Does anyone have FH who is totally against his and your families hanging out? My parents are coming into town this weekend to go dress shopping with me and his mom invited my parents over for a brunch. Now it is the “end of the world” that they are hanging out. (They have met before) He is soooo against the two families hanging out. He is not a big family person to begin with which I accepted but I mean really is this such a big deal?

I am sorry to hear that about your families though, I know my family and i know what meeting FHs family could entail.
Did he give specific reasons for not wanting them to?
I know with FH my mom knows some things that he would really rather not his family know and my mom has a big mouth so that makes him uneasy

Re: Parents meeting?
Yeah our families are as different as you can get. (My dad as long as you try thats all that matters, his dad if your not 1st your last) They have met a few times and get along. FH is just against it but I dont seee AT ALL what the big deal is. ITs not like they are going ot be best friends from acrosss the country! I think he thinks it will turn into the families combining for holidays and his parents will feel obligated to go if invited. My family is VERY pushing witht he hanging out all the time and not leaving early.

Our parents got along great if they lived here they would probably hang out all the time but since FH's live in CT and mine live here its hard to get them to see each other.

Re: Parents meeting?
Our parents have met before a few times but nothing yet where they were at a social function with one another. Actually this weekend may possibly be the first time that happens because me and my brother are throwing a BBQ on Sat and I invited FIL's to come and they may come.
My dad has met with FFIL many times before and they get a long. My mom has met FMIL like 2 times that I can recall and things seems alright, although my mother is kinda shy around new people so I knew she wouldn't be too chatty with FMIL.

Re: Parents meeting?
My FH and I's parents are about as opposite as you can get. They are a generation apart in their thinking (ie: moving in together, spending a lot on a wedding, etc)..... yet they met right after we got engaged and hit it off! I mean they are not life long BFFs, but at the same time they respect eachother--- and have since invited eachother over for some holiday parties, etc.
all i have to say is you never know how it is going to work out until it happens. I am happy we did so early on in our engagement (even though i was freaking out before hand!)

omg do we have the same mom?
yeah our families are night and day. His family is from Panama and Colombia and mine's from NY. The education level is different..everything is, but I LOVE FH's family so if my Mom embarrasses me, I will never forgive her.

Re: Parents meeting?
Our families actually get along really well. Of course we were nervous the first time they met, but it was great. My parents live OOT so whenever they are here we always all do dinner, and if they lived close FMIL and my mom would prob hang outall the time.
Good Luck!

Re: Parents meeting?
both my parents and FH parents are off the boat italian, so at least they have that in common. they both speak italian and their english is rusty. when we got engaged in November, my parents still had not met, and they met for the first time a few weeks after to celebrate. we were so nervous. i don't think they will be BFF or anything, but they don't have to be. we each get along great with each others families and thats what matters. they have only met each other that one time.

Re: Parents meeting?
I'm surprised that many of you have wedding dates booked and your parents haven't met yet. Although, it's not a huge deal.
Me and FH's parents get along really well. It's nice and it's a good thing.
