Thanks!Tips %26amp; advice for meeting future mother-in-law?
Awwwwwww....I've been through the whole ';meeting the family'; situation and I know how nerve-wracking it can be. It sounds cliche, but REALLY the best advice anyone can give you is to relax and just be who you are. Your fiance loves you. His family will love you too. Whoever you are, you sound like a kind person. Just be genuine and everything else will fall into place. The only mistake you could make would be to try and be someone you aren't. His family will pick up on it, and you'll be kicking yourself later for not being authentic. I'm sure everything will go fine. They're gonna love you!Tips %26amp; advice for meeting future mother-in-law?
just stay calm and make sure you're happy so she doesn't think ';miserable cow'; and praise her son. look at him with admiration and as if you couldn't be happier. They seem to like it if you ask for their help especially in the kitchen! that way, it doesn't seem as if you're trying to take over her son and she still gets a chance to mother him a bit. with the younger brother, depending on how young he is, you could ask him about school/work etc. just stay friendly, but dont be afraid to let a silence be a silence. There's nothing worse than panicking, trying to fill it, and blurting out something you regret later. It might be worth asking your fiance for a little help as well. Just for him to casually mention any major achievements or impressive hobbies you might have that could a) spark up a conversation and b) give you brownie points with the family. but stay calm! and good luck!
Be yourself, be open, and be honest. Every mother feels like no one is good enough, but he chose you so obviously you are; and they'll see that soon enough too. If you hit any speed bumps (awkward questions or anything like that) honesty honesty honesty I can't stress that enough women hate liars and can always feel if someone is. Just stay cool don't panic.
Dear Sweet,


Don't create something elaborate. Make something that you like and feel confident in preparing.





When you are all together with his family, be yourself. Just be yourself.





Anthony
Just be calm and be yourself.
