Girfriend And Parents
Hey.
So my girlfriend invited me over to dinner with her parents next week.
She said that her dad was very nosy and would want to know everything about me.
Where my parents work, What im taking in school, Where I want to got to college, Etc.
Its fine with me that he wants to know everything about his daughters boyfriend. I am prepared to answer all the questions except the one about where my parents work. When he asks im going to say, “My dad owns his own company, my step-mom is a Doctor of Environmental Engineering, and she also runs part of her parents Oil Company.”
Is that too descriptive? Should I be like “My dads owns a company and my step-mom works for the Government.”
Thanks
Cody*

Just go ahead and tell them what your parents do! It won't be bragging because, after all, they asked! I think you should give a little more detail about your dad's company. Instead of just "My dad owns his own company", say "My dad owns a ----- company." They might want to hear more about it, so just answer all their questions honestly and matter of factly. If you're too vague, or seem like you don't want to talk about it, it might seem like you're ashamed of something or hiding something, or even making stuff up! So just go with the flow and don't worry!

hey
just keep it simple - unless he asks more detailed questions which means he wants more out of you. he just wants to get to know you. you don't want to come off as bragging, so just answer the questions as simple but as complete as you can. he's not trying to make a fool of you, but just get to know you & your family better.

Just tell them what your parents really do, you don't have to give them every last detail or go into description. It's not like her parents are going to hate you becaue they don't like where your parents work. He's just trying to get to know you. And you won't be bragging, if they want to know more, they'll ask. It can't be that bad.

I think that's fine. No matter how you say it, it'll spark a conversation. That's all he's trying ot do- get to know you and your family, since guys from good families have more respect for others and such.
