Boy mom forces son's 17-year-old girlfriend of 2.5 years to do chores while she's at their house, sits between the couple on the couch while watching movies: 'I'm pretty sure she adores me!!'

I am so grateful that my parents were incredibly hands-off with my high school relationships. That might be because I intentionally hid 99% of my dating life from my parents, as I didn't want them to take my ability to date away from me. However, I'll give credit where credit is due. They never forbade me from going to a suspicious sleepover or insisted that they come along with me on dates. At the time, I wished they were a little more invested in my dating life, but in hindsight, I had a pretty swell arrangement going. 

I'd take a mom who doesn't care who I'm going to prom with over a mom who is obsessed with the person I'm dating. Parents who are obsessed with their kid's boyfriend or girlfriend usually aren't obsessed because they think they're so swell. They have a complex about what their kid's dating means for their kid and them. It can spur a lot of anxiety about their kids growing up and not relying on them as much. They can also freak out about that ever-present thing that people do when they're boyfriend-girlfriend. No matter the cause of the neuroses, a parent shouldn't project it onto their kid and their boyfriend or girlfriend.
