[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD 22 is in her first serious, long-term committed relationship. She is going to meet her boyfriend’s folks for the first time in a week. She is worried because she knows them to be pretty conservative on some matters. I personally am more worried because my daughter is REALLY uninhibited, even around people who are older or who she should respect. She’ll say anything for a laugh or a reaction. Once she announced to her friend’s mother that the mother was “never not pregnant”. Another time she laughingly told a new neighbor that she was “so insane”. [b]I’m scared that she’ll really dial up the rudeness and loudmouthedness with the parents and they won’t be endeared to her.[/b] How do I stop this from being an issue?[/quote]

I think you mean that you are afraid they won't find her endearing.  And you are right.  She doesn't sound endearing: she sounds immature and crude.  Your daughter isn't a very kind or likable young woman, is she?[/quote]
Crude? Not sure where you're getting that one.[/quote]

You think that "crude" means only distasteful comments with a sexual connotation.  You are wrong.

crude: lacking taste, tact, or refinement; vulgar (dictionary.com)

A crude person is someone who is rude, vulgar, offensive, or lacking in refinement, tact, and good taste, often making blunt, unsophisticated, or sexually inappropriate comments or behaving in an unpolished way, showing little concern for others' feelings. They are rough, unrefined, and sometimes primitive in their speech or action (AI)[/quote]
