Okay, here we go.

I have made MANY threads about my boyfriend and his mother and all the drama.

So here's another one........

Here a short recap-

His brother is seriously a word I don't think I could say on here. He sucks!
He's 19. Still lives at home. He works off shore- and according to him..
"I'm gonna make more money doing this than you ever will going to college and getting a real job", talking to Garrett.

He always gets pissed at his parents and runs away. His parents totally freak out and search alllllll night for him. He's 19 for God's sake.

He drinks.. alot. He got into an 'accident' a year and a half ago.. (he and his friend was driving drunk one night and hit and killed two little boys on a fourhweeler.)

He's always raising hell and just pissing them off. But you know they love him and treat him like he's just the best thing in the whole world!

Garrett, straight A student. Starts high school football and baseball. Very active in church. Doesn't drink, doesn't go out partying every weekend. (has a loving girlfriend, I might add) ;). He seriously is what I'd call the perfect child. lol.

His parents treat him like craaaaaapppp! They're always yelling at him for only God knows what.

So tonight, I get on the phone with him and he says..

"baby I got some bad news.."
"uhmm okay"
"my parents are making me switch rooms w/ my brother.. so we can only talk on the phone for like 10 minutes every night.. if even that much.."

They live in a two bedroom house, and since his brother works off shore and is gone most of the month Garrett got the room and his brother sleeps in the sunroom (that they made into his room).

This room, is sooo small. Its really like in the middle of the house. It has two huge doorways going to the living room and the kitchen. Not doors! DOORWAYS.

According to his parents;

"Your brother works hard Garrett, he needs to space! He needs the bigger room."

"Mom seriously? He doesnt even live here!"

"Garrett, don't argue back! Go start packing up your stuff and bringing it to the other room now!"


A sixteen year old boy needs privacy! He needs a room to himself.

When we were on the phone. His brother walks in and says,

"wow, I mean I guess I kinda knew before.. but now I'm sure.. I can ask for ANYTHING and get it at the snap of my finger"

:scared1:

So if Garrett tries to argue or say anything back his parents will take his phone and since he has that lovely girlfriend I mentioned earlier... he's not going to do that.

I just hate knowing he's going through so much crap like this. it sucks. He just keeps telling himself.. "just a year and a half and I'm OUT!"

I really think he's going to turn into one of those college kids that finally leave home and rebel against his parents. I think he's going to cut hem off completely. And I DON'T want that to happen. But I don't blame him for getting so aggravated at them.

Maybe they (for whatever wacky reason) don't trust your boyfriend. Or they're afraid of losing their baby.
 
That's kinda what I was thinking with the loosing him part..

That maybe they just don't want him to turn out like his brother..

But if so, they're going at it the wrong way.
 
wooow his brother is a JERK!!!

like when he said "wow, I mean I guess I kinda knew before.. but now I'm sure.. I can ask for ANYTHING and get it at the snap of my finger"

what the heck? seriously? i feel so bad for garrett!
 

..but.. garrett is the BEST ?!
;)


but seriously, that is so stupid. i don't understand why his parents are acting like that. the older brother obviously brain washed the parents or something :/
 
I'm sorry for your boyfriend :(
That's ridiculous what he has to go through..

But I know what you mean about having boyfriend & his mother issues--
My boyfriend is 18 & a freshman in college, I'm 16, and he still has a 930 school night curfew. . .It gets so frustrating. His parents treat him like a baby and it's so annoying; but he's afraid to stand up to them. Ugh.

9:30? Seriously.

I'm always telling Garrett that I don't care how old Travis (his brother) is.. if he still lives at home then he still has to listen to his parents.

But in your case.. your boyfriend isn't going out drinking and partying all the time. He's actually getting an education. So he shouldn't have to have a curfew that early.

MY curfew is 11:30 lol. My sister turned 18, in the middle of her senior year.. and after her 18th birthday, she didn't have a curfew.

We're both responsible enough for our parents to trust us though. I was raised in a family where we was raised very well and we are trusted very well. I don't understand how some parents can't even give their child a chance to earn their trust.

Dead serious. It has gotten very old considering we've been dating for almost a year and five months.

His parents treat him like he's two. And like you said it's not like he's out drinking and stuff. My curfew is 12:30 on the weekends unless I call ahead and make pre-arrangments with my mom..but even then she's usually like be home whenever just be careful. I have more freedom than he does!! And he's a freaking adult! lol

Parents these days. . . :sad2::rotfl::rolleyes::upsidedow
