His Dad: maybe
His Mom: NO. With caps and all. Actually, lets make that a double NO. NONO. I think she thinks that if she ignores me long enough, I will mysteriously disappear.
It's kind of important to me for them to at least get a chance to know me and pass judgement, but then again, I know they can't change how my boyfriend feels about me, and I know their opinion ultimately does not matter.

It has its ups and downs. I think they approve more of me than their own son sometimes because they see the struggles he goes through. They know I'm good for him and not out to do anything of him wrong, only good. I know they come to me seeking help or assurances for their son, which makes me feel better they can trust me and feel secure in doing that. They know I want what's best for him and they just want him to realize that we really are happy, he's just scared to commit again.
I think they really like us together
Probably but I honestly don't care, she and I are all that matter
I havent heard them complain.
hahahaha next!
Haaaaa
Well yes and no
I think she knows it could be worse, so she pleasantly tolerates me. But she also is pretty sure that I'm far from ideal.

Lol. No! Im 4000 years too old. And im probably the wrong "type" in their eyes. (its only cos they dont me - altho I'll never be able to warp into an athletic teenager which Im sure they'd consider to be more appropriate)
