They have met me once or twice when I picked her up for youth group before
we got real serious, and any other information was supplied by their son,
who despises me. Goes out of his way to insult me in hall.. :-\. I have
been advised to write a letter asking in a VERY pilite manner what's up?

My parents will NOT let me drive illegally, they are not fibbing on my
friving record for them to get me out of rides and stuff. At the time the
report was filed (Apr-01), I was IN drivers ed, and I didnt even know how to
drive a stick at the time, which means I couldn;'t drive any of my parent's
cars... And what is anunciates? I don't know if I have anything in common.
Might ask GF next time I see her.

Okay. When would be a good time to do this? Out of the blue? call and ask first?

Hmmm, good point. Maybe the Mother Hen theory? In that my girlfriends mother
died, her dad abandoned them, and maybe her guardian is being overprotective...

Read above.

Like what? I said in the upper section that they met me once or twice, and
all other information is fed by their son, who could be considered a
"druggie" in school slang, and I am anti-drug in an active way. Maybe he fed
information throguh them because I have different viewpoints then him?
> That's pretty invasive. Sounds like bad parenting to me.
Ick. Don't wanna say "You're a bad parent!"
