he met this girl on MySpace & I met her last week, he's been at her house every night since they met. Now he wants me to meet her parents. Should I?
By the way my son is 17 (18 in Dec) & she is 16 (17 in Oct)

he's not ever really dated much before. I think it would be nice to just know what type of people they are.

Yes, why would you not want to?
Now...in today's society this is becoming more normal. It's like going to a popular hangout downtown to meet someone. Be glad she isn't a 40 year old guy ;)
Now I'm 24 and at 17 I wouldn't want my folks to be butting into my affairs...BUT HE WANTS YOU TO MEET THEM! This means he respects your opinion and want you to be a part of their lives. If you have your own my-space account you could check her out...I wouldn't worry about to much...only really obvious signs of danger...drug abuse, sexual promiscuity..etc. But things like flirting and whatnot...not worry.
Always be aware this might not last and prepare for that...encourage him to get to know her as much as possible before getting to serious...
Be happy he wants you in their lives, she may be a great girl. It's awesome when mothers get along well with their sons girlfriends...

If he wants you to I think you should. It wouldn't hurt to know where your son is spending his time and with whom.
Also, I married the most wonderful man in the world. Wanna know where we met? Myspace! He wrote me after reading my blogs and we hit it off even though I didn't really want a relationship at the time. Although we are older, you can meet some really cool people on myspace, you just have to have the maturity and patience to dicern who is creepy and who is real. Meeting her parents will give you a better idea of what your son is getting into.

If you see that your son is really involved in this relationship and it looks as if it is going to last, then meeting the parents is not a bad idea. This way you know the kind of family your son is getting involved with. Plus getting to know the parents will also help you find out more about this girlfriend of his. Just try to be open about things because with teenagers the minute you try to oppose to something they try to rebel against you and things could get worse. Most importantly try to keep the communication open among you two. Believe me I was a teenager once, it's funny how you forget sometimes how life was when you were a teenager. Just look back into your life and you'll remember!

It depends on your son, how often is he bringing a girl around? My son (18) has a new girlfriend every other week and so I would not go out of my way to meet the parents. On the other hand his older sister rarely go serious and when she wanted us to meet his parents we knew it was serious and she then got married. It is up to you and the individual child what is right.

I think that if he is asking you to meet them, that is a great idea. Why wouldn't you want to know the up bringing of a person he is now spending so much time with. I think that it is great that he wants you to be a part of this and is being so open, especially for being almost 17. Good for you, you obviously are raising a smart young man!

It wouldn't hurt to meet the parents. Now, if he's insisting that you meet them, I would be a little concerned, specially if they've been speding too much time together. Or maybe he just wants you to feel comfortable that you know what kind of people he's hanging out with.

Yes. I think it is always a good idea to meet the parents of the people your kids are dating.

Well, I wouldn't be to thrilled about meeting people on line, and if its just luv, and not love, then i dontn think you need to meet her parents. ANd he shouldn't be at her house everynight. Im sure there is school work that needs to be done. but if you feel that you want to meet her parents, then by all means do it. if you for see that they are going to acctually have a relationship, then i think you could meet them.
