Parents v.s. Skiing

Im having a problem. I live with my grandma, she is very insistent on knowing who i ski and hang out with (most of the time). I want to go to lake louise with a friend of mine who is 22 this weekend and will drive me. My grandma says i cant go unless she and my friend sit down for cofee and discuss safety precautions and shit. I think this is completely unfair because when i hang out with my friends from school she doesnt have to know them or meet their parents or anything. I also think its bullshit cuz i tell her about the people i ski with and she isnt bitchy about it but with this one person she is. What should I do?

Tell your friend not to smell like weed, and be polite, and have a chat with your grandma

Unless you're trying to hide something, it shouldn't be a problem at all. If there's really nothing wrong with your friend, why are you worried about it?

because i think its pointless for my friend to drive across calgary to sit down for 5 minutes to talk with my grandma with such high gas prices

Dont complain about it, your grandma is looking out for you. but i understand why your pissed. Look at it this way, you could be skiing your ass off if u have the talk if not you'll be sitting at home drinking coffe with just her!!

That really sucks. If you want do to thinks the cheating way, just say that your going with another friend, and have him goe with you guys. Then the 22 year old guy will pick you both up, and grandma will think hes a mommy/daddy.

Ya, just do it. When he comes to pick you up, be like, my grandma wants to drink coffee with you and talk about safety. She just cares about you, i don't think you should resent her for that.

dude i've been in your situation (about 6 years ago, but it still applies) my mom insisted that she sit down and talk with the guy i was goin with...we met at the BK lounge, had some breakfast, and everything was cool...people understand that parents tend to care about their children...just meet halfway like someone else said

You say your Grandmother doesn't worry about you hanging around with friends from school. Are you in high school? There is a big difference in age between high school and a 22 year old, so I can see why she wants to meet him. Also hanging around near your home and driving to Lake Louise are two entirely different things. You want your freedom but she is being responsible for your welfare. I agree that if this person can't be bothered to meet with your grandmother then they aren't a good friend. Also, you complain about the gas to drive across Calgary, what about the gas to get to the ski area?

oh god. that's crazy my parents are kinda like that. it's cuz your friend is probably older than you. natural instinct is to not trust your kids friends if they are older. it's just something parents do. she's probably just worried bout you. the good news is if you don't have to put up with that kind of stuff forever. then you can move out and do whatever the fuck you want.

You must drive a very turtle/hippo/rhino/brontosaurus/elephant/tank-like vehicle then if it costs you a 50 bill. You just need to figure out the right places to go. Esso is at like 79 now. Im pretty sure 79 cents/litre is a damn good price. It costs like $32.50 to fill up my car.

79 cents is very good price... it's ridiculous price. in europe we pay 1.60-2.00 USD per liter...
