I think I know the reason why. Your girlfriend didn't want her father to know even if it was the right thing to do. But you did the right thing because her parents might be able to help talk to both of you about those things. She must know that her dad would be very angry and disappointed at her.\nYou should tell her that if her dad didn't know then both of you would be confused and inexperienced. You would have a hard time when she would get pregnant. Unless she took a pill or you took a condom. Try working things out with her... Good luck.

did your dad get school & college out of the way before having a girl friend, I doubt it.  Tell him your not planning on getting married, just geing a teenager and having some fun.  Being a parent I can understand where he's coming from but I was also a teenager and know that if told no the teen will always do the opposite, I let me daughters do things but we compromise, in your case id say fine but just see him a couple of nights a week so you don't miss out on your studying, you've got to be allowed to live a little !

Make a video...telling the parent how much he loves and cares for their daughter...and share how he intends to care and support her....and then he can ask on the video.  Tell them he will call at a specific time to talk some more.....But that way they can at least see what they are getting.... :)

I personally would tell him that it's not the best idea to lament over the old gf with the new one too much.  It would make me feel as if he was measuring me against her to qualify me.  BUT, you can offer to talk about her with him in context if he just needs to express stuff.

i know it may be awkward, but i have an overprotective father too and  just talk to him. do not get defensive though. you could say something like "dad i know you're worried about me, and i really appreciate you looking out for me, but i need you to trust me. i know you might be worried that i'll be pressured into doing something i don't want to or i'm not ready for and i can tell you right now that will not happen." you just really need to open up to him and more importantly, listen to what he has to say. ask him why he seems worried. if you havent already, invite the guy over to have dinner with your parents. if he has just been coming over and hasn't sat down with them, they would probably be a little suspicious. make sure he brings flowers or something to eat, parents love that!! good luck!!

Well, the father seem's to be very possesive and overly protect of his daughter. I'm not quite sure if she thinks your the best thing that ever came into her life because I think she is trying to find a way to get the hell out her fathers life.  If you like (love) this girl lot, I would say that you will have to have alot of patients before things get better for the both of you.  As far as the cusing goes, I would speek to the father and explain that it is disrespectful to treat you in that mannor.  Sometimes you have to stand up for your rights, and sometimes the other person will respect you.  After all, the father does know the difference between right and wrong. He just might respect you more later on if you talk to him.  What ever happens, Good-Luck...   Dr Checko...   (Nickname)

I would tell him what is going on, but ask him not to say you are the one who told him. To have him kind of "spy" on the situation when he is around and for him to see his g/f not caring for the kids and being on the computer all the time. This is not healthy for the kids. No one should leave a 2 & 4 year old child outside alone! No matter where you live. I think you would be doing the right thing by telling him. Personally, I know I would tell him, if it was me.\nGood luck.

depending on how old u r and even still lol no matter how old u r ur dad cares and no one is good enough for his little girl....u seem pretty close though so sit him down and tell him that u r growing up and he has taught u to be sensible and u wont do anything silly...as much as he tries to be a mate to u he still has his daddy instincts to him it was only the other day u were running round in nappies and running to him when u fell over ...its kinda hard for him to accept that he cant catch u when u fall and he cant always just kiss the wound better and put a plaster on it...its totally different he has to adapt as well u just have to persuade him that he has brought u up to be sensible and responsible and u will not do anything till u r ready......take it easy on him even if it is hard on u he is learning to and it is pretty heart breaking to know his little girl is growing up lol but he still has to learn and ur the only one to teach him despite his tantrums....lol do u feel older than him yet??because now ur the teacher??

It is kind of wierd that he is living with his parents in his late 30s to start off. Walking around and leaving the door open is definately wierd and you are not overreacting at all. Tell him that even if he doesnt care, you do and that should matter to him if he truly cared about you.

Just let the relationship between you and him unfold naturally.  In due time you will know if you want to call him Dad or not.  It wouldnt be disrespectful if you never call him Dad considering he wasnt there for you all this time.  Just play it by ear and listen to your heart......you will know when and if you want to do this, but i am glad the two of you are working on a relationship

Try to be kind and understand that she loves your dad and wants to live a happy life.  She can be a great ally.  Being a step-parent can be horrifically difficult, she must really love your Dad. Ask her advice from time to time and really listen.  That does not mean that you have to take the advice, just that you value hearing her opinion.  It can really open up the relationship.  Take it easy, no need to rush.  If you rush, it is easy to make a misstep and get hurt feelings that can harm the relationship.

He knows that he is overweight and does not like it. I was overweight at one time. My mom would bring it up ( now i know its because she does care about me). I would get upset, cry and yell because i knew what she was saying was true. Sit down with your dad and try to tell him that you love him very much and that you are worried about his health. tell him that you want him to be around for his grandchildren. maybe you could say "hey dad i want to go for a walk, want to join me?" he prob wont take it so personally and he can get some exercise. Good luck Hun.

If you really want to get along with her, try showing her the same respect you'd like to receive from her.\n\nIf you are trying to get on her good side, just to get over on her, you are just going to make it harder for her to trust your sincerity later on. \n\nHave you thought how this is affecting your dad. He loves you and his wife. What's he supposed to do stuck in the middle.

seems to be you belong to an arabic country in the middle east..\n\nanyway i dont advise you to ask the father before the girl... if she is your gf for long enough time -days even- ask her and if she replied to you you have to talk to my father then call him..\n\nabout age.. if you can take care about your self and have your own accomodations.. then go ahead regardless how old you are..

Tell yur mom that it is between her and your father, and you are not interested in getting involved.  If she gives you heck, tell her that you are just a kid, and this is an adult situation.  If she gives you even more heck, get on the phone and tell your dad that he is a wimp for not talking to your mom.  Let them know you don't want to get involved, and they won't involve you.
