Meeting the boyfriend's mum tonight! eek!

[CandyAnne]

He sprung this on me last night - a meal with the mother tonight. I can't complain or back out because I've been laying on the pressure to meet family for the past few weeks.
Any tips or advice? She sounds pretty down to earth, laid back and fun but still ... It's the mother!

Relax, be yourself, don't get pissed, don't grope her son, don't wear an outfit that makes your boobs/ bum hang out. Perhaps ask your bf if you and she have interests in common - books etc so you have a conversation start point when he goes to the loo. Remember, she's probably a bit nervous too! And enjoy yourself, your bf must really like you if he's introducing you to mum.

Have fun

Just relax and be yourself, but take note how your bf treats his mum. It will give you some indication of how he will treat you in years to come! If he is kind and helpful, offers to do the dishes etc he's a keeper. If he loafs about expecting to be waited on hand and foot (and his mother encourages this), walk on by!

Be yourself, be courteous and calm down ffs. She may be 'the mother' but she's just a woman like anyone else. Put her on some daft pedestal, build up your expectations, put on a show or think she has to get special treatment and you're setting yourself up for disappointment.

Aww you'll be fine :)

Have fun
