Answer #1

HI, Never been in this situation but what I would do is play it cool. Don’t flip ANY attitude or they will use that against u. Be polite and real. express your opinions as an adult and try to be mature so they will be more likely to hear you out. I can’t imagine this being easy. IS he good to our mom? do they get along well? Because that really matters too. if you can tell your mom really adores this person then I would try hard to be my best self to ease things up, then if he is still being crazy then I would talk to my mom asap. Shes your mom. your happiness is her world. don’ t give the guy anything to worry about and he can’t get mad. If he overeacts then you know its a control issue. YOur mom should understand and be able to lay some guildlines down. she wants you to be happy too that is for sure. 5 minutes though…wow, that is a little intense! good luck.

Answer #2

first get a pen and paper and right down why u dont like him and make sure there good reasons that wud concern your mother,,,

nothing like he smells funni or you dont like his hair lol

explain to your mom that this man that isnt your father is YELLING at you as if he owned you and explain to her that this isnt right

Answer #3

Since you don’t know him that well, I don’t think you should claim that you don’t like him already. Give him some time, give him a chance.

Yeah, he shouldn’t have yelled at you, but he needs to learn from his mistakes.

Just politely be like to your mom “I don’t think (his name) is taking the right role here, it seems like hes trying to be a parent to me”.

I’m sure she will understand and hopefully talk to him about it.

Answer #4

yes you should give him time but what right did he have to yell at you? if your mother was worried then I could see him reacting but if he does this all the time then I would talk to your mother.
