Maybe 'irrelevant' is too strong a word, but it certainly stops meaning so much outside of school.<br /><br />Also, I hear you on the fact that your parents are very vocal about their opinions on your relationship. They're only saying what they think is right, and they care about you (which I know you already know), but it is still annoying when parents continue to treat us like children, even though we're approaching adulthood.<br /><br />You're the oldest sibling, yeah? It's a first for your parents, so they've got to learn to let go and trust you. I'm expecting it's not the easiest thing in the world for them, either.<br /><br />They SHOULD trust you though - you've got a good head on your shoulders. They'll see that in time.Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18133073584012707168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3800461721275952629.post-236930117995485492013-01-07T02:57:31.231-07:002013-01-07T02:57:31.231-07:00Your parents sounds kind of like mine.

She's a doctor you know, she'll probably leave you for better so break up with her now so it's easier for you.<br /><br />Seriously though, she's probably going to break up with you because you love sleeping in so much."<br /><br />Thanks Mom and Dad.DWeihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01052727489537771147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3800461721275952629.post-85480909055869048692013-01-06T23:22:33.358-07:002013-01-06T23:22:33.358-07:00I am dealing with some boyfriend and parental issu...I am dealing with some boyfriend and parental issues somewhat (kinda) similar to you. I think it is what parents do, a lot of the time. They worry, and they do so love to point out how much they worry.<br /><br />If you keep your good head on your shoulders, I think you'll be okay. And if you don't, you'll make some mistakes and learn from it, because that's what life is. If you didn't make mistakes, you would never grow. So, while this is really a frustrating experience (trust me, I know) you're also learning from this bump in the road too. Hang in there. I'm rooting for you!Kayleighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05096554974279170977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3800461721275952629.post-86353681026406796322013-01-06T20:26:41.436-07:002013-01-06T20:26:41.436-07:00Of course your parents can have their opinions, bu...Of course your parents can have their opinions, but hopefully they'll realize that they just have to let you make your own decisions now.

i'm...your parents are just being parents. ugh. <br />i'm keeping my relationship secret because if my parents know they'll say I'm making all of my decisions based on proximity to boy. I mean, really, really, I'm not like that. I'm mega independent and believe that if two people want to be together they will be! regardless of distance or anything else. If it doesn't work out, the relationship wasn't right for one of them. but I'm young, I "don't know anything" and "haven't experienced anything," so my mom and dad think i'd throw my life away or become some submissive woman. <br />Anyway, you, Lizzi are a smart girl and as long as you know you're doing things for you who cares about everyone else? (I mean, obviously we care about parents and their nagging... but God I wish we didn't!)Bren https://www.blogger.com/profile/04977380809105663452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3800461721275952629.post-19221713026555573972013-01-06T04:25:35.551-07:002013-01-06T04:25:35.551-07:00While what they're saying is coming from a goo...While what they're saying is coming from a good place, they do need to realise you've gotten the message, and that you've tried to rebuke them several times without success. What happens between you and JB is between the two of you in the first place. If they're so sure that things are going to go wrong between you two they should just wait patiently for it to happen and then be there for you while pretending to not judge you. Like most parents.

I wouldn't ignore them entirely -- perhaps there is a kernel of truth in what they say -- but you have a good head on your shoulders and will make good decisions. They raised you well. And although that might not always be the kindest thing to throw back in their face, hopefully they will see you're responsible, independent, and capable of being in a relationship that may go further or not. <br /><br />I don't think I ever realized he was 8 years older than you. It doesn't seem to matter, though. When you find someone who makes your days that much brighter, age shouldn't be a barrier.<br /><br />I love you and I know you will sort things out. :)Lizziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15488844231027847623noreply@blogger.com
