What about a girl who is invited to see her mother-in-low? I think, things may different! "The mother-in-law will gradually like her son-in-law as time passes by" will be a far-reaching task! Do u think so?

BWINKS has offered good advice. One thing you need pay attention is "Don't be lazy!" After dining with their families, please help them clean the table and the floor. A female friend of mine told me about her first boyfriend. He gave her parents bad impression. He was the only child at his family and was spoiled by his parents. After finishing dinner with his GF's parents, he did nothing except sitting steadly on the sofa. When he got back home, the girl's mom told her daughter to break up with him. The girl wasn't willing to do this but her mom insisted. Finally, they were not together.

I don't think it is a good advice, it only leaves her mom a bad impression too, not easy-going at all, if she want to know the boy more privately. Be honest, see to her eyes during your talk.

If you don't know how to "cope with" your girlfriend's parents, please buy some tips or google to find out how other guys deal with their girl's mother.

Carlos Your wife and your mother-in-law are very lucky to have such a good husband and son-in-law.

Haha, Marrie, seems that the first visit to his mother-in-low is the most important thing so far in my life, except what for his own the great expectations. But for girls, things go the same, even more because in Chinese tradition, relation between mother-in-low and the daughter-in-low is hardly handled. and they are supposed to live together for the rest life. So, girls would be terribly nervous when visit her mother-in-low for the first time.

To be honest I must admit that although I get along well with my mother-in-law, there was a little joke because we live 8000 km away from her. We have planned that after my retirement we will move to Nanning but I would not mind if we could move there tomorrow. Or yesterday... Carlos

Excellent analogy. Girls like me also are nervous to see future BF's parents. Taking exams are much easier. If you fail, you can take it again next year. However, if you fail to please your possible mother-in-law, you are unlikely to have a second chance.

Good luck to boys and girls!
