person to your parents and family? I am very emabarrased by my family, my dad is an overcontrolling overopinionated jerk and my mom is an achingly average doofus. My brothers I really never see so they're not an issue, my uncles and cousins are mostly a bunch of idiots, obnoxious jerks, and rednecks, 9/10 of each of them fit at least one of those three qualities, most fit two but there are even more which fit all three. Basically if I wound up with someone for a long term relationship I would go out of my way to keep them from meeting my parents, even if I had to lie and say they were dead or chronically insane or something.

Or rather, I think you should learn to accept your own family before trying to love and accept anyone else. They're the ones you grew up with and they know you best. If you truly feel that way, then I can only wonder how you'd judge and treat your future girlfriend.

In your situation, I would avoid letting your partner meet them until you know your partner and you are inseparable. Then warn them in a joking way the same way you just warned us in your question and then it is all good... Shouldn't be a problem if you are super close first.
