[quote=Anonymous]My youngest (38f) has been dating this guy for about a year and brought him to a recent family celebration to meet everyone and the extended family. She hasn’t  had much luck with men and always goes for “the artist type” and has brought home some pretty unorthodox guys in the past. This current bf is a starving artist type as well and has very extensive tattoos all over his arms/hands/chest and has those big earrings that stretch out his earlobes. But he seems very nice, has a handsome face and she seems happy. Her sister (my other daughter 46f) met him at the party, was fine to him but made a BIG point of saying TO ME that he will not meet her elementary age children until it’s serious (ie, they are engaged) and she will not be inviting them to the holidays at her house or introducing him to the kids before then. I can’t help to think it’s bc of his more alternative looks than anything else (as they run more traditional as a family). Do I force the issue as a parent or stay out of it? I just want some harmony instead of all the drama! I feel especially sensitive towards my younger daughter’s feelings bc she deserves to be happy. [/quote]
