'In Laws' meeting each other....

Although I love my D'sIL dearly I really don't wish to bond with their parents!! I once sat in a very small room with one set after our GD was born and after an initial curt nod she acted as if we weren't in the room and didn't speak once, it was so embarrassing especially as I think I am completely normal and approachable!! I can speak in sentences and everything!! Let them met when they have to, you don't need to engineer a meeting for them.

Got to say mine and my Fiancee's parents have all met and aswell as both our brothers and all is fine. With that our parents are more or less interchangable and do share ways of life and work ethics etc, as it is our mums have been out shopping together.

With that we have 2 families who do keep families close and they both see it as an extension of the family rather than there son's/daugther's other halfs family.

In short there is no right or wrongs here.

My parents have met my fiance's parents twice- once at my sister's wedding and then at my significant birthday. I did offer to introduce them sooner when we agreed to move in together but my dad refused to meet up for a meal as he thought it would be awkard and that that they would both meet in time.

Why don't you chat to your parents about this to see what they would prefer? I know what I preferred differed from my parent's views.

Well, you can bet that the Waless and the Middletons won't be meeting too often for cosy dinner parties !
