I never write this blog with the idea that anyone actually is listening but my computer. But I suppose that's how cyberspace works. You put it out there and it's there. This blog is that silent listener for me. It's my horrendously underpaid psychiatrist.

Meeting the Parents


I have never been so relaxed about bringing a guy to meet my parents in my life. After only dating for 2 months, I am going to bring my boyfriend down to Thanksgiving in Arizona to celebrate with just my parents and me. They will all be meeting each other for the first time ever.

But I think that we're all in a good place. I'm ready for love and truly believe I've found it in an excellent partner, I think my boyfriend fully believes in us and is confident in where the relationship is headed, and I think my parents are just happy for me that I've finally found someone who cherishes me so much and makes me feel so supported and secure.

In fact, I think the 4 days that we are together are going to go really well. In my ideal world, my parents will love him as much as I do and he'll love them as much as I do. I mean, I'm aware that this is not really possible. But I really think they could enjoy each other's company quite a bit.

Here's the players:

My dad: can come across as quiet and intimidating
My mom: asks a lot of probing questions
My boyfriend: loves to make puns

Yet, somehow, I think this mixture is totally going to work.
