[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]my rising college senior has a new GF we haven't met.  She lives near his oos campus so he's spent lots of time with his family and DS is there this summer.  They've been dating less than 6 months and he wants to bring her home for Fall Break. My instinct says we need to embrace this as he seems in love with this young woman.  There are some things we know about her that suggest they may not be compatible, but we haven't met her so I'm open-minded, and what I think doesn't really matter as I want DS to be happy and loved.  I suspect by DH will hate this idea.

So what are the reasons we should get on board.  Help me build out the rationale underpinning my instinct that says we need to suck it up and share our time with this person even if we might prefer not to.   The only real "reason" I have to object is that younger sibling will be a first year, so this break will be their first college break home, and having an extra house guest probably isn't ideal for them.

No one is forcing you to have her but if you care about him, welcome her. Your reluctance, biased assumptions and excuses aren't facts, just anxious chatter in your mind. [/quote]
