Suppose you were hanging out with your new boyfriend and his mother and pre-teen sisters. Suppose the mom takes all to see the father on a jobsite where he is working. The father is a self employed contractor that does most of his work himself and also gets the family to help out from time to time. Now suppose the father asks your new boyfriend to do some work. Here's the question: Which would you prefer to see and have happen: Your boyfriend to work (with resentment showing), or your boyfriend to work (with eager willingness) or your boyfriend to take a stand and say he's spending time with you and not working today?

Hmm...it'd be nice to see him take part in his family, but I'd rather have him do the last choice- take a stand and say he's spending time w/ me. Of course, he'd have 2 be respectful in front of his parents. Something like, "Dad- I gotta spend time w/ my girl today. I had plans w/ her and hate to blow it. I'll be happy to do the work some other time, if you don't mind." Perfect!

if he like you, really likes you, he will try to make an impression on your family to secure another visit with you in the future.
to answer your question:
he better work with eager willingness

i would prefer him to work with willingness because that way i know whether or not he is a hardworking independent man or if he still depends on his parents for everything.

I always say "Family First"...Plus if you intend to have a familt with him, you know what lengths he's will to go for your family.
