Is Thanksgiving dinner the time to introduce your family to your new boyfriend/girlfriend?
Thanksgiving is known as a family tradition. One will gather with aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents and parents. This may be the perfect time to introduce the family to one’s new girlfriend or boyfriend. Or is it?
Stop and think for a moment. First, consider your family. What type of family do you have? Is your family the traditional kind? Do they believe only family belongs at the Thanksgiving table? Would they consider it okay for a surprise guest to show up at the dinner? If you brought a girlfriend or boyfriend to this dinner, would it have to be one in which you were seriously involved? In this case, would serious mean that you saw a future commitment such as marriage as a possibility?
