Okay

My friend asks his dad for permission to come see me.

I say: I hope he’s okay with you coming!

Is this okay?

I think that grammar sticklers would insist that only "your coming" (gerund) is correct in this situation. However, your version (participle version) is just as common among native speakers that we probably can't say it's wrong.
