I'm not ready but he still wanted to meet my fam

My boyfriend and I have been dating for a while, but I told him I wasn’t ready for him to meet my entire family yet — especially at a big gathering. I wanted it to happen naturally and when I felt comfortable. But he kept insisting, saying, “If we’re serious, I should be there.” Next thing I know, he’s asking to stay at my parents’ house for the weekend like it’s no big deal. I felt cornered — it’s not that I’m ashamed of him, but meeting my whole extended family all at once is overwhelming. My parents can be intense, and I wanted to ease into it, not dive straight into family dinner chaos...How would you deal with it?

He ain't got no money, honey. Why should you have the problem? He is pressuring you for his comfort.

Straight up tell him you’re not ready and he can meet them when you are
