How did your parents meet?

They grew up together in the same small hometown. Their parents - my grandparents - were friends and they used to play together as friends.\nWhen they got older my mother moved away to find work at a hospital as a nurse-aide, but she used to go back home as often as she could.\nMy father fell in love with my mother and vice versa .. I think it was a gradual thing for both of them ... and he asked her to marry him by proposing in front of his and her family at a get-together.\nMy mother accepted.\nThey're still together.

My mom met one, once.\n\nShe and my dad used to bring food to this old lady, Ms. Florence, who was about 90. They'd do things like get her turnips mashed with potatoes. When she died, she went and said good bye to my Mom. She knew Miss Florence had died before my great great aunt called with the news. Kind of bizarre.

My mom set me up on a blind date with my fiance. She met him and called me at work to say she met the man for me. She set up a "friendly" meeting for us with my sister and his cousin that night and we both knew instantly that we had a connection. Less than two years later we got engaged and now we are planning a wedding for this August. =)

My parents were amazing in so many ways. My mother has passed, but her best quality as a parent was her constant "interest." She always took a genuine interest in all that I did, all that I thought, all that I felt. She was a great communicator. She talked to me about everything and encouraged me to voice how I felt about things. She took an interest which showed me just how dearly she loved me. When you are in those adolescent years and your parents talk and talk to you and question this and that and so want to take an interest in your life, most kids just want to blow them off. Because my mom had always communicated with me like this from an early early age, I wasn't foreign to it. Therefore, during the "wonder years" I shared with her more than I believe most kids do. That helped us get through the tough times. It also taught me how to be a parent. My daughter is almost 13 and we talk like best friends. I have to thank my mom for this. Even though she never got to meet her grandchildren, she'd be sooo proud of them! This was such an awesome question.........thank you for making me think of her. Coincidentally.....yesterday was her birthday so she was on my mind all day. I'm so glad I got a chance to tell some people about her. :)

Plan some sort of outing for the four of you.  When I introduced my parents to my boyfriend last summer, the four of us spent the day on the lake on my dad's sailboat.  This was the perfect place for them to meet him, because my boyfriend also has a sailboat.  It gave him and my father a lot to talk about because they have so much in common.  (My dad's the only one I was worried about!  But my mom loves him too!)\n\nYou could also all go out for dinner, or you could make dinner for everyone at your house.

There's a mircale hapenning to me every week. But one that's really outstanding is that my parents never got along. Their marriage was a total wreck. In my childhood I used to see my parents fight and my mom full of brewses and everything. they eventually divorced. Two moths after i accepted Jesus as Savior, I started praying for them, and in 2 weeks they started getting along, and ever since (it's been 4 yrs now)we've been living together and they get along alot better than married couples. God be glorious!

Let your parent meet the person and wait a day or two and asked them if they like them or not! About married don't jump into married unless u r sure u r ready for it.

Sometimes it's a good idea to let your Boyfriend meet your parents before you actually go on a date with them (just to assure them that you'll be fine with him)\n\nNext, make sure you tell her about what you guys did, it'll help your parents trust you more if they know what you've done in the past and will be a little better at not holding you back.\n\nNext, don't date people your parent's wouldn't approve of.\n\nAnd if it all fails and your parents don't approve of your date, have your date come over to your house and hang out for a while under your parent's supervision. Most parent's would rather you be under their supervision rather than out there with another guy.

My mother-in-law, whom we help support financially, lives within 5 miles of us and has seen our kids only a handful of times. My parents, on the other hand, have gone WAY out of their way to build a relationship with my girls.\n\nI try to put some perspective on it. I mean, just because the kids are the center of MY life doesn't mean they have to be the center of anyone else's. And maybe it's better that the relationships they DO have are positive and loving.\n\nBut it's still a hard thing.\n\nYou don't give any details, so I don't fully understand the circumstances. You could offer to bring the kids to them, or to meet in some neutral place, like a playground or a restaurant. Or you could send photos and drawings and notes. And if that doesn't interest them, then you might just have to accept that your kids may not ever know your step parents the way you wish they did.\n\nTry not to be bitter about it. Just be matter-of-fact when the kids ask about it. (Little ones are so perceptive, and you don't want to load them up with a bunch of baggage in any case, but especially if your step parents eventually step back into their lives, know what I mean?)
