Love Question 55
Hello and welcome to this week’s installment of love questions.
With this blog, I have talked about all kinds of things. Baby brain, sex, personal space, vacations, time spent apart… All sorts of stuff. (Do I need to direct you back to the series I did on sex? I promise I have written about it.)
However, there are two things I can’t write about here because I don’t have the experience.
The first topic is children. I’ve never even been pregnant (though we’ve had a few “scares”), so I look to my wonderful friend Jenera to help me out with posts when it comes to things I’d like to know about motherhood.
The second topic isn’t a ‘not yet’ topic - it’s a ‘not ever’ topic. In-laws. I have never met a single in-law of mine and Mr. JM has never met a single in-law of his. He divorced his family long before he met me and my family is across the world (and we have no intention of seeing them any time soon).
So, though I’d love to talk on the subject of in-laws, I simply don’t and won’t have the experience.
This week I’m wondering:
What was it like when you were introduced to your significant other’s parents?
(If you’re not with anyone at the moment, feel free to call on past relationships.)
If you do answer on your blog, please spread the link love and link to:
Aud from Mom.Dad.Chat
Jenera at Just Me
And, of course, I always appreciate your links to me.
Don’t forget to leave me a link in the comments to your response.
Have fun!

Oy vey. My experiences were…weird.
I first ‘met’ his mother via a phone call where she was telling me he was in prison and would like me to write to him. I met her in person after we’d been married two years and I wanted to kill her within in 10 seconds.
I met his ‘aunt’ (who is actually his mom’s ex wife?) the day we got married when we met up for lunch.
I met his dad and step mom when we’d been married for about three months. It went okay except that they didn’t think I was going to stick around.
Considering the way we got together and got married, I guess it went okay. I don’t much care for the inlaws with the exception of the ‘aunt’ because she’s been more of a mom than his real mom.
