Some Ze Monkey advice

[Klynne]

I have been dating the same guy for a few months now. My dad and both of my brothers have met him. My brothers are very accepting of him, my dad only met him briefly. So, now it is the holiday season, and I would like for him to meet my mom. My mom can be difficult. I asked my dad last night, to ask my mom, if it would be o.k. for him to have dinner with us on Christmas Eve.

My mom called me to talk about it.

"So, I talked to your dad, and are you serious about this?"

Me "Yes."

Mom "Will he be staying over night?"

Me "No, he isn't planning on it, but if the weather is bad, I don't want him driving back."

Mom "Well, I guess it is o.k."

So, I know exactly how she feels about it, I won't even invite him. What kind of sucks is that she will be hurt when I have to leave Christmas day in order to spend time with his family. I guess I should feel no guilt about this.

I guess I have made up my mind. I will not take him home with me, because I don't want her to be uncomfortable, and I will have to leave early to spend time with his family. Maybe my timing was off. But I have invited people to dinner at my parent's house ( On holidays none the less) that they did not even know, and they welcomed them with open arms. Argggh. What do you think?
