[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious? It's hard not to be curious but it's not polite.

You aren't owed any information. Unless they are about to get married, you aren't owed the opportunity to meet them. It's always nice when people share their lives with others, and want people in their lives to meet. But just because you are parents - no special privileges

As a parent, I will ask about and show interest. To show interest, without expressing any expectation.[/quote]

umm, these are your children. damn right you are entitled to know. "it's always nice when people share their lives with others" - DCUM family insanity has reached new levels.[/quote]

No, you're an authority freak. Most parents don't demand anything about their kid's relationships. I dated lots of guys in college and after and only mentioned a couple of keepers to  my family. My mom would ask a few polite questions here and there but none of this insane interrogation crap. I would never date someone who had parents like that.

I had a roommate post college who had crazy abusive parents. I imagine they have lots in common with this parent. We were in our mid 20s and working. Her parents lived in MD and we lived in NC. They were constantly trying to control where she was and what she did. She had a boyfriend and would stay with him often and they were trying to catch her not being home. They would call our apartment regularly very early to verify she was home. They would lose their minds if she didn't answer the phone. One weekend they started calling at 6 am and I was the only one home. They would not stop calling. I answered and told them she was not there and they screamed at me. I hung up and left the phone off the hook. They drove from MD to NC that day and showed up at our apartment banging on the door yelling and screaming at me. I had to threaten to call the police to get them to leave. What they did should be illegal.[/quote]
