AITA for bringing my boy up to my bf's parents?

I got into a relationship with my bf a year ago. He has a great attitude and I've never felt better so I introduced him to my family and friends shortly after. I have a 4 year old son and he's been nothing but good to him, as well. My parents and I are very happy with him but up until recently, his parents weren't in the know. A few days ago I told them that I had been seeing someone for a while and wanted them to meet him. <br><br>They were angry and spent the rest of the day mad at me, saying I was being disrespectful by keeping them in the dark. They said it was not right to introduce someone to everyone but them. I said I could only do it once I was sure he was a good guy but they said I never did this with any other guys so I was being unfair to their son.<br><br>I let it go at that but yesterday my bf's parents confronted me about my son. They scolded me for not telling them sooner. They said I should have told them the minute they met me that I was a mom so they could prepare for being grandparents. They said it was inconsiderate on my part to keep my son a secret when I was their son's girlfriend. I argued that my son isn't a secret, or at least I never made him one but that didn't help.<br><br>They said I also didn't include my son in the picture which was disrespectful. They said I'm not some single parent dating but I'm a mom and a girlfriend so I needed to include my son and not keep him hidden. I said I could only bring him up once I was sure their son was ok with kids and a good guy, but they took that as if I was questioning their parenting and my bf got mad at me for it.<br><br>I think they're all overreacting.
