It's probably a good sign, especially if reunification work is going well, that the parents want to be supportive of their children and are interested in their doings. It puts you and your family in a more than awkward spot, however, and wouldn't be appropriate if things are not going well or they or their associates have an antagonistic attitude toward you.
Whether they come or not would usually be the cw's call. If you feel uncomfortable with it or it's clearly inappropriate for the case, let's hope the cw would end it as soon as he/she knows what is happening. Just be sure to remind the cw not to "blame" you for the restriciton with the parents. We have a cw who has a horrible (and, I think, dangerous) habit of saying "if you're comfortable with...." and if we say we are not, THAT is what she tells the parents! Arrgh!
