In young age, mostly all must be having a boy friend or a girl friend. So have you ever talked on a phone with your partner in front of your mom or have the guts to do it? Well, i don't have guts to do it, though i have done it once but i made some problems.

Hi, leo2050. I have never talked to my boyfriend or husband on the phone before in front of my mom. My mom has been deceased for 25 years. But I have talked to my husband at my mother-in-law's home. I would go into the bedroom and call him then. I will not talk to him while she is around. I don't want her to hear my conversation with him. She can be very nosy when she wants to be. When I had boyfriend's when I was younger, I would never talk to them in front of my grandmother or aunts. I wanted my conversation to be private. I would go into another room and talk to my boyfriend then. If I do talk to them on the phone while someone else is around, I will make sure to keep my conversation limited to just plain talk.

These really depends on what you guys are talking about and how well you think you're boyfriend/girlfriend is accepted my your parents. You can't just say "I love you's" because that would really be disrespectful (sorry..) but there are times that parents think that you are blunting that out and making them think that you can already stand on your feet. Maybe because they are afraid that your relationship is getting serious and they tend to be concern about it especially if you're still studying. OR maybe because on their time they are not allowed to do those kind of stuff and not open minded about it. you know what it's like in the old days, they are very conservative... parents are experiencing hangovers with these stuff. lol. ^.^ as for me, when I was still single, I never talked to my ex's on the phone and let my parents hear it unless they already know the guy as my boyfriend. I never really introduced my boyfriends (formally as my boyfriend) to my parents up until me and my boyfriend are already serious with our relationship. sure, my parents meet guys who would formally court me but it's still good that you introduce them again as "BOYFRIEND" right? but.. even though i would let my parents hear us talk over the phone i'm still careful of what I'm saying, as a respect to them. ^.^

no problem with me, besides my family had already met my bf. he's like part of the family already, but even prior to that, it was ok. that is normal.

Well yes only i don't use her name. I can't talk freely as my mom wouldn't allow me to do that as she thinks we are too much. She just doesn't understand our relationship and makes it worse everytime i try telling her about my girlfriend. Sadly me and my gf split up about a couple of months ago and since then my mom takes very good care of me and she says that everything has happened for the best. But i try hard to get my girlfriend back.

Yes I can talk to my bf in front of my mom since my mom already met my bf, she and I had no problem with it. I rather talk to my bf private tho where we can talk about everything just our selves. But now everything is way open since my bf is now my husband:) ch33rs!
