Meeting His Parents
So today I remembered that last Saturday, I met his parents. When Hunnie told me his mom invited me for dinner, I freaked out. I know it’s important to him, he really wanted his family to get to know me. And the truth is, I would really want to meet them too. But anyone that knows me, knows that I am not part the itty, bitty titty, committee. I guess it is post traumatic stress was because one of the boyfriends I had been was momma’s boys (avoid these if you can). She is a very nice lady, but she got too involved in our relationship. There is a clear difference between someone who loves their mom, wants to spend time with her and spoil her and someone who allows his mother rule his life, combs his hair for him, and tucks him in at 21 years old. Needless to say I ran away from that relationship.Of coz, his mom wasnt the only reason why. With Brent, there weren’t any pressures. His parents knew I’m Asian, and Aussies are pretty cool about these things. I could be just one of his friends. Because there were cultural differences, I wasn’t afraid of getting ‘complaints’. With the other ex-boyfriend, I never intended to meet his parents. I avoided it at all cost. I knw it wouldn’t last, why put in more stress? Right.
So, the story was, on Friday itself I ‘m already freaking out about Saturday. I asked a few colleagues of mine the same question “Will they hate me”. Their replied always come with a laugh. And they said “why would anyone hate you? No one hate you Steph. You are one of the most likeable people I know.” Pheww….. I really hope so. Chill. They said. Yes, I know the weekend is supposed to be the time to unwind, but Saturday night I will be faced with one of the more stress-inducing situations a woman can go through: dinner with the boyfriend’s parents. It’s the first time meeting them, and I’m usually okay with parents (my sparkling personality wins them over every time). *wink* Well, I certainly did survived the first meeting. It wasn’t scary. In fact, they are really nice. His dad has the fierce look, but I think he’s kinda cool. His mom, such a sweet woman who is so warm and caring. Funny too. His brother and sis in law are nice. And not forgetting his nephew, mischievous little boy. He kept me entertained with some Mr Bombastic dance.
Guessed, the front door is open now. I’m looking forward to meet them next time 
Qi Zhi, he has that mischievous look. doesnt he?
Love YOU!
