So my parents don’t like my boyfriend, but for silly reasons. My boyfriend has been great to me. He works and pays the bills, doesn’t drink, doesn’t do drugs, takes care of his daughter and me. I am 17 weeks pregnant with our 1st child and he has been very supportive through all of it. My mom doesn’t like him because he was insecure, when we 1st started dating he had trust issues and we worked through them. My dad doesn’t like him because we asked him to do yard work (he does landscaping, and we both paid him) mostly because I wanted to help my dad out with some work and we both work a weird 2nd shift where we don’t get daylight time. After paying my dad and giving extra money, he says that my boyfriend is lazy and should have taken care of it. If he can’t rake leaves, he can’t do anything else. We both felt like that was a low blow. My dad doesn’t get a lot of work during the winter and since we paid him for a service I think he should of kept his thoughts to his self. Idk I have parents that have never really liked the way I live, even though I am 28 years old paying my own bills working a full time job, never did drugs, don’t drink, and for the most part never ask my parents for a thing. It’s so annoying that it’s impossible to make them happy. I want to be close with them, because I have never been close to them all my life. My dad has been in and out of my life, and my mom is pretty manipulative and try’s to control everything I do. Not kidding, she told me I can’t talk on a phone and walk up stairs because I will hurt myself and tried to take my phone.....I am 28!!! I can walk and chew gum as they say. I’m just frustrated and don’t know what to do with them. Ugh.... it feels like they won’t be close with my boyfriend and me anytime soon.
