ok, i started seeing this great girl about 6 weeks ago. we have been getting along really good. she is going to look at a house and invited me to come along. her mother and her daughter are BOTH going to be there. i have never met them before! are there any opinions out there about that? like is meeting her mom and daughter a huge thing?

For some people it is, for some it isn't. Some people are really laidback and open and whatever and it's really not a big deal. Other people think it's a big deal - it's really important and a big step to meet the parents/children.

 

In general, I would think meeting her daughter is a big deal.

 

But, who knows.

 

It's only been six weeks....

 

How do you feel about it?

To me, having someone meet my parents is a huge deal. BUT, that's because I'm a fairly private person, I hate my parents (my mom) knowing all my business. So I only introduce people that I'm very serious about to my parents. Otherwise, if I introduced my mom to every guy I dated for only 6 weeks she'd be constantly asking what's up with so-and-so?, is it serious?, when are you getting married? why hasn't he proposed yet? When are you having babies? And then: oh you broke up? Why? And on and on and on incessantly. And of course there's the comments like "I'm never going to be a grandmother" and other such obnoxious behavior.

 

If my mom wasn't like that, I wouldn't have a problem introducing her to any and every bf or guy I was dating or hanging out with.

 

So my point is, don't read too much into it. It could mean something, and it could not.

Thanks for the responses everyone.

She seems to be pretty tight with her mom. She has been single for awhile. 2 months ago she told me she doesn’t introduce any one to her daughter right away, like a year. so I was surprised that she is cool with it this soon. don’t get me wrong, I think its cool also. Im just nervous a little. Im thinking there is a mom test i have to pass, ya know??
