You're right. OP is just worried about unloading her oaf of a daughter. OP either failed or the DD was completely resistant to learning any sort of social grace.

No grace for the wicked.

But she doesn't seem to have taught her daughter the concept of situational appropriateness. Daughter seems to have gotten this far without it, so maybe everything will be fine. Or maybe this guy isn't a match. I guess we'll find out!

I recognize the speech pattern of another one of your troll posts, OP.

OP here. I don't know what you thought you saw. But this is my first post on this forum, and the reaction has been so abrasive and harsh that it will doubtless be my last.

So you’re deeply sensitive to tone and content, but your daughter is the way she is?

OP here, and, well, yes. Maybe you could say that. Some would say that the apple doesn’t fall from the tree but I feel that it must, otherwise it won’t thrive. My daughter is the same. I’m a sensitive soul. Always have been. My daughter simply isn’t. I would advise on, you know, saving it all for a rainy day, but my daughter wouldn’t wait and that’s who she is. I don’t know if I’m making sense but I wanted to put the rumors to rest. I’m not a troll, not AI, not MAGA, and I don’t know why is everybody on the internet so mean but I know that myself. And i know my daughter.

Apparently OP is just as immature as the daughter. You had an entire 22 years to address your daughter’s rude and senseless demeanor. But you didn’t. Now you are complaining the forum you willingly seek anonymous advice from is too crude. If you know your daughter better than anyone, then what advice did you expect from strangers?

You are now defending the person she is, but you want others to help fix the situation she is in. Which is it, OP? You wish your daughter to behave differently or do you not.

I’d be worried if my daughter’s bf was from a MAGA family, but the bigger issue is that your daughter has no filter. That’s going to impact her life outside of a romantic relationship. For example, she’ll have to deal with HR a lot of it can’t learn what is inappropriate to comment to coworkers or clients.

So how did the parent meeting go?

Unless he is a really great suitor let it go

If two of them love each other and families can see that, both his and hers would cut them slack over their quirks.

Your preemptive worry that she'll be annoying and they'll get annoyed and then you'll have to mend her broken heart makes sense but its not useful. Let her handle it. She is an adult.
