his father like me more than his mother. my boyfriend's mother can,t agree with me about many habits during the daily life.
for example, i would like to wash my clothes right now when it is dirty, while she think i should wash several piece of clothes once and it is a waste of time to wash just one clothes.
so,what should i do to get her agreement?

This not a common issue. Usually mother who has a son often get jealous when their son is in a relationship. they only want their son's attention and the only woman of his son's life. Mother are meticulous when it comes to their son, they only want the best of their son/children. When you two end up together? it will be much worst. My advise is just do what she wants, take her advices and don't show any sign that you're irritated of her acts. Sooner or later you two become close friends.

I am in the same position as you, but him and I have been together for 11 years we broke up for 6 months though. But I am a afrikaans south african and he is from Scottish decent and trust me I am still not good enough even though we havea beautifull 2 year old daughter.I think the best is tio be polite, stand up for yourself it will be respected in the long run adn just bite the bullet. I have for so long it gets frustarting but there really is nothing you can do

Do you think nationality has something to do with this? Sometimes parents want's their children to marry the same nationality, like Chinese should marry chines, Islam to Islam and etc. What do you think? I hope differences will not an issue here.

a longer communication may make the thing better,but may be worse too.
i think if we don't live together, our relationship will be better. i will talk about this with my boy friend.
thankyou

People have different thoughs to their life. Some do agree some don't. For me i like hearing other opinion. I may learn something from them but i will also consider what i believe. Level the value of there opinion to the things they tell you should change and make adjustment to that. But just remember this, they will love you if you stay real to your self and not pretend to be what they want you to be. Just be a good better person and you'll do fine to your bf parents relationship.

What I want to tell you that it's not even a problem~~ It always takes a lot of efforts to make an older people accept a young person's mind.
