I have to somewhat agree with Jillian. My mom is sort of a happy medium: she's not my friend, but she's not an overbearing mother. My father on the other hand, I only wish he were as lenient. I am actually in fear of bothering with relationships partly because of how my family will react. I grew up with that fear, and though I have only had two relationships in my life they were practically a secret. My mom knew of my first one only because it was necessary that she knew, and she only knew of it at the last minute. At least you can speak with your mother openly and not worry that she'll act too rashly. I am in fear of opening up to my parents.
