writes:My girlfriend is a mother. She is 18 and we dated before. I myself am 19 and while most people think that being in love at an age so young is trivial, and more likely an infatuation. This isn't. It's hard to explain but i really do love this girl. Now her and my mom don't get along at all. (we dated previously and they got into a fight) We broke up and after 6 months we dated again. we've been dating for about 5 months now and my family still won't accept her. For my dad it's because she is a mother. I'm not even allowed to bring her to my house despite the fact that I pay rent... I gave them an opportunity to actually spend time with her and get to know her as a person but they shot that down. I want them to get to know her, I know that they would like her. But they wont give her the chance. Any suggestions on how I might be able to convince them that she's the one? (besides proposing to her)

 As someone who is probably about the same age as your mother I would not be pleased to think that my son was going out with a woman who was so young and had a child. I am sorry to say that I would hope he could do better and meet someone at university or was free from baggage. That might not be a very nice thing to say but I would be disappointed that he would chose to tie himself down to someone at such a young age with a child. I probably would not be impressed by the girls morals and if I had got into a fight with her before then she would not be welcome in my home. There is no real answer here other than time and you may have to move out and live somewhere else if you want to prove the relationship is strong and real. Only time will prove to parents that you are serious about each other.

 move out and get your own place and stop paying your parents rent if they wont let you have your girlfriend over. its your life not theirs and you dont tell them what to do so become an adult and move out and control your own life. then their opinion will matter less, they will see this and hopefully they will show the maturity and diplomacy to get along with her even though they may never like her.
