Getting to know your boyfriend's parents is, of course, a serious test for a young girl. But mothers who are preparing to meet the chosen one of their son should thoroughly prepare for this event.
Instructions
Step 1
Have dinner and invite your son's girlfriend to it. After all, dinner is a tradition established in our society for a long time, and besides, it is he who creates the most suitable atmosphere for acquaintance.
Step 2
Create the impression that this is an ordinary dinner with a small family circle. Do not inflate a regional event out of it and do not try to show off in front of your son's girlfriend. Be sure that she (who is not less worried, but more than yours) will at least embarrass her, if not scare her away.
Step 3
In order not to get into an embarrassing situation by asking some incorrect question or touching on a topic that is too delicate for a guest, ask your son to tell you about his girlfriend right before the very acquaintance. Perhaps she turns out to be a vegetarian or it turns out that the girl does not like talking about politics, because her father is very upset by failure in the political arena, etc.
Step 4
Think in advance about a rough list of topics on which you could talk with your son's girlfriend, otherwise after questions about her parents and how and when she graduated from school, an awkward pause may hang at the table. But let them concern not only the girl herself and her relatives, so that the dinner-acquaintance does not turn into an interview, which will have to end with the words "We will call you if you suit us."
Step 5
At dinner, don't be a fan of your own son to boost his popularity. It is not at all necessary to talk about how old your "clever son" began to read, all the more it is not necessary to list all his school awards. Be sure that if the girl agreed to such a serious step as meeting her parents, then she has rather serious feelings for your son.
