My dad's stupid rule!?

Question

I just posted the question, but my avatar shows as a boy and won't let me change it to a girl! I am a girl! Sorry about that!

I really don't get along with girls as much as I do boys. My dad is never home. So he buys me everything! I guess he feels guilty that he's never there since my mom passed away. I don't need all the stuff I have, nor do I want it.

But anyway, he has this stupid rule! No boys over when he isn't home. Only one exception to that rule. My best friend Cameron. But Cameron is more like a brother to me, and he is over all the time.

But I don't get along with a lot of girls because they are all about the things my dad buys me! So I mostly have boy friends. Because boys aren't about the stuff I have. But no one is allowed over! And since my dad is never home the only person over is Cameron!

Any advice about how I can change my dad's mind? He should be home for dinner tonight. Unless his meeting goes on longer than he expected. What should I say to try and change his mind?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Yeah, really stupid idea. When there's nobody home you shouldn't have anyone over. Not to say Cameron is bad, but you might befriend someone else who is bad and when you're home alone, bad things could happen to you. He's watching out for you!

Answer 2

Your dad is just trying to protect you. He knows how guys think. Trust me even if you think all of these guys are your friends and true some of them probably do have good intensions, there are probably a few with not so good ones. Your dad has ur best interest in mind. If anything I would talk to him about him not spendingmore time with you. It sounds like that might be more of where the problem lays.

Answer 3

Young lady, your father knows a WHOLE lot more about life than you do. It sounds like he knows what he's doing (except for allowing Cameron in your home when he's not around - I'd put my foot down to him, too).

If you think you know more about boys and birds and bees than your father, you're a very silly girl.

Obey your father and do so with a good attitude; he's spending his life taking care of you, after all.

Answer 4

How old are you??

Try going to other peoples houses. You don't have to be home all the time.  

Answer 5

There is no way to change a Dad's mind about that.

Dad's are just like that, you're his baby girl.

And just because you can't have boys over doesn't mean that you can't go to their house! :)

Find ways around it.

You're a smart girl.

Answer 6

i dont think anything is going to change a dads mind about having boys over at the house. its not a good idea anyway...trust me.

Answer 7

If your old enough I think your Dad should start to have more trust in you. Why not explain this to ur Dad? Tell him u get along better with boys, and its a bit sterotype 2 not have male mates. Tell your Dad that you promise 2 b gud nd that u feel lonley on your own, and remember 2 explain ur feelings. Good luck!! Lol :)

Answer 8

im not gurenteeing a yes, but maybe if your dad meets them he'll change his mind and see their just friends like Cameron.

                

Answer 9

If you don't want a confrontation, just use the easy loophole he has provided you with - go to Cameron's house and have him invite the rest of the guys over. I'm assuming you don't have many more years until you're a major, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem to humor your dad's fears for a while.

Answer 10

You aren't going to change his mind no matter what you say.  I know that isn't what you wanted to hear, but he knows how boys can be and how they can act inappropiately.  He is just trying to keep something from happening to you.  Maybe if you asked if Cameron and another boy could come over, or ask for a babysitter to be there, or you could ask if you could go to their house.  Good luck.

Answer 11

Tell him whatqe you just wrote here. Tell him that you dont get along with many girls just because all the care about are your things and that you know all your friends (that are boys) are acctually your friends and not some freaks after your stuff. Then after explaining that ask him if he could change his mind about having boys over. Show him you are responsible. I understand why your dad is setting that rule but if he notices you being responsible and stuff then he might change his mind and you will get to hang out with friends at your house :)
