Not knowing anything else about your situation, it's hard to offer any advice or perspective.

You say "The most we've done in front of my parents is given eachother a hello/goodbye kiss," but what's the most you've done NOT in front of your parents?

Far be it from me to condemn you or your parents when I know nothing about you, but it seems like you're not trying to even understand their perspective.

P'raps instead of asking a blogring what to do, you should talk to them honestly (but without anger or pent-up frustration) and see where they're coming from. Try to understand their perspective, and hope they reciprocate.

If they don't ... I don't know how old you are, or how long you plan to live at home, but until you're on your own, you're still a minor, and under their guardianship/rules ...

Anyway, I do hope you can get it worked out. Maybe there's a misunderstanding about what you're doing when you're alone ... maybe not. Could be plenty of things. Just try to hear it, and TRY to understand it from their POV.

Peace.

I agree with the posts made so far.  I also want to add, and you probably won't like it, that your parents are probably at least somewhat right.  People told me this when I was young and I didn't want to listen to it, and like others have said, I learned the hard way.  But parents often are on to something...they're not just being strict for the fun of it.  I'm sure there's a reason why they're treating you the way they are, and I'm sure they're only trying to look out for you.  I know you probably won't (I know I wouldn't have at your age) but take that into consideration.  And do talk to them (maturely, of course).  Tell them how you feel without placing blame on them and ask them how they feel.  Maybe you all can find a happy medium.

I really dislike when parents try and tell you what to do. I mean not to be middle school and say "UGH your trying to control my life !" but that's what they are doing. It's true they care about you and don't want you to get hurt. But you might want to tell them that the only thing hurting you is them being like that.

I don't really know what it's like to have parents who do that, because mine have been pretty good and stay out of my business. They still watch out for me and tell me that we don't need to be doing certain things but they never tell me who or who I can't hang out with, etc.

How old are you?  Tell them "UP YOURS" and remind them they aren't allowed to run your life, nevermind your boyfriend's.

I recommend having a heart to heart with them. Think about what you want to say, even write it down maybe, then tell them you want to have a talk. Ask them for their perspective, and then talk to them about yours. Try to be as fair as possible. My parents don't act like that at all, but sometimes I've disagreed with things they've said/done, we talked about it openly and things got better.

I'm not siding with your parents, just in case it came off that way. I just think you'll probably regret it if you don't try.

I had the same problem earlier this year. I'm 20 years of age and when I was younger I had a unhealthy typical highschool relationship of 3 years. So i met this other boy about a year after my break up with the 3 years relationship and everything was amazing, we were such good friends and i felt really happy spending time with him. Because I've had an unhealthy relationship and know what the symptoms are, I knew that this relationship was really good for me. Obviously everyone has their ups and down and stuff that they have to work through. But in the beginning of the year my parents told me that they dissaproved of the relationship. I really want to honour my parents, but I also want to look after my heart and I knew this relationship was good for me and some of my parents advice were not. So I just went on with it. It made a lot of things awfully awkward but after a while it got better.

I wish you all the luck because I know how awkward it can get and how awful it is when you have parents that don't really support you in the relationship. Remember: You're parents want most of the time what is best for you, but sometimes they act out of stuff that happened in their own past and in that case their advice isn't always the best (But that's still not a reason to dishonour your parents by acting rude towards them), and then just listen to your heart. Sometimes you need to take a firm stand and stay with the decision you've made. Other times you have to submit to them. Try going to God about it. And finding inner peace.

So they're strict.  A lot of parents are.  And you know what?  They're generally right.  I dated a guy for four years until I realized what my mother was saying was true, that he was a nice boy and I needed to see someone else.  I was in high school. I am very glad I did in fact break up with him, because otherwise I would not have fully lived as I have thus far.  Don't sweat your parents trying to break up you and your "one and only."  If it's meant to be, it'll happen with or without your parents interference.  You'll probably only have to put up with it for a couple more years, anyway, unless you're *really* young. 

Best of luck

It sounds pretty tough.  It definitely gets better with age though.  How old are you?  Maybe having a heart-to-heart with your parents, and really explaining how you feel might help.

How much have you talked to them about privacy and the fact that you're growing up?  I don't know you personally, so I can't tell you what to say to them.  Try explaining how you're changing, and that having a boyfriend is part of it.  Maybe they'll at least listen.

Ten/eleven months isn't an absurdly long amount of time.  Maybe you should talk to them, let them in on your relationship and they won't be creeped out.

This also comes down to how old you both are, and where you are in your lives--individually, and as a couple.

My boyfriend and I are both 16 and we've been together for one year and (almost) ten months.  My parents were weird for the first five or so, but got over it.  They just nonchalantly tell us to behave and move on.

It'll get better, I'm sure.

Parents are usually concerned with who their children date, especially if they're under 18. But yours seem to be taking it too far; it's not okay for them to control your boyfriend's life. Like other people have said, it would be a good idea to sit down with them and try to have a rational discussion. 

Like a lot of people said, the answer really depends on your age.. if you're still in high school or even middle school, then yea, your parents are right. Yea, parents are strict, I have those too. You were fortunate to even be allowed to date. My parents created a "don't date until college" rule for me & my sister. While we disobeyed it, in hindsight, there was a lot of wisdom in their decision to set that rule. I wish I had honored my parents more by respecting that. Then maybe this relationship would have been my first.. but it's not that big of a deal since I've only been in two relationships.
If you're in college, that's another story.

That said, if you're finding that you disagree & find it difficult to understand your parents' reasoning in this decision, perhaps you should sit down & have a talk with them. Write down a few things you would like to get across to them & also write down some of your questions. When you talk, make sure you not let your emotions get in the way & remain calm.. that will make the talk go over well & help you gain the respect of your parents. It will allow your parents to see that you've matured & that perhaps they can reason with you like a fellow adult rather than parent to child. I can only offer you from what I've personally experienced. That said, I doubt it'd go over as well if you're still in middle school or high school.

The funny thing is, I wrote a blog about dating & respecting parents a while back.. you could go & look at the responses of those who commented on that entry if you're still looking for more perspectives & how to go about handling this. I wish you the best of luck~ :)
