Meeting the Parents
We all come across this...
When is it the right time to meet the parents?
How do you even PREPARE for this?
Horror stories? Great stories?
I know you have some...bring it :)
How did YOU enter the circle of trust? How about your (ex)S.O.?

My boyfriend's mom got to know me by reading my blog. It was actually a lot easier when we met in person. Which happened to be because we were attending his dad's funeral.
It was one of the more awkward moments in my life.

Wow...that is pretty awkward.
My boyfriend's mom knows about my blog (Basically because he tells her about them) but I'd be mortified if she actually read it.

My husband and I were high school sweet hearts. So I meet his parents the first week we started dating since we hung out at his house.
my horror story is my mother in law (mil). We are great now but in the beginning it was a little rough. Dave, my now husband, had only been broken up with his gf for a few weeks before we started dating. He had been with his last gf for a little over a year. When she came over she would do his homework, chores, wash the dishes etc. Not what a typicals gf does. Then I come into the picture and do none of that. The one day my mil was having a bad day and she couldn't find anything and the house was a mess. She started screaming and said something to Dave along the lines of why could you get back with Sarah (his ex).

Ick. That's even tougher to handle when you're a teenager. But it sounds like she just wanted another kid to do chores around the house.

The first time I meet my Hubby's mom we were in the basement hanging out (making out), and we thought we had the house to ourselves. All of a sudden we hear someone coming down the stairs. Hubby jumps off me (sort of) and I look up to see her standing over me with a little boy on her hip (my now nephew who was one at the time). Nevertheless I was mortified by this being our first ever meeting. And it has gone down hill ever since. I don't think she has forgotten that after nine years...

Haha, oh wow...
Yeah, that's always been one of my biggest fears. I still get shy around my boyfriend's parents, even if he just kisses me on the cheek.

Since my girl and I were long distance, we met each others parents first over live chat. ^_^
The first time I talked to her mom, we basically said hello, chatted a little bit about various things and ended the convo. Then we started e-mailing and soon we chatted on the phone once or twice a month.
Same with my girl and my mom. They talked through live chat, then e-mail and then the phone. They actually talked on the phone a LOT and my mom even knew about my engagement ring. And she didn't tell me! XD ^_^
As for face-to-face, I flew out here to meet my girl (who was then my fiancee) not even a month after my 18th b-day. What we did, was I flew out here, then the very next day we all took a trip in her parents motor home to various national parks, so I could see the beauty of it all and experience a family vacation!
As for my girl, she never had the chance to meet my mom face-to-face, because my mom couldn't travel for our wedding and she died not even a month after we got married. It still meant so much to us that she got to at least see the wedding and that she told us how happy she was for us and that she could tell we truly deeply loved each other. My wife has yet to meet my dad, because to be honest, I don't have much to do with him. She did meet my siblings last year though! We went to Vegas to hang out with them. ^_^

I'm sorry to hear about your loss but I am very glad that she could see the wedding!

Oh, well I did forget something.
As we were long distance, I had to fly across the country to meet my fiancee (now wife.) I went out shopping, got tons of new clothing before the trip, etc.
Anyway, whether it was from my shopping outing or from someone on the plane, I got HORRIBLY sick.
My wife and I were in her parents car and I was feeling somewhat okay, but "woozy" I figured the wooziness was from the plane ride. (Plane ride? Is that right?)
Her parents stopped to get all of us fast food to go and then we went to my wife and her parents house.
As I walked into the family room, I was stumbling. Everywhere. No one knew what was wrong with me! I didn't even know what was wrong. I was barely even "there."
I ate one bite of my food. So unlike me. So then my wife and I went to go play a video game (major geek, I am.) I couldn't play. At all. We had played games via the net for four years, so my wife had no idea what was up.
I couldn't walk, was slurring, couldn't game. No one could figure out what was wrong with me, not even I knew what was going on. So my wife helped me. She made me some warm food, told me to lay down and relax, etc.
Anyway, I figured I was tired. So we left early in the morning for our trip, as I felt better. Half way to the park (which was like, four-ish hours in) I felt HORRIBLE. Turn's out I had a very, very high fever. So my first face-to-face meeting was spent with my wife taking amazing care of me and her parents helping me feel better.
Oh and I gave the cold to my wife. >.
