The end of December is the time of heavy testing by corporate parties, the search for gifts and chaos in the office. It is possible that another one will add one more thing: some can decide that the new year is the perfect time to present you with your family. Exhaled and begin to prepare for this fateful meeting.
Specify composition
Where are you dragging - for an interview with an eye on the eye or a family dinner with the participation of second-hand grandmothers and cousins of Devories? In fact, both options are so-so - in the first case, be ready for increased attention to your person, in the second - to a rather tiring event and attempts to remember the names of all relatives. But in any case, warned - it means armed.
Ask for reinforcements
If you doubt that you can fall in love with the threshold, including the pug, honestly admit the guy that you will be somewhat uncomfortable and ask him not to leave you alone with his family.
Study
If, praise the heavens, his parents are present in social networks, do not feel it for labor to dig in their accounts to find out in advance who you have to deal with. If not, take advantage of the old good analog way - ask him about his mother with dad, find out at least where they come from, what the fun are doing. And look in advance the points of contact - suddenly you too, from Omsk and also love alloys on mountain rivers (you never know).
Bring bribery
Some strand like a box of good chocolate or wine bottle (if his parents are not activists of sobriety society) - a good start. You still have other people's people with each other, and no matter how strong the bonds bind you with their bloodstream. Therefore, such an official mark of attention and gratitude for the invitation will be in cash.
Keep hands with yourself
How he is dear to you, show at home. In the presence of his parents, it is better to refrain from the manifestations of tenderness, even behind the hands it is better not to stay. Moms who like to watch, as an outsider, Milifies with her son, is less than a giant panda.
Do not touch the explosive topics
Crimea, Syria and Garant can be discussed with friends. Religious questions too. As well as other topics that can turn a rino dinner into fierce Mahalovo candelabras. Perhaps his parents themselves will raise these topics - then just deftly go away from them and in no case have a climb arguing, even if their views seem to you with Neanderthal and blatants. You are not here in order to turn them into your faith or to defeat the fight.
Do not drink
You never know how a para-triple of glasses will show themselves in such a nervous situation. By the way, it's not worth smoking either, even if his parents seem to be normally to this - at least, not at the first meeting with them. They suffer without cigarettes - the nicotine plaster is adjusted.
