In Love. Happy. Full of life. Forever pink.

Re: how do i approach this?

If there is one parent that you feel more comfortable discussing your life with, or that is more easy-going with you, then tell them first. There is a good chance that this is your mum as dads are often a bit weird about their daughters dating.

As for how you should tell them, I can't tell you EXACTLY what to say as only YOU completely understand your relationship with your parents, but don't say it in the middle of an arguement because theywon't have clear heads and will probably only be thinking of the negative implications you having a boyfriend may have. Tell them at a time when you are all happy, and are getting on quite well. If you are going to tell them both together, then a mealtime would be a good oppurtunity. Make sure that you sound happy and confident about what you are telling them, as they will be less likely to see it as a piece of bad news. If they aren't too happy about it, don't shout or argue, just hear them out and calmy say that you respect their oppinion, but it dosen't change how you feel.

 

Sorry if my advice dosen't fit your family circumstances, but I hope it helps :smileyhappy: GOOD LUCK!! :smileyvery-happy:
