We don't have any problems yet.
Just be me, I don't think I'll ever be able to upstage some of the s.o.'s they've known.
My wanting to would help that out a bit. I'm a FIRM believer in the saying "God gives you family so you'll socialize with people you otherwise wouldn't." My mom thought that was a mean saying (the truth hurts) until I asked her, "Honestly, if I were a stranger, would you have given me the time of day?"
keep my mouth shut and become a MD, other than that i will never be good enough
Umm well food always bonds people!
I move 3,000+ miles to that end. I can only hope.
Lately, I've been taking an hour of vacation nearly every Friday to have lunch with my wife and her parents. As they age, lunch with them has become sometimes difficult for my wife, so I go with her once a week for 2 hours. In addition to providing support for my wife and sharing the burden of emotional care-giving, I'm getting to spend a lot of time with my in-laws whom I love because they raised the wonderful woman that I married.
Hurry up and get my JD lol
Don't show up. Or don't talk at all
Nog niet zover dat dat slecht gaat
I don't have a relationship with her family as of yet. But it is on the agenda .i will continue to love her unconditionally and hopefully her family will see that . I also need to seek more guidance from God not just to impress her family or her but for myself and the up bringing of my children .
be there always
Bring more to the plate financially
That's interesting. I wouldn't have thougtabout that. I think my family respects our relationship the way it is. They like that you're able to stay home and be such an awesome dad.

I think it's a clear and present unspoken criticism but I suppose I could be projecting

Yes. Once I physically meet them. But I feel a bond with his mother already.
