iamyemiakins:
SEVEN THINGS YOU SHOULD NOT DO WHEN MEETING YOUR PARTNER'S PARENTS FOR THE FIRST TIME.

This is a major step in a relationship, so the first impression can be a lasting impression, believe me when I say that.

1. PLAYING WITH YOUR PHONE

Avoid being on your phone, texting, checking your mail, facebooking or chatting. Sometimes most of us do it unknowingly. It is true some chicks do that just to keep themselves busy, but your spouse parents might feel dismissed and think you are not interested in getting to know them, especially, So avoid your phone at that first time.

2. LIE TO MAKE YOURSELF LOOK GOOD

Being fake instead of who you truly are is a mistake that can upset your partner's parents, and even your partner. Remember, they may get to know who you are later or in your absence, and it could really hurt your relationship. If you have told your partner the truth about you and your partner has accepted the kind of person you are, his/her parents should be able to do same. So there is no need of lying to attract their likeness.

3. BRINGING UP A CONTROVERSIAL TOPIC FOR DISCUSSION

Please don't bring up a topic like Religion, Politics, or s3x for discussion, even if you know that your believe are in line with your partner's parents. Some people still consider it bad for bringing up such topic for discussion before them. Concentrate on getting to know them more rather than those topics. If they keep discussing such topic among themselves, do more of listening.

4. DON'T GIVE LONG SPEECHES, MAKE YOUR SPEECHES BRIEF

Despite the fact that they are very interested in getting to know you, they also do not want to spend the entire time listening to your life story. Don't tell them stories about how your father divorced your mother when you were a teenager, how your community people burnt a woman to ashes for insulting her hubby, and all that. Make your speeches brief and interesting.

5. PUBLIC DISPLAY AFFECTION

Yes, public display of affection can be wonderful,but there is appropriate time for it. This does not mean you have to become cold, distant and robotic. Feel relaxed, interact with them gently, smile and be friendly, but make it neutral, rather than behaving as if you are desperate to have them as in laws.

6. DON'T FINISH ANY FOOD GIVEN TO YOU

Whether the food is small or plenty, and no matter how delicious it is. Never ask for alcohol if you are asked to make a choice of drink. Don't be carried away. This is very important.

7. DON'T PASS THE NIGHT THERE

No matter the persuation, don't pass the night in their house on your first day of visit.

Never give your INLAWs the impression that you lack the right purpose, vision, and the passion to succeed in life. A father will seldom hand his daughter to a man who does not know where he is going.

Richdad50 once said in one of his post that a man's selling point is not only how well he portrays his current state but his depiction of his future desired state.

Please, for parents in Abuja that would need a good Mathematics, English, Economics, Commerce and Accounting teacher for their wards this period, I am at your service. I'd only be available to take your wards 4-6 hours on Saturdays and Sundays as I work till late on week days.

Worry less about the Covid-19 pandemic as I could organise online classes or come to your location while observing the following:
1. Social distancing;
2. Use of the recommended face mask;
3. Always with my hand sanitizer.

I work as an Auditor with a private company but I am passionate about teaching and will still go back to teaching much later.

For university students studying Economics too, you are not left out as Economics is my area of strength. smiley

You can contact/whatsapp me on this number 08146928271. Trust me, your child wouldn't remain the same academically and morally after an encounter.

Op on what capacity are you bringing up these your Do Not ?

Well Op hear me and hear me good ...if you're marrying from a family where the woman is approaching menopause if you like carry your side chicks come, the lady's family will cares less

Secondly if you are marrying a lady that is so troublesome to the family...if you like carry 10 phones dey answer calls like mtn customer care, the girl's parent will look the other way and be praying you don't get to know about the girl and change your mind.

Lastly but not the least if you are a money bag you can do all those things you listed there and the calls of our inlaw!, our inlaw!! will fill the air even before the introduction proper.
Buhahahahahahahaha

I totally disagree with you. our in-laws have passed the night in our house and we were very happy. he is also living up as in-law so no big deal. we chat and played like family.

I disagree with you on No: 7
You didn't put into consideration that sometimes they might live in a different state from both you and your partner; example: traveling to Port Harcourt from Abuja to meet with your partner's parents, are you saying that it is possible to leave same day and not spend the night there especially if you are a lady....?
Re: Things You Should Not Do When Meeting Your Partner's Parents For The First Time by CrazyOptimist: 4:34pm On May 21, 2020
I disagree with NUMBER 6 .

You must eat everything and lick your plate with your tongue even if the soup isn't sweet. After this, ask for more and even take away. Then you look the girl's dad in the eye and say, "chaii... daddy you are enjoying o". Then look at the mum and say, " Mummy this is the sweetest food I've ever eaten". My brother you don pass 80% already.
