Which one of your parents, is more acceptant of your relationships? Options

Ugh, my mom and I joke around about me getting a bf later on but I can rarely tell when she's serious. (She jokes about it all the time.) But my dad, on the other hand, never jokes. He automatically takes a disliking to any guy I talk about, boyfriend or not. Eesh, I'm surprised he still lets me go to public school.

I'm about to go into 8th grade (only a year till high school, aaah!) and I don't wanna be the freak who has no life what so ever. They always have a reason I can't hang out with my girl friends, they won't let me hang out with guys. Period. And when I wanna take a bike ride/walk they're all 'who are you gonna meet?' God. It's annoying as hell.

Do/did your parents act like this?

both of my parents seem chill about it now that i'm older. although i'm almost certain my mom is the more serious one in this matter, mostly because when i was younger she was the more overprotective/paranoid one. I totally understand why now and i know it's hard to deal with, but you have to understand that they have their reasons. i'm 20 and my parents still freak when i go out alone or with friends. give it time so that you can gain their trust. i know it's hard but thats life. what i can suggest is for you to invite you friends over (with your parents consent) and have them meet your parents. have like a movie night or something. that's what i started doing my 8th grade year, because i wasn't allowed to go out or anything like that.
