Watching a movie with your bf/gf Options

[mikechowder07]

hey guys, this is my first post and topic! haha. ok anyways, I was watching a movie last night with my girlfriend, under a blanket, and with the lights turned off but my dad came downstairs and watched the whole movie with us. Afterwards, he told me how he didn't like us watching the movie by ourselves and HAD to watch it with us. I got so pissed since he basically ruined the night. Anyways I was wondering if any of your parents are like mine. I mean I wouldn't mind if they check on us occasionally but watching the whole movie with us seems unreasonable. We're both 16 by the way.
Thanks

Wow. That is a bit too protective, but your dad is just concerned. Talk to him, and tell him what you've told us. That it'd be okay to check up on you two, but not sit and invade on your date.

If my parents ever knew i even had a date, theyd lock me in my room. Which is why I just choose to tell him the truth but not the whole truth. Im going out with friends. Which is the truth. But i am also going w/ my boyfriend, which i tend to leave out (:

[*Programmer*]

that's funny....just use the "you don't trust me guilt trip" it usually works to get your way

hi belllllllllllllllaa

[mikechowder07]

I did talk to him, but he thinks 16 is too young to be in a relationship.. Also I dind't tell him I had a gf for a whole month until my parents found out that I did from someone else. haha.

[edit]
PLEASE VOTE AND REPLY! I WANT TO HEAR EVERYONE'S OPINION AND THEN I CAN SHOW MY PARENTS. thanks and sorry for the caps lol

umm, my parents wont watch the movie with us, no, thats just weird, plus me and my girlfriend are both almost 18 so my parents dont really care i guess, they kind of expect me not to do anything extreme in my room, but we watch movies in my room together and i dont get any resistance, although my parents did crack jokes about it at first....what are they gonna do? we are both eighteen with raging hormones, as long as protection were involved in anything we do, my parents dont care. as long as we are safe.

[FoxBandCutie08]

That would suck. I mean, if you've been caught doing things your parents didn't like with your girlfriend before, then it is understandable. Watching the whole movie just to check up on you guys is a little unreasonable. Tell your parents that checking up is ok, but you're 16 and old enough to be responsible and trusted for a couple hours, watching a movie with your girlfriend. Parents should always give you the benefit of the doubt, just don't prove them wrong.

If it was my parents; I doubt she'd even let us watch the movie. My mom is very suspicious. She'd immediately assume that we were going to do the deed once she leaves the room.

[*anubis*]

wtf?!

i would never speak to my dad again if he ever did that.

i can't believe some parents actually do that. i don't know how you can just take it. i would be pissed as hell.

[Anielka]

That's horrible. I don't think my parents would do that. They'd be too busy flipping their lips over the fact that I actually have a boyfriend. x3

[*chaneun*]

Your parents just care and don't want to be responsible for "stuff" that happens. It may seem unfair, but they're doing what's best for you. End.

[mikechowder07]

we're 16 years old. its not like we aren't responsible.

[AkiraKun]

Wow, that is.. really sad. To have a nice night watching a movie with your bf/gf, but to know your dad is right beside you. That's over protective? You can try talkign to him, if that doesnt work. Watch at your bf/gf's place, if that doesn't work either... then you wait till you have your own place.

[lilnatcat]

Haha! Thats pretti embarassing~ A bit too protective!

U should talk to ur dad about it. Say that u won't do anything that intimate with her when u guys are alone. That he shouldn't worry too much about it and u kinda want to spend time alone with ur gf. U should tell him that u won't let the relationship affect ur school studies.

My bf is 18 1/2 and I'm 17 1/2

IF we were watching a movie at my place then they most likely would'nt be that protective and sit with us. However if the movie's kinda porn-ish... they'd just freak out and think sumthing's gona happen~ Probably won't let us watch the movie! Haha! Thinks I'll go corrupted!

But if its just a movie, I would'nt really want one of my parents to be watching it with us.........

[Mr. Slowjamz]

well if you were watching a movie properly ....i guess .....its fine . but i mean .. a blanket .... whooo heyy now . sometimes you just gotta lie that we were cold so we needed a blanket.

[Levy2k6]

your parents watching the movie with you it's sorta crazy but i imagine after watching 20 more movies, they are gonna give up on it.

i watch movies all the time with my girlfriend, we would usually watch the movie by ourselves but then her mom would walk in and check on us and it's not like we care that much. Nothing to hide anyways... or most of the time. lol.

i imagine it's just a trust issue you have to workout with your parents.

[*xcaitlinx*]

nooo. me and my boyfriend always watch movies by ourselves and put a blanket over us. (uhh not because we're cold ;D) my parents are protective but not to the point where they HAVE to see what we're doing every minute. i'd be mad if they didn't trust me enough to give me some privacy with my boyfriend.

[EddieV]

My dad doesn't mind, like I would try anything in the living room.

[Chii]

i think that maybe if you took the blanket away, your parents wouldn't be as concerned. the blanket conceals what they're afraid you two might do.

ha, my parents would die if i was alone with a boyfriend and i'll be 18 later this month. my parents are too overprotective and old fashioned.

[xCrys]

My mom really doesn't mind... Just as she put it "NO SEX, AND NOTHING BELOW THE BELT" hehehe... But he sleeps with me when he comes to visit ^^; tho.. Him being in England really is a bummer

[lilliannnn]

My dad doesn't mind, like I would try anything in the living room.

Exactly.

[*suddenly she*]

my parents would let me and not be a hassle.
... when i'm married.

apparently i can't be alone with a guy until i can support a family, so.

[31miracles]

i do it all the time in my basement
parents never go down therrrrrr

[JumpforJoy]

My parents don't care anymore.

Good Point.

[pinayprincess]

wow; well, i never done that before lol... but you'd probably get why you dad was sitting there [b/c u know parents, thinking SOMETHING might be going on]

for me, idk... the last time i watched a movie was in the movie theater, and nothing went wrong...

[alysaphobia]

My parents don't care, they give us privacy because they know we're not going to do anything seriously bad.

[Mystic Eyes]

Your dad is just concerned thats all but at the same time, he should give you guys some privacy.

[elaboratedream]

any time I've had a significant other over, my parents have like... stalked us.

and one time last summer (I was 15, almost 16), my at the time bf invited me over to his house and his dad, his dad's bf, and a random 40 yr old lesbian who lived there were there. My mom didn't think that was enough supervision and she invited herself in and set up her laptop in their kitchen. We went upstairs to watch tv (the only tvs in the house were in ppl's rooms) with the door open, and she felt the need to come upstairs literally every five minutes.

[xMayleex]

Erm no. My father generally is fine with it. He lets my boyfriend come up to my bedroom with me, he does give us abit of a warning. But he'll give us peace from like 7-11 (:. We're only 15, so my dad doesn't think anything will happen. I also have respect for his wishes so I make sure that nothing happens, except for watching movies (y).

[skillxz]

holyfuck I'd be so pissed..that is COMPLETELY out of line.

Of COURSE, there is the whole, 'he cares for you, just making sure you dont do anything stupid, watching over' etc thing, which is TRUE..

..BUT that's why at MOST, they come down and check in on ya whenever, just peaking in, or walking through, but NOT SITTING DOWN AND WATCHING THE ENTIRE MOVIE. I would be EXTREMELY Pissed, probably walk out or stand up to them at the spot.

[motherdahlia]

My parents, I think, have a certain amount of trust in me. This one time, I had my boyfriend over and my whole family was watching a movie, but my mom and dad went to bed, and left me and my boyfriend alone with a blanket over us. Needless to say the blanket part wasn't really needed when they left .

My mother is very trustworthy and my dad, well, he just doesn't want to know.

I'd say your parents are just protective. It's probably for the best. My parents aren't very protective and I've done some things that I regret.
