Pam got me thinking....

I don't think my parents and FILs are going to meet until the day of the rehearsal dinner. FILs refuse to come visit NY, my parents even offered to go to PIttsburgh to meet them but FILs couldn't come up with a weekend that was good for them (REALLY??) I would be SHOCKED if his mother made the effort to come for my shower...

Is this weird that they probably won't meet until the day before the wedding? Have all of your parents and FILs met?

My parents have met FH's dad...my mom is the only one to have met his mom...and neither have met his step-dad or his siblings. They all won't meet until probably the RD either

our parents met over easter - they both came to visit us.... It was jsut for dinner though that they met and the next time they'll see each other will be the rehearsal. I am 99.9% sure she is not coming to the shower either (from kansas)!

omg i wish our parents never met!!
I cannot believe they cant find a good weekend. why does it have to be a weekend thats good why couldnt it be like a few hours thats good. you n your rents go to pittburg and do dinner-that takes a whole weekend?? whats their deal? what does your fh have to say about that??
from the sound of i maybe its better that they dont meet until right before the wedding

FH just says 'They're old' I'm not sure what kind of excuse that is but whatever.

I was really annoyed that my parents were willing to take off a Friday from work, fly to Pittsburgh to see where FH grew up, do some sight seeing and meet his family but his mother couldn't be bothered to tell FH a weekend that 'worked for them.' So that was when I said fine, how about a dinner, they don't have to spend all weekend with us, and it's not like we were going to be staying at their house. His mother doesn't even work, so it's not like she'd be tied up with anything...but they still couldn't come up with a weekend...

I think you and I feel the same way about our FMILs....

Hahaha, wish I could say the same........

My mother and FH's mother used to work together......for years. That's actually how FH and I met.........we were set up on a blind date by our mothers!

My mom has met FHs dad and (new) Stepmom and one of his half-brothers We spent the holidays together this year... it was nice.

*I* probably won't meet FHs mom until the RD, and that's just fine with me.

our rents haven't met each other
we're hosting a little party at our house inviting the bridal party and parents - they will meet then...

I really thought for sure there would be a 'Most hated FMIL' category at the shower that you and I would be duking it out for...

I love a good FMIL vent so always feel free!!!! I will definitely FM you a few good stories... I'll throw in a few about FBIL too...

It took awhile for my parents and my FIL's to meet each other and they live five minutes away from each other!
That's a tough situation, but try not to let it stress you out before your big day!

Thanks... everytime I read back something I write about FMIL I feel better for getting off of my chest but I probably sound like such a beast to everyone else!!!!

i think it is a little awkward if they meet that late, nothing to worry about but just awkward like oh this is my fiances mother and were getting married tomorrow thanks bye lol its not the end of the world though

fil's met my parents really early on it has to do with my culture though as well

LOL You crack me up... it is kinda weird when you put it that way!!!!

my mother and father has met FMIL but FFIL refuses to meet my parents!!

at this point i really dont care anymore...i've tried everything to make it comfortable for FFIL to meet my parents but he doesnt want anything to do with my parents...why? who knows? He's crazy!
