When did you meet the parents?

[Junglejosephine]

Just curious really. I've been seeing someone for the past 3.5 months and I would like things to develop into a serious relationship. At what point would you expect to meet the family/parents?
I'd be comfortable with him meeting my mum and dad and sister.

Thank you.

I met DP in November, together since January, met his family in March and he met most of mine in April. A little quick I know but life's short!

My Dad said he only wanted to meet any boyfriends at the point that we wanted to get married 😂

I met all of DH family in 1 go at his great neices 1st birthday and this was 5 months after getting together

Pretty much the same for him meeting my family

After 2 weeks 😅

Met at the in Jan and went to a family BBQ at easter so about 3 months

About 3 days in but that’s because he lives with his mam for the time being as his dad unexpectedly passed away last year and he worries about her, which is understandable.

Do whatever feels right for you, there is no right or wrong time.

I met my DH the week before our wedding and he met my mum 10 minutes before we married. I don't think meeting parents have any bearing on the seriousness of your relationship tbh, your dating him not his mum and dad.

Met my DH parents! Sorry could really do with an edit button

I think we'd been together properly around 6 months but we're seeing each other and dating a few months prior to that. We also knew each other via work quite well and were friends before we started dating.

I met his parents after he proposed which was about 3 months after I met him. I’ll never forget it to this day. His mother told me she would be giving me cookery lessons for “proper training” and told DH to drop me off on Sundays for this purpose (they are from a certain Middle East country and this is what happens apparently).

We only met each other''s families after we were married! (In fairness, we eloped just a few weeks after getting together so there wasn't a great deal of time beforehand).

About 4 months after getting together, at his dad's birthday party. I had just found out I was pregnant and DH announced it to everyone- I was meeting all of his family except one brother and his kids at the same time so it was a bit of a baptism of fire!
