What do you do if your parents dont like your boyfriend for no reason?

Answer 1

Depends how old you are, and why they hate him. If you are legal age, it doesnt matter what they think. You can either make them get along by taking him to your house and watching a movie or talk to your parents and ask them why they hate him. Dont give them any choice wheather to like him or not bring him over all the time.Maybe they will learn to like him.

Answer 2

Stop and think that with all of her years of experience - years which you haven't lived yet - she might just have a good reason for feeling that way, and you might save yourself a lot of pain by listening to her.

Of course - like every other kid - you know MUCH more about life than someone who's been through at least twice as much of it, right?

When my daughters stomp their feet and howl "You don't UNDERSTAND!!" I laugh. Right. *I* am the one who doesn't understand. Riiiiiiiight.

I know it's hard for you to grasp, but your Mom was once a teenage girl - and HER Mom didn't like HER boyfriend. If your Dad's not around - and you have any idea why - you might just consider that her Mom was right.

A little more thinking might lead you to the possibility that YOUR Mom is right as well.

Parents aren't perfect - we make mistakes like everybody else. What we want more than anything is for our kids to have a better life than we did.

I'm gonna let you in on a little secret: Before you came along, your Mom was a young woman just like you. She made some bad decisions - even though her parents too tried to protect her, she was just as sure as you are in her "maturity."

She was probably a really fun gal - liked to sneak out with her boyfriend, go to parties... See, there's really nothing you'll ever do that she didn't do first.

She knows what can happen when a young girl makes bad decisions - because she probably made them too.

The everyday, 24x7x365 responsibility of keeping you alive and well to the point where you are - combined with the terror that you'll make some huge mistake - is what turned her from that foxy party-girl into the howling shrew that's the bane of your existence today.

The reality is that Mom has an awful lot of Wisdom - which is only gained through life and experience. You're probably intelligent, and you may even be smart, but you can't possibly be WISE. You haven't lived long enough.

A smart AND wise girl would listen to her Mom, and at least try to understand why she feels the way she does. You may not agree today, but someday when you have a daughter of your own the light-bulb will go on over your head and you'll hear a GIGANTIC **CLICK!!**

That'll be the sound of you realizing your Mom wasn't stupid - you were.

Then you'll get to relive the whole thing from your Mom's perspective.

Parents aren't NEARLY as stupid as teens think we are. Someday, they'll understand...

Answer 3

from my experience my parents did me good im now glad they hated that guy cause i hate him too No Reason? Of course, I do not know what your parents said to you. Sometimes parents are not clear about their reasons. That's a shame! But, you'll have to admit, that age provides experience, an insight that comes with growing up. My parents objections to my late wife were never specific. That is often a parent's failing and it is mostly done to protect you from unseemly consequences. I certainly would recommend that you ask either one of your parents for the specific reason why they do no like your boyfriend. Just ask them in a positive way, like "I understand that you are concerned about me, but wouldn't it be better if you'd tell me "why" you object to my boyfriend? This is worth a try!

Answer 4

You could careless

NO! you dont stop caring, just yell at your mom, list things WHY she SHOULD like your boyfriend, or you can secretly date your boyfriend, with out her knowing=

Answer 5

Find out why. They may just have the initial mistrust that any parent has when dealing with that situation, but if there is something they know and you don't then you ought to find out what. Then get your boyfriend to do something nice or respectful to show your parents he is worthy.

it really depends on what they're reasons are. if they are valid and just looking out for your own good, then maybe you should listen to what they have to say. if hes a stoner/druggy/criminal...you should listen to what they have to say. if hes a bad influence, listen to what they have to say. but if they just don't like him and they have no reasons for it, then don't do anything. as long as you and him are happy together, have fun and like eachother...thats really all that matters.

Answer 6

This is always a difficult situation and it is important to follow a few steps to ensure the best possible start to the relationship between your family and your boyfriend. Here are some tips:

- Introducing your boyfriend to your siblings first will make it easier for your parents to accept him. If your siblings like him, your parents may be more inclined to like him.

- Listen and respect what your parents have to say to you. They may have a point, you know.

- Prepare your boyfriend and tell him about the likes, dislikes and preferences of your parents so he can put his best foot forward when he does meet your parents.

Answer 7

If your parents really hate him then you should all sit down and talk about it.

Answer 8

Try discussing their reasons for disliking your boyfriend. If this doesn't work, maybe you could point out you don't object to their friends and they should offer you the same respect.

Answer 9

Mabe you should just tell them you love him........Tell them that he is smart and things you both have in common
