Today, I got the courage to ask my mom if I could go to the movies alone on my first date with my new boyfriend. She said ok, which was surprising because she never lets me go anywhere alone. When I got to the theatre with him I saw my mom. She had saved seats for us. FML
I agree, your life sucks (53347) - you totally deserved it (2285)

Awww...that sucks, I'm sorry. How old are you? Hopefully under, like, 14. And then it isn't such a super-bad FML. :(
woww that really sucks. :( Talk about awkward. I agree with #1, I hope you're no older than 14. Then it's not so awful, but still embarrassing.

ouch...... what a burn..
hopefully your boyfriend understood!

that would be so embarrassing! i agree with #1 and #2 i hope your quite young, otherwise shes super over-protective of you

My mum didn't let me go on an actual "date" with my boyfriend until we'd been together for a year. I feel your pain.

I'm sorry. That really sucks. I agree with #s 1 and 2. Hopefully you're just young and you're mom is being protective. But still. That bites.
Wait... She KNEW where and when and to which movie you were going???
Dude, if she asks you that, sure thing is she'll be there.
Technically she did let you go to the movies alone, she never said you could be at the movies alone. But yea, FYL
Sounds like the kind of mom who will make you wear a promise ring and take you and your friends out on your 21st birthday. Best to stop it now while you still can. Here's two websites that can help:
http://www.sexualityandu.ca/teens/tips-4.aspx
http://teenadvice.about.com/cs/parentstalkto/ht/parentstalkht.htm
I don't work for these websites or have stock in them or anything, they are the kinds of things that have helped me in the past. Seriously, talk with them as soon as possible. It's hard but you will be glad when you are 18 and not afraid to ask your mom if you can go on the pill because you want to be able to have sex without being afraid you're pregnant every morning after. Not to mention all the other problems over protective parents can cause. Don't be to harsh though, remember they do it because they love you, no matter how misguided they may seem.

I'm turn 19 next month and still find my mom following me when I take the bus sometimes. She also wants the names and phone numbers of anyone I spend time with as well as how I met them and their parents names (including people in University and living in res), so I feel for you. AND she only let me go out on my own a year ago when I turned 18, and even then it was "Yeah, I'm going to Guelph [city one hour away] for the weekend, I'll see you on Sunday" and just leaving
Your boyfriend is a real catch if he's okay with it. At least he can get to know your mom! :)

dude thats not cool. but i agree with #16 if he's cool with it, it;'ll be just a little less awkward for you
sounds like my life...thank god i now live in res...whenever im with someone i shouldn't or doing somehting i shouldn't...yeah...mom calls...uh hey man...me? oh i'm studying...

Hahahaha your mom is awesome
If you're going yourself, that either means you are old enough to drive or there's good public transportation where you are. If you're old enough to drive, she's being a bit overbearing but otherwise I can understand why she wouldn't want to let you out alone - it's for your safety and to protect you from your own naivete, which when you have kids of your own you will come to appreciate.
i agree with 12 you need to be more accurate in your wording of the request because she did let you go to the movie alone, you never asked to see the movie alone
Stop with the bullshit 21. No one could possibly misunderstand what she meant when she said "go to the movies alone" unless they chose to.
Your mom is a controlling liar. Even if you are 13 and not old enough to even have a boyfriend, it's not cool to lie to your kids!
dont worry about it. i had to move out because i couldnt be with my gf of 2 years and im 16. if your bf is ok with it, hes a keeper for sure...were still together and going strong.
keep your head up
#27 - On 03/20/2009 at 12:32pm by patty_gunner
ouch that sucks
and everyone who is telling her to lie, that could backfire if her mom is going to follow her everywhere she goes
#29 - On 03/20/2009 at 2:33pm by frozen_heart
lol you'll get through this. eventually, she'll learn that you're growing up and let you go. but it might be a while until you get to that point. it's not you that she doesnt trust, its probably the other guys out there that she's just trying to protect you from. she has your best interest in mind, even though it seems really annoying right now.
#30 - On 03/20/2009 at 2:40pm by shehzeenahmed
If you're thirteen or under, I can see why she would do that.
Otherwise... FYL.
#31 - On 03/20/2009 at 4:15pm by x3_LaLa_3x
Amen #10. Nothing wrong with a little white lie. But seriously, even if she's 13 that just sucks
#32 - On 03/20/2009 at 4:20pm by iamspartacus2
If this mother is so ridiculously protective how come that lil slut is already on boyfriend number 2?! You can't go to the movies alone, but you're free to have as many romantic relationships with boys as you like...... Makes sense right?
#33 - On 03/20/2009 at 4:24pm by CherryPieHole
I have a mom like that. You just have to lie next time. Say you're going to a girlfriend's house and she won't follow you.
My mom was so overprotective, and I am a guy, so I feel your pain. She is just starting to let me live my own life since I am now 18. I am sure the OP's mom will chill out in the future like my mom did.
#37 - On 03/20/2009 at 6:59pm by KyleOkposofan
Omg... If you were over age 16 this would be soooo funnny.
#41 - On 03/20/2009 at 8:31pm by heyitsmegxx
wow, id die. Just pretend to kill yourself tommorow (take some pills out of the medicine cabinet, spill them over the floor b4 ur parents get up, and lie there in the bathroom until they find you). THAT will give you your revenge lol
#43 - On 03/20/2009 at 8:54pm by fishrfine75
Heh, that sucks, but hopefully you're still young. If you're over 18 though, then you need to say something to your mother or just start doing your own thing without telling her.
To an extent, sometimes parents never really leave you alone. I'm 20 and so long as I still live with my mother she's going to ask me where I'm going and who I'm going to be with and about when to expect me home.
#45 - On 03/20/2009 at 9:14pm by TheNameless
yea, this one just sucks. i bet you wasted the 'opportunity' on a terrible movie, too. one only little kids would like.
like.... 'Hotel for Dogs.'
#48 - On 03/21/2009 at 4:57pm by TokyoSquid
wow, that's embarrasssing :(
my older brother STALKED me on my first date...most humiliating night of my life -_-
#49 - On 03/21/2009 at 11:43pm by linacool15
im sorryy !
my mom is just like that so i know it totally suckks
#50 - On 03/22/2009 at 3:56pm by feliciaxoxo94
awe, well I hope you're not to old. If you are over 13 tell your mom that it's time she let you grow up a little and that you love her but she's gotta trust she raised you right.
#55 - On 05/02/2009 at 5:54pm by cheapshoes13
Ouch. That must have seemed like the longest movie EVER.
#56 - On 05/02/2009 at 9:03pm by CaptainDude86
If she's anything like my mom, she was probably there to make sure that you were actually going to be where you said you were going to be and at the time you said you would.
But look at it this way, since you were doing what you said you were, she'll know she can trust you and hopefully not be there at your next date!
: )
Well at least u can go out with someone. My parents r asians that won't let me date. If I got caught I would get the shit beat out of me. But that sad to have that happen in front of ur NEW boyfriend. I would rather not date than let that happen to me too.
#61 - On 06/14/2009 at 6:06pm by AsianHere
Dude i feel your pain!
my mom and sister are soo over protective of me.
they also make me give them numbers and names of those who im hanging out with. ive never stept foot in a guys house..that they know of...
Also!! they wont let me sleep over at my dads house! cuz its my dad and 3 brothers that live there, thats it.
I tried going to the moives with my gf once. She brought her mom and her sister. Then again I relized that this is the girl that broke up with me because I wanted to kiss her after going out with her for a year. I can't beloved she beat me to it.
Really sorry for you though. That really sucks when in it happens.
YDI for tryin to be a slut. Yur mom <3's u and yu tried to ditch her. I hope yur dog gets hit by a car bitch.
