writes: How can i make my parents acknowledge that i'm old enough and can take responsibility? My bf and i have been together for 14 months now. We love each other so deeply and we always talk about the things we'd do as soon as we get married and our future in general. We would like to have kids together as soon as we've settled. The problem is my parents! I'm 22 now and know very well that i'm a very responsible person and my mom knows that too. My bf is very caring and responsible as well. Everything is perfect between us. He just got his own place away from home but my parents won't let me move out to get my own or move in with him they seem to be old fashioned!!!. I really need to be close to him and together, i just don't know how to convince my own parents. Can anyone help:( Reply to this Question Share |

It's great that you want your parents to see eye to eye on this and that you respect them to where you want their "blessings" and such, but your 22 years old. You make the decisions now, they may not mean to, but are they running your life?
Remember that it's your life, and in the end you'll have to do what makes you happy, and what you want. You don't need your parents permission.
