It’s one of those things that’s inevitable when it comes to relationships taking a serious turn — you’re bound to meet the family.
Gah.
It’s stressful. You’ll find yourself torn between being yourself and making a move to impress the folks.
It’s bad enough that you have to get used to an expectant public, meeting his or her friends, him or her meeting yours and then it’ll be time to mingle with the family.
How to deal
- Make yourself presentable.
- Don’t be afraid to speak up.
- There’s no harm in being polite and courteous.
- Let them know that he or she IS special to you.
- Smiling works, too.
- And yea, BREATHE.
It’s the basics that really matter. It’ll definitely see you through it.
