what's the best way to tell your mom you have a bf who is 17 & your 14?

me and my bf have been together for almost 7 months now, my mom kinda knows because of what my neighbor tells her. But she already has a bad impression of him because my neighbor told her he’s a gang banger and he does drugs which he doesn’t do any more but we just wanna step up our relationship a bit to where i meet his parents and he meets my mom (only parent i live with). and there was a little incident of when him n his little brother were here and my mom showed up so lets just say we’ve already started off on the wrong foot. So what would be the best way to tell her or when? and what can I do to show her this is something we are both taking serious? i just don’t know how to start this off or what to tell her, any help would be good.

Answer #1

You might want to prepare your mother mentally before-hand, considering how parents can be, and I’m going by my mother, she won’t take it well if you just decide to tell her one night during dinner that he’s coming over tomorrow.

You want to try and push her to think that he’s not as bad as her neighbors make him out to be and that she should rather do the evaluation herself instead of depending on others. Oh and your boyfriend should look very presentable: some nice fitting jeans, a decent shirt, and manners!

Get him to do the most talking between the three of you since, well, he has to do the impressing! I hope that helps and all goes well for you! :)

good luck i had a bf when i was 15 and he was 21 , just turned 21, but it didn’t matter when some of my family got ear of it they were pissed, but my moms pretty chilled about things. My first real bf was 17 and i was 14 my mom said it was fine bc he wasnt older than my brother.good luck just sit her down and let her no bc my mom hated when i lied to her, and ever since i was 14 i never lied to her i opened up and told her i started smoking ciggerates and she said she wasnt gonna tell me not to bc it would just make me wanna do it even more, which is very true when someone tries to keep 2 ppl from eachother, your just gonna want to be around them even more, and prevail and do what you want. hope this helps.

Answer #3

first things first, if your doing anything sexual its illegal, even if you both want to (yeah its a fucked up law) so you might wana think about that cus your mum wil be, best thing to do is try to explain how it is just 3 years differance, if he was 30 and you were 27 im sure she wouldent give two shits so try and put that point accross.

Answer #4

it isn’t illegal though he isn’t over age yet.. but thanks= ]

Answer #5

in all reality I would just tell her its only a three year difference wich in al reality isnt that bad:) but depending on your parents rules for you getting into a relationship it will change things. If shes one of those moms who are you cant date til your 18 or whatever tell her you have found a respectable guy (if he is someone that would be in her eyes) and explain to her that you like him alot and that you hope that she can accept your decision as a woman to date him.
