COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good morning all ! Its been a little while since ive been on.
I met my boyfriends parents tuesday. It went well. We went grocery shopping and made/had dinner and all. They're a fun family. And i got to see baby pictures of my boyfriend. Cheeks were never made chubbier ! Haha. His mom asked when we we were going to get married so I'm sure im approved and accepted.
Hope everyone is well. Looks like John is going on vacation?

Hi, Linhdan.
Glad the family meeting went well, they can be potential minefields.
I destroyed all pics of me as a child many years ago to avoid your chap's embarrassment.
John is going to meet me in Malaga.
So have pity on the poor fellow.

THE most difficult meet ever!!! glad all went well . yip, im of to meet the lord of the cold dark room!!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I shall pack accordingly.

Seriously, it's likely to be in the 40's so cool clothing (as in temperature not 'cool dude') would be wise.

I remember going through that, including the baby photos, with my now in-laws. We kept them waiting for 5 years before we got married. Mum-in-law was dropping ever less subtle hints However, we needed to save up to pay for the wedding as neither set of parents could afford it.

As soon as we got married they started on grandchildren. I remember getting quite cross with them about it They had to wait another 3 years for us to afford something bigger than a 1 bedroom shoebox apartment for that.

Hi. That sounds a lot like in-laws in the Arab World. They begin with marriage, then children and if that takes long their daughter-iin-law is in for trouble. If on the other hand they see a grandchild after a year, ok if and only if the baby is a BOY . If the baby is a girl, the poor wife is in for yet more trouble, and WARS may even begin!

Hi John. Enjoy yourself! And keep in touch with CDR.

we will

I think my mum in law may have been an arab in a previous life.

I produced a daughter first, then her other son's wife had 2 daughters. She was so happy when our second child was a boy!

Fortunately the the three female grandchildren find their grand-mother's favouritism towards the only boy hilarious. There's no land or inheritance at stake so there's no point getting grumpy.

Some sun cream might be useful too - but not too big if you only have hand luggage

Don't worry, she will insist on it!
She knows all the best restaurants.

'Tis, sadly, largely true, but times they are a changing.
My neighbour has a little girl, a three year old and they cannot afford another child for a while, he is illiterate and currently unemployed. But he dotes on his girl and so does his wife. And his family are very supportive, i have heard nothing but praise and love. (in this case, at least.)

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

My snow white epidermis will stay covered!
