My fiance will meet my family for the first time tomorrow and I'm nervous as hell. I've never brought a boy home for Christmas. And now it's not "just a boy" but more like.. hey mum and dad, here's my future husband and the father of my future babies. And so more pressure.. ugh. Oh well. Tim and I live about 1,500 miles away from them so even if it goes to hell and they end up hating each other it doesn't really matter I guess.. But still.. nervous.. So uhh.. lets talk about something fun. :toetap05:
Oh my.. I understand.. I'd be nervous as hell if my bf was coming home on Christmas. But I'm sure you two will handle it. just by the way... do your parents speak English?
That's the main thing that's making me so nervous! My mum can understand English just fine but she hasn't spoken it in years and so she herself is quite nervous about it. My dad.. well his main way of communicating is grunting, even when he speaks to us, hahah. Yeah, he doesn't speak English.. so that'll be awkward. But Tim said he was gonna buy him a bottle of whiskey from the airport so they can just sit and drink whiskey together. Nah, I'm sure it'll be fine, it's just a very different experience for me and for my parents also, I've never really brought boyfriends home before coz I've lived so far away for so long and everything.. Sooo yea, keep your fingers crossed for me!!
Jo how exciting! I am sure your parents will love Tim. I remember bringing John home for the first time... I was more nervous for John then for me. My parents loved him from the second they met him. They do know you are engaged right? Haha, cuz that could be awkward. But other then that I am sure they are both excited! Have fun!
Thanks That's funny, Tim said the same thing when he was trying to calm me down. I can just see how that would have gone.. my mum would have castrated him with her bare hands. Uhh.. better not think about that..
When i was married I was around my wife's Spanish family for a few months at a time, and not one of them spoke English, mostly only Catalan, but we managed, and yes drinking seemed to help "Gary, salut" with glasses raised at me is burnt into my memory I am sure it will be amusing at least
Then you are all set if they know... Anyways.... what are they gonna do if they don't like him? Haha, never talk to you again. Suuuure For a long time John's mom didn't like me and I stopped stressing over it because I realized... what the hell can she do? Ya know?
He's not here yet! I'm leaving in about 20 mins to pick him up from the airport. I'm sooo excited, this is the longest we've been away from each other since.. well a long time ago! I've missed him so much it's crazy. Not so nervous anymore either, just crazy excited.
It was so funny, like I said my dad doesn't really speak English at all, he and Tim got along great. They sat in the living room smoking cigars and drinking rum and whiskey and had a great time. And my mum just adores Tim, they had long conversations about everything and mum was glowing the whole time. Then last night she was on the phone with her sister and I heard her telling her how great Tim is and how happy she is that he's here.. it was so nice. Yay.
