It was the first time that my son met the parents of her girlfriend, that was during the dinner for her birthday last September 13.
Though the girl told my son to invite us too, he did not tell us, maybe he was ashamed or it will be quite awkward for him for us to be around.
He gave a bottle of red wine for the girls' father, and my son said the father smiled a lot upon accepting it. My son was advised by his girlfriend what gift to give his father.
So when our son came home, I asked if he passed the "test" and he said yes, he thought he made it!
Do you also care if the parents of your son or daughter's girlfriend/boyfriend approve of him/her? Or had you experienced such a "nervous encounter?"

I was the same way when it came to my son and his now wife but her family loved him instantly. They couldn't say enough good things about him. It made me feel good. They are married now and he is very close to her family. It is a good feeling. I am glad your son passed the best with the parents. You obviously raised a fine young man.

Thanks,my friend. We are so proud of our children when other people appreciate them for their good character. So nice to know your son had it too, you also raised him well.

Wow I didn't think this even exist to this day? My mom was so against my siblings girlfriends, eventually after they settled with them, she eventually accepts them.

Yes, parents now realise that it is important for them to befriend their son's or daughter's girlfriends so they would know them better.

Maybe because she wanted my son to pass the test!

Your son will experience the same when he becomes a teenager or older.

how wonderful such went well. i'm certain that perhaps he thought y'all might be a tad uncomfy meetin' the folks without him doin' such himself yet. glad 't went so well.
i think relationships 're best if'n there's approval from all sides - less stress'n the couple.

It so important that both parties like/appreciate each other; the relationship will go strong.

That's a wonderful development! 
Well done!
I would be nervous wreck too for my child in such situation. It is good for their future if they do get along.

Yes, parents are usually like that, they always wanted their children be appreciated by other people.
