[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Prep him in advance what to expect. If he is the good person you think he is, he will not care. He will likely worry about making a good impression on your parents![/quote]

This and stay in a hotel. Your parents seem like lovely people. [/quote]

OP here. I keep asking him to stay at a hotel but he is insistent that we stay with my parents to save money. I think since this is the first time everyone will be meeting, us staying at a hotel would be ideal as we can manage how to have contact or when to see each other vs having some privacy. And it would lessen the stress on my parents to host us. They technically do have a guest room but I worry for them trying to buy food and feed us for 2 weeks! :( [/quote]

Your family, and your country, so you get to set the parameters. I'd lead with a statement that you don't want your parents feeding you for 2 weeks and that a hotel is more appropriate. He should defer to you in this case. [/quote]
