What was it like the 1st time you met FH's parents?

For me--it was overwhelming. I wound up meeting just about the whole family--his six younger siblings, mom, dad, and step-mom and they were all wanting my attention! The first meetings went okay--but then...well you know how in-laws can be sometimes!

Re: What was it like the 1st time you met FH's parents?

it was at about 1am in the morning his sister had been in a car accident and we had been out and rushed to the hospital. Yet when I met them I felt like I already knew them. FMIL gave me a big hug.

Re: What was it like the 1st time you met FH's parents?

I knew them before FH and I were an "item" , so it was easy!

Re: What was it like the 1st time you met FH's parents?

I knew my FH's father since he was in the fire department with us. I meet my FH's mom when FH's father passed away. It was not the best time.

Re: What was it like the 1st time you met FH's parents?

Re: What was it like the 1st time you met FH's parents?

It was so awkward. We walked in, and at first they were polite. Then his parents started speaking to him in a different language, and started screaming at him. We left right away, and afterwards he told me they were upset because he wanted to marry me. They told him that if he wanted to be a part of that family he could not marry a white woman. He hasn't spoken to them since. Not as happy a story as everyone else's! I wish it was.

It was a little strange, we weren't supposed to meet when we did. My FH was bartending and told me to stop by that night and they came in after dinner. It was nice at least they had a few more couples with them so they kind of broke the ice a bit.

Re: What was it like the 1st time you met FH's parents?

I went to sunday dinner which is not a typical (his anut, uncle, cusins, FIL's ans FSIL.) i was definatly on trial.. (scored point by bringing pinolli(SP)cookies from bklyn)but i love them all anyway :O)

Re: What was it like the 1st time you met FH's parents?

We got along right from the start. His parents are very reserved and calm, and I'm very bubbly and very much the extrovert. Anyway, they are very catholic, and I was afraid that they wouldn't like me and think I was a wild girl if they found out I had tattoos. Needless to say I hid them for a while, and as we got closer I finally wore a short sleeve shirt. Nothing was said, and I was still accepted with open arms.

Re: What was it like the 1st time you met FH's parents?

well they are divorced.....so i met the father in a quick in and out.....and mother and stepfather at a sunday dinner.....they were very warm and welcoming!

Re: What was it like the 1st time you met FH's parents?

Re: What was it like the 1st time you met FH's parents?

I met them when we were friends and I went to his house one night with a group of friends.

Re: What was it like the 1st time you met FH's parents?

I met them at their house for my Fh's bday party! along with his sister and her husband and both his grandmothers! I was so nervous.. especially to meet his dad cause everyone says he reminds them of Tony Saprano! Needless to say.. I loved them.. and his father is the best FFIL I can ask for! I am extremely close with his parents and call them both mom and dad now (they asked me to) and my parents think its great and love my FH too! I lucked out!

Re: What was it like the 1st time you met FH's parents?

It was a bit overwhelming, I met basically his entire family at a 4th of July BBQ at his grandparents house, so it was his parents, grandparents, about 6 cousins, 5 sets of aunts and uncles, family friends, etc...it was a good time but then tried to introduce themselves to me in waves.
