when should he be part of your family??

How long do you have to date someone before they become or should become "accepted" to be with you if there are family functions going on? such as a mothers' birthday, ( thanksgiving, Xmas etc?? should they be excluded because it's just "family" time? We just celebrated my mom's bday and since it was not celebrated in the home or my home my boyfriend of course was not going to be there...my mom never invited him and I felt well since it was at a restr for lunch they should not have to pay for him either..I told my son not to bring his girlfriend...but he usually brings her to my house when something is going on...boyfriend I've known now for over a year and a half....had it been my birthday of course he would have been included bec it's my choice...this year my kids will celebrate the Thanksgiving dinner at their fathers' house and have just dessert at my house so I'm planning to invite him here for dinner since it will be just my parents and I till the kids come for dessert...Christmas I think he might have his kids visiting so I think that will work out..I've tried to have him here now when I invite my parents over sometime for dinner and they are always polite but they've never invited us over to their house to eat except for a drink and that's only been about three times since I've known him...I don't think they like him much although he's very nice it really ticks me off...( Im 53 so no baby but they treat me like one)also now we have a first birthday for the grandson and my ex is refusing to come to it bec he does not want to see me apparently...my daughter is upset about that...in the past I could not have the boyfriend there like at the engagement party where my ex did show up bec he might see my boyfriend too...that's another point...when does the ex ever get introduced to the new boyfriend?? ....

It sounds like he's part of your regular family functions anyway.
