SHOULD you spend New Years Eve with your family or girlfriend/boyfriend?

[liniana265]

It's the day before New Years Eve... and my mother is driving me crazy... and I really would love to spend more time with my boyfriend... What should I do? I feel like New Years is for family... and I should try to spend more time with my family... Family meaning my mother for me since I'm an only child and she's a single parent...
Should I stay home with my mother? Or do you think it would be okay if I went and spent New Years Eve with my boyfriend?

Girlfriend/Boyfriend

Family

[ts416]

I would try to spend NYE with my family and friends, my parents are really protective as well. But I have become more protective of myself due to all relationships I have been through in the past. I know that you are an adult so your mom should accept any decisions about your life, as long as someone knows where you guys are going for NYE party. That way your mom and/or friends know where you are going.

Choose Christmas for the family

New years eave for the gf/bf

Unless your culture says do New Years Eve with family.

[SongBird3]

Normally I would say do both. But how long have you and your boyfriend been dating?
How much does NYE mean to your mom? How much does it mean to ur bf?

[liniana265]

Funny thing is... We just became official yesterday.
My mom is a single mom and I'm an only child. Thought I should spend it with my mom since she doesn't have anyone else to spend it with...

[SongBird3]

You JUST started dating. Than choose mom!
You have a bunch of time later to spend with him

[daydreammarie]

Invite your boyfriend over and have the new year with both of them. That way you all can start your new year on a good note and not spend it alone.

[yasii]

You're mom shouldn't spend new years eve alone. You could invite your boyfriend to whatever you and your mom are doing

[CherryRoseChampange]

Both? Try to split time. Or hang with family one day and you gf/bf the next

[StephenCF]

Well there’s only one day of New Years Eve which is what the question specifies, so it’s a matter of who should get the other day you suggested

[CherryRoseChampange]

Well I guess I think of it like Christmas. Who gets Eve And who gets Christmas day. They're both equivalent to me so I guess I don't care that much. Who do you like more? Choose them I guess.

[StephenCF]

Having them both would be ideal, but if I had to pick, it would be the partner. My mom is important of course, but she’s social anyway so she can handle being without me on such nights as she’s always with friends

[CherryRoseChampange]

That and New Years always seemed more like a let's party holiday. So your SO would be more fit anyway now that I think about it. I'd probably preplan Christmas with the family and New Year's with my partner.

[StephenCF]

That would make more sense anyway, a better balance

[CherryRoseChampange]

I agree 😊

[StephenCF]

Obviously you would, you made the point about it, lol. You agreed with my agreement with you 😜

[CherryRoseChampange]

I was agreeing with the "better balance" part haha. But fair point

[StephenCF]

I agree with your agreement with my agreement

[CherryRoseChampange]

😂😂😂 that just gave me life. Wish I could like your comment on my comment

[StephenCF]

No need when you can say you like it with your words. You know, the non-lazy way 😉

[CherryRoseChampange]

Oh come on it's not lazy!! I think 😅😅😅 I don't know I feel like saying you like someone's comment a the time is overboard. I like the like buttons on stuff. It's a subtle way of doing things. Or lazy depending on how you look at it I guess💀💀💀

[BuffaloChickenWrap]

Spend it with your mother because she won't always be around it is a moment to be cherished and you will look back someday and feel like you did the right thing it would really mean a lot to her to have you there don't be selfish you should always put family first

[PeachJuice]

Depends on how long you've known your boyfriend/girlfriend and how close you actually are with your family. If it was me, I would prefer to spend it with my mom. Not saying my boyfriend isn't important, but my mom kind of comes first.

[SecretYuna]

I prefer family but for some people they are closer to their friends or partners more than the family

[Saurav11]

Stupid dumb idiot don't even think for second n spend new year with ur mom. boyfriend will come n go. But ur mom will stay with u even at ur worst. So Dumbass spend new year with mom.

[AtomicCheesing]

My mom left us 13 years ago. My girlfriend is far more reliable

[Pink2000]

I’m honestly tired of spending New Years with my family. However, I’m thankful I even have the opportunity to.

[truthbeknown]

My parents are in bed by 11. Total drag on NYE. I pick friends. LOL!

[John_Doesnt]

You should spend it alone in San Diego, jacking it.

[StephenCF]

Share it with your partner, at least for the midnight kiss. Either that or spend it with all parties, or just the family should the partner /friends be unavailable

[Wolframium]

Partner, not family.
But I'll spend it alone, in calm, quiet environment. It's my only option and I'm fine with that.

[smg99]

Do both in the day with family have a dinner and head out why not?

[DrHonesty]

Neither. Go to the club, get wasted, find a handful of hot people and take them all to someone's place and have a new year's eve orgy 🍆💦

[Prof_Don]

Totally depends on which one you’ve seen less of over the past few months.

[unlovedguy]

I don't have a girlfriend so I spend it with my family always.

[LegendaryIcon]

As you get older, you're expected to find your s. o. as your parents will no longer be required to monetarily support you, once you turn 18

[megaman242]

You only have two option when there are several options. Mine is that I'm going to spend it with some friends

[Anonymous]

In some states you can spend NYE with your boyfriend AND your cousin and only have to worry about reservations for 2!

[Kelly1979]

Your partner Day with Family New Years If about the party.

[Anonymous]

my parents are spending it with each other, and their friends. its all in who you WANT to hang out with, not who you think you SHOULD

[ivanhunterjo]

your family as you only have one family. Relationships come and go

[Girly1710]

I think you could do both! All hang out together.

[liniana265]

Noooooo... My mom is very posessive and doens't like me dating anyone. If she even finds out I have a boyfriend... she will rip him apart.

[BuffaloChickenWrap]

Well you need to work on that spend NYE with your mom but at the same time you need to tell her she needs to stop being controllign you are 28
