Still waiting to meet DDs boyfriend if 4 months

My DD has been seeing her boyfriend for approx 4 months. They are both in their 30s. I’m delighted for her and I hope it lasts.They recently visited my son and stayed over and apparently the BF is lovely. I’ve asked my daughter a few times if we can meet him , she said they want meet each others friends first. I feel hurt and a bit insulted that he/they think that meeting friends is more important than meeting mum and dad. Tell me honestly do you think I’m being unreasonable and if so what would you do.

How have you been when you've met her other boyfriends? I only ask because my mother was very disapproving of one I had when I was 16, so my solution was to never introduce her to another.
She met DH for the 1st time after we'd been married for 3 months Grin

That’s extreme

she wasn’t at your wedding 😢

DD had been with her BF for 10 months before I met him and nearly a year before DH met him. The second time DH met him, they announced that they were engaged.

YABU. Meeting friends first is perfectly normal, meeting parents carries a lot more pressure.

4 months is very early to meet the parents. Generally I think meeting someone's parents is a big statement of commitment so maybe they are not ready for that yet even if things are going well. Meeting friends and siblings is much more casual. When I was first dating my husband he met my friends and sister quite early on at drinks/ parties etc but I didn't introduce him to my parents until maybe a year in! I think I met his Mum around the 8 months mark. For context, I am very close to my parents and value their opinion greatly! Dont over think it OP xxx
