[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 [b]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.[/b] 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”. I’m scared that she’ll really dial up the rudeness and loudmouthedness with the parents and they won’t be endeared to her. How do I stop this from being an issue?[/quote]

OP, your post doesn't seem to indicate that you disapprove of your daughter's disrespectful and annoying behavior, or that you have tried to address this with your daughter, only that you are "REALLY worried" about how her boyfriend's parents will react to her rudeness because you...just accept that this is how she is?  Have you EVER tried to address this behavior? This is the kind of behavior that would have started when she was young: were you the parent defending her to teachers and refusing to accept that she was rude/offputting?  Because at this point, other people in life are going to be doling out the consequences, and there's nothing you can do.
