A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, my boyfriend has helicopter parents. He offered to take me out on a date for Valentine's Day, but there's one condition: his mother has to be there the whole time. He's 17 years old. FML
Today, the guy I've been seeing for a few months told me he couldn't stay overnight because his mom would yell at him for not coming home. We're both 30 and I didn't know he still lived at home. FML

Today, my boyfriend stood me up. At dinner with his parents. FML
Today, I was having dinner with my boyfriend. We'd just got our food when my dad walks in, comes up to our table and says, "I didn't say you could leave, you're too young to be dating him", then drags me out of the restaurant. We are both 15, and it was my first date. FML
Today, after 4 days of avoiding me and screening his calls, my 24-year-old boyfriend sent his mother to break up with me on his behalf. FML

Not following moms orders can be scary no matter what age you are.

Ask his mom if he could come out and play.

You might be dodging a bullet here.

Does he live with his parents? If so, he may have household obligations that he should fulfill. Was there a family event, like a funeral or a dinner? Sometimes girlfriends aren't invited, especially when they're in the "going out on dates" stage. If he's a mommy's boy who hasn't clipped the apron strings yet, you might want to find someone who's a bit more independent.

It could be possible. My friend is 21 and yet still needs her parents okay to go on a date with her boyfriend. They are very controlling...

His mom may have said no because he still has to pull his weight around the house. He might be 23, but even if he's working and living at home he still has responsibilities at home that if ya don't do you will get punished for it.

I hope you've parted ways? What's he going to do when planning his wedding? Schedule it a later date because his mom is busy that day a year out?
