I'm afraid to have my girlfriend over. What should I do?
I'm 16 and me and my girlfriend have bend dating for almost two years now. I know this probably sounds dumb because I'm so young. But anyway, I go to her house or somewhere with her family everytime we hangout. I'm perfectly comfortable around her family and have no problems. However, my parents are getting really mad that she never comes to my house. She's very shy and not very outgoing but I want her to come over. It's mainly my parents. They're kind of judgy and ask a lot of questions. I've had her over 3 times since we've been dating and all three times have been extremely awkward because of my parents so I haven't had her over in a few months. I feel bad because my parents want to get to know her but they just make it so uncomfortable and awkward and so do my siblings. I've tried talking to my parents about it and they just took it personally and got mad. I have no idea what to do. Please help.

Sometimes we are critical of our parents when there is no need. Does she feel uncomfortable? Or is it just you?
I do know how you feel. I never had guys over to my house except for one guy who was very talkative and nothing my mom said bothered him.
I'm wondering if you can invite her out with your parents so the gathering won't be at your house. You know, if you guys go out to dinner invite her. Or some other outing. That may take some of the pressure off your parents asking her too many questions.

You need to talk to them about them making things weird get them to tone it down. But not bringing her around is bad. Don't drive a wedge between her and your family if you plan on being with her a ling time

Your girlfriend reminds me like me. I am shy and not outgoing either. Just bring her over when her parents aren"t around.

Tell your family something's got to give they can't b awkward & then get mad it's their fault
