August 28th, 2006meeting the folks
One of my favorite things to do is meet new people. I’ve no problem randomly chatting with someone and their mother in any scenario, and generally about any topic.
That being said, I hate having to meet people who’s opinion of me will be based on this meeting alone. Interviews are one such situation… and meeting the parents and family of your boyfriend are another entirely.
Particularly when you’re the new girlfriend who’s convinced their only son to move 1500 miles away from them.
Erm… ::cough::
Fortunately, his entire family is nice, hugely entertaining and unbelievably gifted: an artist, a musician, a Ph.D., a director of a peace league and mother of two and a lawyer, now professor.
Daunting, isn’t it? Yeah, I think so too. 😛
Not that you need any more pressure but I would be INSANELY nervous. Wow that must be quite a bit of pressure. I think it would be extremely hard to measure up to anything that would expect from their son….but thats just me.
