So my boyfriend and I haven’t been dating for that long, only 4 months, we are also both 16. We were at my house the other day, sitting on the couch, and we were getting uncomfortable sitting up so we decided to lay down. Later after he left, my mom came up to me and although she personally didn’t have that much of a problem with it she said not to do it front of my dad, he wouldn’t like it or approve of it. Then a few days ago, I was at my boyfriends house and we always lay on the floor of his room propped up with pillows and watch TV. His grandma was there, and after I left he told me she said that while she’s there we’re not allowed to lay on the floor together. What is with that? What is the problem with laying by each other? How is it any different than sitting? It’s even weirder because both of our moms seem fine with it but apparently my dad would have a problem with it and his grandma didn’t like it at all. Like I said, I just don’t understand how laying together is any different than sitting really close together and why it is such a big deal. It sucks too because telling us not to do it is just going to make us sneaky about it and I don’t want to be going behind their backs but we aren’t going any farther than just cuddling so it’s just a bit frustrating. I’ve seen people my age whose parents let them and their boyfriend/girlfriend have sleepovers and we can’t even cuddle. Does anyone have an explanation for this? Thanks.
