At what age did you stop asking your parents

I haven't asked since my 16th birthday I just say 'I'm going [insert place]' I do ask when I should be in for because my mum is really paranoid about going sleep leaving the back gate open for me so I ask what time to be in at but for gigs and places I just tell that that I'm going if they say no i say you can't stop me and they realise they can't come to think of it I should tell them I'm going to a gig in just over a week

What gig are you going to ? I have one coming up soon but as far as they no "I'm going to London to watch a production "


wait, i haven't even told them that yet!

Deaf Havana in Manchester I've had my ticket since January, I don't know how it slipped my mind

I'm generally considered pretty mature for my age (now 17) and have pretty much always done what I wanted. If I want to go out i tell my mum im going. Last summer holidays (when I was 16) I went to America by myself for a month. In fairness it was to see my ex-gf (she wasn't an ex at the time, but its a long story) and so there wasn't the whole 'you'll be alone for a month' thing from my mum, but i pretty much told her I was going and she said 'oh okay'. When I was talking to my friends mum she said shed never let him go because he wasn't mature enough. So I think thats probably the key factor. But, getting back to your point, is your dad a reasonable type of guy? I'm guessing so as you persuaded him last year, I'd suggest you try and reason with him again mate. And if you can't reason with him go to your mum. And, if you cant reason with her then just go!

Good luck!!!

You seem like an absolute delight.

I was probably about 13 the last time my parents said I wasn't allowed to go somewhere, it wasn't like I wanted to go to Reading when I was 13, just as my friends were doing things I was always allowed to do them too. My Mum always seemed happy when I was doing things, I think she liked that I was becoming more independent and doing things on my own. They were a bit stricter on my sisters, my youngest sister wasn't allowed to get the train to Birmingham with a friend to go to a gig, she is 14. My other sister had to wait until she was 17 before she could go to V festitival on her own. She also had to wait until she was 18 to go on holiday abroad, even though I was allowed to go to the same place when I was 17.

I would argue it out with you Dad. If it is a concern about your safety then it is a bit more understandable but since you got on ok last time it probably isn't that. It sounds like he is a bit of a control freak who is annoyed that you have tried to take away his power to decide what you can and can't do.

Why? Because I asked for a lift now and then?
Who hasn't asked their parents for a lift. Especially when you live in such a small village that I lived in.
It's not like I haven't paid them back - since I have been driving I will give them a lift whenever they need it.
So yes, I was an absolute delight

You do sound like a delight ngl
Wish I could drive -.-

You don't wish you could drive. Well. It is handy.
But sometimes I feel like a taxi - not just to parents but to other family, friends, boyfriend.. ex boyfriend Ah well. haha

I'm always asking for lifts so I feel a bit bad now, but they are the ones always flashing around the fact they can drive so I guess I just take advantage
I'd happily drive around my best friend if needed, how long did it take you to pass? I'm planning on getting it done during the summer before uni!

YOLO
(no doubt this will get negged)
