She Agreed To Come Home To Babysit For Her Younger Siblings, And Then Her Mom Said Her Boyfriend Wasn’t Allowed To Sleep Over With Her At Their House, Even Though She Lives With Him
Were your parents strict about letting your boyfriend or girlfriend sleep over when you lived with them? It’s something many young people have to deal with.
One woman was shocked when her mom said her boyfriend, who she lives with, was not allowed to sleep over at their house while they watched her younger siblings.
She’s 22 years old and the eldest of six kids. She’s a student and currently lives with her boyfriend.
Recently, her parents had to take a last-minute trip to visit relatives abroad and asked if she could look after her younger siblings at their house for a week.
She was fine with watching her siblings, but there was one day during the week when she had to take a class in another city and wouldn’t be home all day. Thankfully, her boyfriend kindly volunteered to watch her siblings since he had that day off.
Her mom was very thankful to hear her boyfriend could help, and she figured all was settled. That is, until she had to explain their sleeping arrangement.
On the day her boyfriend babysits, she’ll be gone from around 6:30 am to 7:00 pm, so she figured her boyfriend would sleep over with her at her parent’s house the night before and stay over that night too.
When she shared this plan with her mom, her mom began to freak out. Her mom asked where her boyfriend would be sleeping, and she explained it would be with her on their pull-out couch in the living room. Then, her mom angrily responded that he couldn’t sleep in bed with her under her roof.
This was very surprising for her.

When she and her boyfriend first started dating, and he first visited her parents, they did sleep in different rooms as a precaution because her parents didn’t know him yet.
Since then, her parents have warmed up to him and have been in the same house where they’ve slept in the same room.
Not to mention, they know she and her boyfriend live together now!
Additionally, she and her boyfriend stayed in the same Airbnb as her parents on a recent vacation. When her mom booked the Airbnb, she ensured there was a bedroom for her and her boyfriend to sleep in together. Yet when it came to sleeping together at her parent’s house, her mom was not having it.
Her mom expected her boyfriend to commute back and forth on the day he babysat, which meant he would’ve had to get on a bus that morning around 5:00 am and not get home until around 10:00 pm.
“That is a ridiculously long day and far too big an expectation for someone who is doing you a favor,” she said.
“I advised my mom as such and reminded her about the Airbnb and the fact that we already live together.”
However, her mom still wasn’t having it.
She also mentioned to her mom that because the pull-out bed was in the living room where there were no doors, there was no way she and her boyfriend would do anything “scandalous.” She began insisting that her boyfriend be allowed to sleep over.
For a few days, her mom texted her, told her she was being selfish, and said she’d have to stay behind to watch the kids instead of going on the trip with her dad.
It took calling her dad and having a serious chat to finally convince her mom that her boyfriend could sleep over with her.
Have you ever had this kind of argument with your parents?
