My Mother vs my Boyfriend
Posted Jan 5, 2012 by anonymous | 491 views | 2 comments
My college graduation is next Friday. We're having a ceremony. My mother can't get along with my boyfriend, not because of him but because of his family, he comes from less than great people. (Big criminal reccords, drug addicts, alcoholics,), he's a good guy and has no shady past and is a really hard worker and we've been together almost two years. I can only invite one or the other to my graduation unless I want a shitstorm from my mom when I get home after because of how he looks (He's a skinhead), or because of his clothing ("Coulden't he have found better clothes to wear than jeans and a t-shirt and steel toe boots? Dick.") See, I could understand the clothing thing if this was a formal graduation. But its a hair school graduation. Not a cap and gown ceremony. WE'RE probably gonna be in jeans and t-shirts. I don't know what to do, shes determined to come, but I dunno if I want to sacrifice him being there, alot of the reason I finished school was because he convinced me to keep trying. Plus a bunch of my friends are taking me out to dinner so we can celebrate and I really want him there.

bf's come and go, your family will always be there for you when no one else is there. i can't tell you how many times my mom ended up being right about a guy. now i'm a mom and i can tell you that as a mom she only cares about your feelings and how she thinks this boy will end up hurting you even if he doesn't do it intentionally. don't exclude your mother from an event that makes her proud of you. you will regret it when that boy has come and gone and the only person who is there for you is your mother. trust me on this.

Don't go to the ceremony. Your purpose was to get the degree right? Well, you've accomplished that - the rest of all that drama is just plain rediculous, save yourself the crap and celebrate with your friends someother time, exclude both of the other two. If either one of them 'truly' cares for you, neither one of them would want to go. So dont be the putter they both pull on for their twisted dominant contest. Also, your mom doesn't sound as if she's all that herself, for real. Leave them both, go to hollywood and become a stylist for the stars.
