I've got two daughters (29 and 26). As far as the boys go, I decided early on to make the best of an inevitable situation. I told the girls that their boyfriends were very welcome to come visit. That way you get to see what they are like and if you treat them politely, you'll find that the no-hopers just fade away.
Also, engage them in casual conversation with a view to finding out what they do - that way you can get some payback for the expense of bringing the girls up. So if one of them is a decorator - you get the hall painted, if one of them is a mechanic - you get the car fixed - you get the idea?
