Same. I would often tell them that I was having "studying sessions" after school, or "hangin' out with a couple guys", and they bought it. Which then lead me to the park, where I was bitten multiple times in certain areas I would rather not talk about.




Having daughters is overrated. If my son came home and told me he just got laid for the first time, I would give him a high-five and start addressing him as a man.

If my daughter came home and said she just got laid.. Well, http://www.moviewiseguys.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/kid-getting-shot.jpg is what me and my wife would do to the boy.

Too true and your avatar is freaking me out...

If you emulate the eyebrows while telling your parents you're just going to your room to hang out with a girl, you're golden.

Why are your parents so mean to you, OP? My parents never would have done this to me, then again, my father had my oldest sister at 15 :whistling:

What!? It's a great avatar. :stare:

I don't think it's a big deal to have friends of the opposite six over. Have you sat down and talked to your parents about it?

That was my thought as well.

Yes I have, but they aren't the easiest people to talk to. When I try to have a conversation with them such as this it just turns into a barbaric argument.

Then next time, bring an axe.

And Cuixihhuitl's older brother at 8.

Well a lot of people seem to think men can't have friends that are female because there is one role for a man and that is to have six with everything woman (human of course). I am not sure why people think men are supposed to be that way, but they do. Regardless maybe you should take a different approach to your parents. Or if that won't work, hang out with her at her place or somewhere else.

I only have one brother, actually, and I don't think he had him till he was 18, but this is not a thread about my family :biggrin:

On topic: I've always found that arguments usually start when people start interrupting eachother, and then the person that was interrupted tries to continue on, in a louder voice, and so on, until it reaches a verbal fight. My advice, don't interrupt your parents, and if they interrupt you, stop talking and listen to what they have to say, it also gives you time to come up with a counterargument. Stay calm, collected, and respectful.

I do hang out with her almost everyday at other places, but she wanted to come over and I said yes not expecting my parents to go psycho. They didn't let her come over.

But bring an axe.

Well do your parents believe she's just a friend? It's possible they can still just be worried about it, and in that case you'll have to accept it because it's their house. Because there's probably no making them see that..something dicey wouldn't happen.

its a quality double standard, isnt it?

I limit my actual girlfriends' contact with my family as much as possible.

The last time I brought one of those 'friends who happens to be a girl' over we were working on a project and there was another guy there, so I don't think my mom were worried about us having six. (but, "kids these days").

My mom has never been stringent about anything. I've never been all that "rebellious" so she's never had a reason to be strict like that.

They're just being careful, because as we all know, anything they're afraid you might do is physically impossible anywhere but inside your house. Now you're safe forever.

Yeah, well...I married my best friend long ago. We have three children now. Just saying.

But if they are over 18, I'd just as soon they be open about whatever they do. Yes, I would let a child of mine at that age have a gal over to spend the night. Prior to 18 is a maybe dependent upon how her parents felt about the matter and the amount of maturity they displayed. I would in fact only try to encourage safe six if I believed that would or might occur. Under the age of 16 I would allow them to invite a girl over but would forbid them from staying the night unless it was in the spare bedroom and my kids know I am a very light sleeper and would hear them sneaking in the middle of the night.

I see no reason to forbid visits of any kind. But really, bottom line is if you live in your parents home, it's their rules regardless. :shrug:

I guess there's only one thing you can do, OP. Take over your house. By force.

Exactly. Once you have full control of the living quarters, you can have girls over errrrreday.

My parents bought me condems when I was in high school and let me have girls stay over.

They said they would rather ensure we used protection than engage in risky behavior at some party or unknown location.

And then I bet you ruined the furniture with your sweaty booty.

Your avatar makes that statement utterly terrifying.

Just saying.

I was the youngest of several boys, so my mom was really liberal with me. She always yelled at my brothers for sneaking girls in, but I took a different route.

"Mom, this is Stephanie. She's going to stay the night. I'm going to leave the door open, and the light on. You can come in whenever you like."

So I had plenty of girls over. You just had to listen for her footsteps.

First, I just want to say I'm 20 years old. Ok:

My parents - which I still live with while attending university - truly are indifferent about me 'doing the deed' with women. They just expect me to know the responsibilities that CAN come with 'deed doing' and that most, not all, will be on my shoulders if I were to get a woman pregnant. I still remain a virgin to this day though, and I plan to until I become financially secure and more mature.
