My boyfriend of a month is meeting my mom next weekend... I'm a little nervous because my mom has always made a big deal everytime I bring a new guy home(its been a very long time since I brought anyone new home), but she always gets all giddy. I already met his mom(on our 3rd meeting!) Shes very ill and lives in a nursing home and I've been told by his friends that is a huge thing since he's never brought anywoman to meet his mom, espeically that soon) So I know this is serious between us....but I am worried that my mom will do or say something inapprotiate(and if she doesn't my brother will!) Any tips?

You can't control everything (or even anything) that your Mom or brother will say, so just chill out. You should be proud of your mom and not self concious. Just let her be herself, it isn't any reflection on you as a person. Your boyfriend is obviously big into you, and that is all that should matter.
Relax and enjoy........

Don't argue with your mother or brother while your boyfriend is there. The only thing you should interviene is if they where to put your boyfriend down or be extremely rude (not just a little rude). Then, appoligize after for any behavior by your family. You don't want to make a big deal in front of him because it will only fuel fire at your house and make him think you are really disfunctional. Plus, your bf is loosing his mom and would think you are petty if you make a big deal. You should feel blessed to have a healty mom. We all have family issues, so he will understand.

What I would do is talk to your mom and brother alone and tell them how much this meeting means to you. Let your new guy know that your not so sure the meeting will be as great as you are hoping!

Why are you courting at 14? if your mom is allowing this by all ability, enable her meet his mom. i could never enable my little ones as much as now so youthful, nor became I allowed as much as now till I grew to become sixteen.

I wouldn't worry about it. She's just happy to meet the person you're spending your time with. If she embarasses you, it's only temporary and I'm sure he'll probably see it differently than you do.
Worst case scenario - if he doesn't like your mother, so what? His contact with her can be minimal.
I'm sure everything will be fine. Don't worry.

Talk to your mom. Tell her this could be the real deal and not to make it worse or say inappropriate things. Just to be safe warn your boyfriend that your mom might say/do inappropriate things

you should talk to your peeps prior to taking him over. your fam might just think he's another fling or a phase you are going thru if you've brought guys over in the past. so tell them you really like this guy and would appreciate it if they keep any rude or silly comments to themselves or you guys can talk about him after he's not around, but not in front of him. good luck

welli always hate meeting my gf's parents lol, its like ur relationship is on the line kinda because if ur parents dont like him then, they probably never will, so u should tell ur bf to just be calm not to say anything stupid and tell ur parents hes a really nice guy and just be cool with it dont be all nervous.

You can't make your family act the way that you want them to, but if the guy really likes you than he will understand and it won't be a big deal to him. Just forewarn him.

Let things go as they will ---best to get personalities out in the open now.
If he can't see past your mother and brother, he's not worth bothering with anyway...
