Things were going fine. Dinner is over, so his father passes the plate to me and says 'Jess, could you scrape the remainder of the ketchup from his plate into the bottle? We don't like the waste things.'. Confused, I did think this was a ridiculous request, and he has such a serious tone, that I was too scared not to grab the plate. The second I touch the plate, FH grabs and says 'He's joking! OMG were you really going to do that?'. I believe I never turned so red in my entire life.

Have you met them? Yes i have

What were your feelings before meeting them? I was a little nervous but not bad

How long into your relationship did you meet FHs family? I met his sister the night we met and met his mom a month later and then met his father at a later time

Was it a scheduled meeting like dinner or just random? Meeting his mom no it wasn't. Dad it was because it was fourth of july

Tell us about it! It went great! Love them!

What about FH meeting your parents/family? He loves my parents and he was fine with it.

And your parents/family meeting FHs parents/family? parents havent met yet

I met Fh's parents about 5 months into our relationship. Let me tell ya....I did not like meeting these people at all. They just show up at his appartment when we're all sleeping start slamming on the door, they live outta state.the place is a disaster bc we didnt feel like cleaning the previous night. And his dad starts picking apart everything thats wrong with the apartment. I wanted to scream in frustration. He kept saying that dump was unlivable and that we're slobs. First off i didnt move into that place until 3 weeks later and it's never been in that state again.

FH met my dad 3 weeks after we started dating and he loved my dad. He showed up in all his yankee gear and they started talking politics right away it was great.

our families have not met yet, and I really dont want them too. They're polar opposites.

Good question! But Eek.

FH & I had only been dating about a week before he brought me to his house to meet his parents.
I had just gotten my hair dyed, but it went terribly wrong and my hair was bright blonde with a tint of orange, plus I was wearing a BRIGHT PINK velour sweatsuit.
Well as soon as FH's mother saw me, she already had a dirty look on her face and i'm sure a million things were running through her head because she is old school italian and was not expecting what I looked like to be dating her son.
The hell started from there with her.
But I have nothing bad to say about FFIL! i LOVE HIM! He has been nothing but supportive through everything!


FH meeting my family was so easy. They loved him from day 1 and that's it! No judgement or anything! He got off easy, Lucky!

God it was SOOO long ago... I think I was sneaking out of their basement at 6 AM when they first met me...

I actually knew FH's dad before I met FH. I work at a bowling alley part time and FH's dad is on a league there. I met FH when one of his dad's team mates quit and he joined the league.

I met FH's cousins before we were dating too. I was out on Bell Blvd. and he asked me and my friends to meet up with him and his cousins.

I didn't meet FMIL until like a month after we started dating bc FH kept telling me she was a b*tch hahaha. He wasn't really lieing but I can handle her

My FIL's are definetly one of a kind and we don't always see eye to eye but they are good people and they are very generous with me and FH!

FH met my mom before he met me too bc she's the bartender at the bowling alley lol. He met the rest of the family the night of our first date - they were all in the kitchen when he came to pick me up!

Have you met them?
yes, we've met.

What were your feelings before meeting them?
i was scared to meet them, but only because i wanted them to like me.

How long into your relationship did you meet FHs family?
we were dating about 1 month into our realtionship - i know, pretty quick

Was it a scheduled meeting like dinner or just random?
umm, we were supposed to met on a Sunday for like coffee and dessert, but we were going to hang out with a couple of his friends on the Saturday before, so we were so early that we passed by his mom's house b/c his sister was getting married like 1 week later and they had to go over last minute plans. so he calls his sister who lives in the same house as his mom and tries to talk really low and says 'tell them we're coming' and here i am hyperventilating and hoping he didn't mean what i thought he meant, but he did and we met and then the next day i went over again and officially met them. I was so upset because i wanted to dress nicer and everything and i was in an old pair of bermuda shorts and tshirt.

What about FH meeting your parents/family?
he's met them as well. i think we planned it so that he met my parents the weekend before i met his

And your parents/family meeting FHs parents/family?
really simple, we went to my mom and dad's house and had coffee and dessert and it was short and sweet. i made my sister and her DH be there so that it wouldn't be so akward

I met them about a month after we started dating.
I was nervous to meet them because I had this preconcived notion that they were 'better than me and my family' due to our backgrounds and where were grew up and how we were raised.
We set to meet at a diner and have lunch.
Funny story, the night before I was supposed to meet them, FH and I were out to dinner and they were there also having dinner. We were unaware and they just came up to our table to say hi and im thinking, ugh who are these people interrupting our meal, and FH was like 'hi mom, hi dad' I almost dropped my fork lol
So i met them briefly that night on accident!

They are wonderful people and we get along so well!!
My family met him shortly after that. He brought my mom some chocolates and a card that said 'nice to meet you, you have a lovely daughter'
So cute!
So three months after dating my mother invited his parents to our house for Thanksgiving. They met, i was so nervous, but it ended up turning out better than I couldve asked for!!! I am truly blessed!

I met FH's mom in a very interesting way. I was the 'other' woman when we first started dating. His mother lives next door and came in the backyard when I was over one day. She takes one look at me and goes, 'Hmmm...You must be Jennie!' Then she left before I could say hi. OOPS!!!

FH met my parents in Alaska when we went there to visit! it was fun and just a little awkward when my mom bought us a full size bed.

Have you met them?
Yes ma'am. When I was 12 years old.

What were your feelings before meeting them?
I was 12. And I didn't start dating their son until I was 18.

How long into your relationship did you meet FHs family?
Negative 6 years.

Was it a scheduled meeting like dinner or just random?
Nope. It was after a Chorus concert in 7th grade
