Parents Meet The Parents Session

Featured Replies

My HTB parents & my parents will be meeting with weekend! First time meeting together, don't know why but we are sooooooo nervous.

Anything we should take note? How to break the ice between both side? *stres.........*

Just make sure dun have that kind of situation in HK serials where they met downstairs or at toilet then quarrel before coming into the room!! *touchwood*

Why not try to find similiar topics/hobbies that both parents like, eg fathers play golf, or both mums also like the fishhead bee hoon at Holland, etc. Then when sit down together you can start something like, "Mum, Mrs xxx also like the fishhead been hoon one leh!" If they are savvy enough they will know how to continue the topic themselves...

be natural bah. if yr parents r liberal, can tok kind, then b4 the meet up, share with them stories. like Mr and Mrs so and so likes what de do what de etc lor....

but mostly such meet up usually is SILENCE de hhaha

too awkard to sae anytg

find out what both parties likes to eat, go to a mutual restuarant will helps!

Mutual agree within yourself and your HTB, pass the message back to indiidual parent "On the first session try not to discuss on wedding stuff. Do not talk $$," Both you will further disccuss on it later by passing message within you two". A meetup at the female house or resturant will do.

Thank you all for the advice! :bangwall: I will take note... :unsure:

I agree with TPY....1st meeting avoid such touchy topics....wait till everyone's comfortable with each other liao then arrange to meet up 2nd time to talk about wedding stuff.

My 1st parents-meet-parents was during our ROM and when we were sitting down having our buffet lunch, my parents and his parents suddenly talked about wedding ping li stuff....u can't imagine how stressed we were and awkward at the table...but luckily everything turned out amicably....but it's good to let each other's side parents know what to expect so that they won't be caught by surprise.

My case was quite similar to yours, Air. My parents met up with my boy's parents over the food tasting dinner. They started off talking about the dishes and slowly approached the topic.. Like yours, everything turned out great..

But that was not their 1st meet up. They 1st met up when we went to view our empty flat. :)
