    How can I convince my mum to let my boyfriend stay for a week?
    So I have a long distance relationship going on with my boyfriend of 3 years.. Thing is I left Spain to move to the UK and we left it for a month because I thought it would be easier to get on but realised I hated not being with him.. While I wasn't with him I met up with this boy, nothing happened but I did kiss him, it didn't feel right and when I did, I'd pretend it was my ex (wich is my boyfriend now) I really want to see him and he wants to come see me.. But how do I get my mum to change her mind?

    You haven't even told us your age...
    But you sound very young from the way you write. So I wouldn't expect your mum to allow this at all. 'Convincing' parents is a long process involving more actions than words - you show how responsible you are as a young person growing to adulthood. You help around the house, you respect them, you don't argue and fight, you obey the rules of the home, and you do it showing appreciation for the roof over your head and the food on your plate.

    I'm 17 sorry I forgot to mention that :).. I'm trying really hard, I had 2 inductions yesterday, one for college and another for work, I go to college from 8:30-3 and then have to be at work from 3:40-9:30, on weekends it's just work but I'm pretty much working and studying most of the time

    I assume he would visit when you have neither school nor work for a whole week? Is that possible? Even if no school and you had to work, that's most of the evenings and weekends.
