How do I react to meeting my mom’s new boyfriend?
Do you want your mom to be happy? If yes, then give the guy half a chance. Remember that first impressions do make a difference. Watch and listen. Be polite. Over time you hopefully will see his true self.Does he have a full time job? How long has he worked there? Does he give you the creeps?Does he use foul words in his sentences? Does he drink a lot?Has he moved into her home? How long has /was his marriage? How many times?Look him up on Facebook, Google, etc.If all of the above leaves you with negative feelings, ask your mom to not make any hasty decisions. She is an adult and may make a horrible mistake or this guy could turn out to be the greatest gift from God/Lady Luck. Only time will tell.
What should I do? My girlfriend is going to meet my mom, and my mom has an accent. I’m afraid she will leave me.
If your girlfriend is the kind of person who is going to leave you due to your mother having an accent, then you don't want that girlfriend.Think about it… that shows predjudice. It shows bigotry. “But, I'm not talking about skin tone!” No, but one can be prejudice about things other than the color of your skin. If you say, assume that someone who speaks differently must be stupid, that's prejudice. If you assume that someone of a different gender, or comes from a different country, or different social group, etc; that's prejudice.Do you really want to spend your life with someone who would make fun of and hate/fear people who happen to be the slightest bit different from her?
I'm 99% sure my mom was married before meeting my dad. What do I do?
The ONLY reason why this is your business is if you are the biological child of that marriage. If you are not, then its not your business. There is nothing you can or SHOULD do,However, Id say that if you have a good relationship with mom, and it feels safe to bring it up, then go right ahead. Not in a judgy critical way- just a curious way.“Hey mom, what was the deal with the guy you married before Dad?”And see what she says.
Should I tell my mom that I'm going to meet my dad for the first time in my life?
“Should I tell my mom that I'm going to meet my dad for the first time in my life?”A lot depends on your age. If you're over 18, you can wait. Under 18, you should tell your mother.Were his arms broken? His legs? Was he completely paralyzed? Was he in a coma? Was he stuck in an iron lung? Did he get lost in a jungle? Perhaps he was caught in a glacier only to be recently set free due to global warming? Was he held captive in North Korea? Was he incarcerated this whole time? Was there a restraining order on him? Was he denied visitation rights? There must be some reason why you never heard from him all this time.As a parent, nothing would have kept me away from my kids, unless it was something like one of the above. I would not have moved out of state. Regardless, if I had, I would still have been in touch with my children.If you do meet with him. Go in with your eyes open, and accept no excuses. Don't buy into he tried writing to you, but his letters were always returned. Whatever he says as his excuse, all it would have taken would have been a call to his attorney who handled the divorce, unless he was denied visitation and/or joint custody.Take anything he tells you with a grain of salt.

Meeting my Chinese girlfriend's mother?
Whatever you do you won't be able to be Chinese. The proper forms of respect and etiquette in this situation would fill a book. Have your girlfriend teach you a polite greeting in Chinese and practice it until it is perfect. Also you should bow when you meet her (your girlfriend again). Yes, you should take her a gift. Gift-giving is very important in Asia. It doesn't have to be anything extravagant but it should be elegantly wrapped and well presented. You must, as you say, pay and be seen to pay. Insist on this if necessary. Remember that the mother is venerated in Chinese tradition so you would do well to bear that in mind in your dealings with her. Your girlfriend is lucky to have someone so considerate.
Meeting my bf's mom, do I give her a hug or a hand shake?
I think it depends on how long you've been dating her son. If just a little while maybe go for a handshake but delay it a bit to see what she is going to do.... don't be nervous just be confident. Your bf likes you enough to introduce you to his parents and they'll understand that you'll be feeling a bit nervous. Good luck! Answer mine? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...
Should I meet my boyfriend's baby mom?
We have been dating since July and I finally met his child in October. In the past couple months, the child (who is now 3) has been spending most Sundays at my house with my family due to his work schedule. My whole family loves her and is bonding with her. However, recently, my bf has been mentioning things about meeting her (which I REALLY don't want to do) but now because he said so, I feel pressure. I only ever see her when he is dropping his kid off, he never even stays in the house-they meet outside and take stuff in. My question is, should I meet her? how should I go about doing that? I find the meeting outside & dropping stuff off real quick situation to be a little awkward in so far as meeting somebody, especially a baby mom! Please help, this whole situation is making me nervous.
20 years later, my mom wants to meet me?
I'm 20 years old and I was adopted when I was very young. When I was 12 my adoptive parents told me that my birth mother gave me up for adoption because she was 13 when she got pregnant. I'm 20 now and up until two days ago I've NEVER heard from my mom. She found me and emailed me, and my adoptive mom confirmed that it was my real mom. I AM curious about my "real"mom, but I dont want my adoptive parents to think I care more about her than them. Should I meet my mom? Any opinions, etc would be REALLY appreciated! Thank you.
My mom wants me to meet her new boyfriend, but I'm not willing. What should I do?
I'm not willing.. what should I do? Sounds like you're torn between how you feel and your considerate nature towards your mothers feelings, which is perfectly normal. Why don't you compromise by saying to her that you want to meet him when things are very serious and they have been in a healthy loving relationship for a good while. I think you need to feel secure about that. You don't want to see her hurt by him.. and you don't want to exclude her in any way. Love is something we all need as humans . If she is truly happy, she wants to share in that with you. How could it be bad for you to have one more person in your life who not only cares for your mother, but possibly is there for you too?
