Staying at Gay Friend's House

[Crispybacon]

Hey guys, I'm trying to think of a way to get my mom to let me stay the night at my friend's house. We're both openly gay, so she automatically assumes that we're just hooking up. Is there a good way of convincing her to let me stay? She's been weird about me staying at any guy's house since I came out and having a good excuse would be great.

Well, firstly, she should trust you enough, unless you've given a reason for her not to trust before. Also, if you're 18 as it says in your profile, she shouldn't really try interfering much. But you could just simply try convincing her that you're just friends or something

[Crispybacon]

That's how I'd expect her to be, but her excuse is that it's the same as if I was straight and staying at a girl's house.

Well your 18 I would be telling her get stuffed but that's just me you aren't going to hookup are you

[Crispybacon]

Not planning on it

[Vicboy2707]

Well then she should trust you I don't know why she wouldn't your 18 it's your Choice and she need to realise she can't keep you all your life lol

well as others have pointed out, your 18, you at this point do have control over your life. but that being said just saying your going to hang out. you already said you weren't planning on hooking up. even say we're going to watch a game or a certain movie.

First of all, if you're 18 but still live under your parents roof, then they still have say in your life whether you like it or not. Second, as a response of my own I would say that it doesn't make much sense for your mom to not let you go. It would be the same if it were a straight guy going to a girl's house. There's nothing wrong there.

Theres no answer anyone can give you here that would help you convince your mom to let you stay at your friends house. You know her better than anyone here, that being said, you know what she will agree to and what she wont agree to -- and after living with her for 18 yrs, you should have figured out a way to manipulate her into getting your way. I dont know what else to tell you, so good luck.

As i can see you are 18 so you shouldnt really ask about going to a friends house i guess . but if you really need to ask just tell her that you are good friends with him and that you want to spend some extra time with him

he doesn't need mommy's permission every time he goes somewhere. you're right to an extent, but if she is that controlling, then she is not a healthy person to be around with in the first place, esp if she thinks she can control every single aspect of his life

[TWDjacob]

You could tell her that it's not just you two. Say a few other people are going over to have a party or something

Seth is right (a lot) you don't need your moms permission any more. "Mom I'm staying at x house tonight, love you see you tomorrow " done

Try and be reasonable. You don;t have to have an argument beyongd what's required, just assure her that you have more important stuff to do than hook up
