Seriously my father is like OVERover protective. It's starting to get ridiculous. Honestly I asked to go to my guy friend's place to do a project (keep in mind that there's parental supervision) and hes like no because I'm a girl? I tried explaining to him that it was more convenient for everyone to go to his place to do the project and that if I didn't go there to do the project, I'd fail. His wonderful reply "Then fail, I don't care." Also it's really hard for everyone to come to my place because it's not an ideal place to work. :| Even my mother can't talk sense in to him. This seriously just makes me so furious! I've never done anything to destroy his trust, ever. Even compromising doesn't work. Wth. [sorry a little rant there]
i feel a little bit of your pain. and if your dad is anything like my mom, there's really nothing you can do. :/
I'm guessing your mother is like my father, always has to be their way even if their wrong, never listen to anyone else.
