Just tell them, their get over taking the mick in time. Having a g/f nothing to be ashamed off

 Hi.
You sound a little like me. I was worried that my parents would react this way when I met a girl. But I can tell you from my experience; they couldn't have been more cool about it. They didn't crowd me, they didn't pry into our relationship much at all, and they certainly didn't laugh or joke (which, knowing my lot, came as a great surprise to me!)
I don't know you or your family, so I can only tell you what I know, and what I know is, I feared the same as you, and in the end, I was compeltely wrong. Maybe things will be the same for you too.
