So, the youngest child is now [[She Is's All Grown Up|all grown up]], and is [[What Is This Thing You Call Love?|no longer]] clueless to the phenomenon known as love, experiencing some of the associated symptoms like [[Longing Look|longing looks]], a more bubbly personality, and long pauses between responses. The parents, and quite possibly siblings, who notice these changes will start to express some [[Where Did We Go Wrong?|concern amongst themselves]], before addressing the situation to the person in question, who, by that time, will [[Relationship Reveal|tell]] the family that he/she is in love with someone, and is planning to introduce the significant other and their family to his/her own. But, there's a catch. Turns out he/she feels quite [[Amazingly Embarrassing Parents|embarrassed]] with the current status that the family is in right now. So, before the significant other arrives, some ground rules have to be applied: Don't be a [[Doting Parent]], don't drag out any [[Embarrassing Old Photo]]s, father, whatever you do, try to resist the temptation of falling into your [[Wacky Parent, Serious Child|typical habits]], do not tell stories like "I Used To Change Your Diapers", keep those tacky, [[Homemade Sweater From Hell|moth-ridden sweaters]] you used to make me out of sight, and especially don't reveal my [[Embarrassing Middle Name|full name.]] Just, for the love of God, give me one normal night.
 
May overlap with [[Give Him a Normal Life]]. May also involve [[Bad Bad Acting]] if the people involved are not used to behaving to the normal standards of society. Expect [[Stock Phrase|stock phrases]] such as "[[You're Not My Father]]", "[[Where Did We Go Wrong?]]?", and, the extreme "[[You Are Grounded]]". Expect massive [[Face Palm|Facepalms]] from the child if they start to think the family isn't respecting his or her request, or are acting even worse than they normally do. As a last-ditch effort, the child in question might use [[Stand-In Parents]] to make the illusion a reality.
