (2nd year), are living together in my parents house, and have been dating for 2.5 years. His parents want him to come back to his home country (brazil) for his 19th birthday. we live in Eastern Canada. I am a B+ and A student in university, and responsible. My parents let me go with him to Brazil when we were only dating 5 months when we were 16, but since then they simply dont trust me. (My mom is bipolar and they are having marital problems, and i am only hurting their relationship by being here.) I would like to go, because I'd like to spend his birthday with him, and i am very unlucky this summer getting a job (ive had one since I was 16 before this! and i had one in university, but the job ended when April (end of term) came. Jobs are scarce because of the recession.) My parents have always been rather harsh with me. Strict, and such. Is there a way i can convince them to let me go? Or would it be acceptable to just tell them I'm going without their permission? (So far, I have not been able to get them to approve.)

You're a legal adult. 2 : Unbelievable, you state that you live together with your parents and then you state that your parents will not let you go on vacation with him? I find this question very odd. You're old enough to just tell your parents what you are going to do and say bye, bye on your way out. 3 : If your 19 and still asking your parents for permission for things like this, you need to get out of the nest and get your own place. Your both adults now! 4 : You live under your parents roof and they pay for college. You go by their rules until you move out. 5 : i know, such a drag when parents don't trust u. i think that ur 19, u should be able to make ur own decisions. As long as u can afford it and u are responsible, u should be able to go. Hope i helped. 6 : First of all you must have done something in that trip to brazil when you were 16 that's probably the reason your parents are letting you go. I say talk to them tell them whats the difference of being 16 and going to brazil and being 19 and going to brazil tell them your more mature(job, grades etc...), and if they still say NO. Its up to you you're 18 almost 19, you can go without your parents permission. But if you value your families trust towards you and the relationship you have with them (as in close) than i wouldn't go or I would beg until permission was granted. 7 : It's not your parents' decision to make. You're 18 and an adult, so take that vacation with your boyfriend and have a great time. |
