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

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.

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.

This would be funnier if the OP was like 25.

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.
