How to ask my parents if I can move in with my boyfriend?

I am 19 years old and I'm in the best relationship. My parents dont dislike my boyfriend , they actually like him. I go to a private college, I work part time and I'm never home. I live with my parents. My older sister tried to move to her own apt when she was 19 but my mom didnt approve and stopped speaking to her until my sister decided to continue living at her dorm room. My dad didnt have any problems with it. She is now 26 years old and still lives here with her 2 children. My mom doesnt have a problem with that, my dad does. My older brother moved out when he was 20 years old without any problems. I normally get home at 3 AM. My parents are not that strict. My boyfriend asked me to move in, I dont even have to pay rent! It's much closer to my school and my job. I'm just not sure how to ask my parents.

you're 19, you don't need to ask your parents. you're an adult you can do whatever you want. it's nice to have their blessing, but they can't make decisions for you. if they're not going to support you then it's their loss.

You are 19, you can make this choice whether your parents agree or not.

Becos your sister was their 1st child and the 1st to ask this stuff, unfortunetly the oldest child cops all the yelling and over-protectiveness. (I know becos im the oldest and my parents were strict on me but my younger bro gets away with murder)
So they were hard on your sister. Plus she is a female, parents re-act differently to their daughters then their sons. So your bro got the good end of the stick.

But its up to you now, and tell them your choice, make sure you let them know how much more convenient this would be for you to live with him while you are telling them and they may take it good. Be gentle with your words tho.

well you are 19 years old. They should be able to understand, but don't move in with him if your not like serious cause it wont work, do it for the right reasons. But just be like mom dad my boyfriend has given me an offer that I like, its closer to things and if you really cared you would want whats best for me. ) good luck hun.
