The point where one of the parties introduce their partners to their parents is considered one of the biggest steps in a relationship.

For certain people, It is what separates casual frolicking from the real deal. Most people wait till they have the conviction that they are with someone they will eventually end up with before even taking that step. While some people dread getting to this point other people actually look forward to having a partner they can introduce to their parents because they feel like it’s a significant point in a supposedly serious relationship.

According to Miriam, introducing her boyfriend to her parents is a way of concretizing his place in her life. Any guy who is serious with you shouldn’t mind being introduced to the parents of his partner, she argued.

Abdulaziz however, dreads that point of a relationship. According to him, everything gets awkward the moment family gets involved.
“You have to start getting used to visiting her at home in presence of her people where you have to start acting all prim and proper. You can’t even initiate any form of intimacy when you are there.”

Tosin also agrees with Abdulaziz above, positing that introducing parents to a relationship may prematurely fast track the relationship, making it easier for the couple to make hasty decisions they may regret later. He also stated that certain parents might be unnecessarily intrusive and that will make things a whole lot awkward for the parties involved. He told of a time he was dating a girl whose mom started to call him ceaselessly, and how every time he had a minor altercation the parents of the girl would be brought into it.

Francis feels the same way. According to him, bringing family into the relationship may accelerate the relationship into a level that the guy may not be prepared for yet.

At what point do you think it is necessary for parents to be brought into a relationship?

Personally, I could only involve parents when he has proposed. That way, I'm sure we are about to tie the knots.

My parents will be involved after I have tested her conceivability

When you are ready to get married or settle down.

Parents must be involved in their children's relationship if the relationship is inter-tribal .

Any fuckin time

when one's partner dies

When you see real love not all this fake girls

Never except threat to life.

If he proposes,
Grab his balls.

If you know, you know.

it depends on kind of relationship a child has with his/her parents.

Exactly, but then, being proposed to doesnt 100% guarantee marriage sometimes but we just have to let parents know.

Parents must be involved when the relationship is intertribal. I personally don't support intertribal marriages.
I think people should stick with people of their tribe.

1). When the child is matured enough for it: give advice (dos and dnts), and when they're ready to get married

2). Advise against it when the child isn't matured enough for a relationship

Even marriages has no guarantee now. That said, that's the only condition on which I would introduce any man to my parents.

Inform the parents when you have discussed longevity and permanency. This way there is no added pressure. How much involvement is very much dependent on the parents some involvement becomes a complete takeover or an imposition.

Parent should be involve when you are both ready to walk down the aisle... But these days a parent can know up to 5 guys or ladies in a year...

Are we talking about children or grown adults? If they are grown[b] When Asked.[/b]
