Meeting the parents for the first time can always be a challenge.  You always want to make a good first impression.  But, in the end, a lot of it depends on the relationship that exists between her and her parents.

Most of the women that I have dated have been intimidated by their mother.  In some cases, this intimidation results in the daughter being submission to mom.   While in other cases, the daughter resents her mother.

In the first situation, it is important to be accepted by mom because the daughter will succumb to moms’ wishes.  And, with the second, being liked by mom can be detrimental because you become a pawn in the mother/daughter power struggle.

So, understanding the mother/daughter relationship is important if you hope to blend in with the family.
