I'm a responsible girl. I don't lie to my parents about my whereabouts, my friends are dropping and failing out of school like flies and I go every day and do my best. I'm going to be doing something with my life. And I feel like I've already made the most "grown up" decision I could ever have made when I joined the military. So I think I'm old enough to spend a night at my boyfriend's house and come back in town the next morning.
I'm not going to his house to have sex. We haven't even had sex. Like I said, this will be one of the last times I have to see him. We're both going active duty. And he'll be back for a week of leave, I think, right before I go to boot camp. And when I get out of boot camp, I probably won't get to see him on my leave. And to make matters worse, I'm doing a seamen apprenticeship so I'll be on a boat for a while getting hands on training with all the jobs on the boat.
So I just want to sleep over my boyfriend's house before he leaves.
I haven't talked to my mom about sleeping over a guy's house while I've been 18. But I know she disapproved when I was 16 and 17 saying I was too young, even if they were just a friend. All of my friends are guys, so I never got to sleep out.
I know that I'm 18 and legally I can, but I'd feel much better about this if I could convince her, instead of just doing it. I respect her opinion and whatnot, but times have changed and I'm a good kid.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
