9 Things To Know When Meeting Your Partner’s Parents by 24hoursreporter: 11:50am On Nov 22, 2018
Meeting your partner’s parents is a major step in your relationship, thus creating a good first impression is something you must do. As intimidating as meeting your partner’s parents can be, you still need to comport yourself.

The first impression you create when dealing with your potential in-laws can be a lasting impression. So, as you are meeting your soulmate’s parents, below are some of the things you should know.

9 Things To Know When Meeting Your Partner’s Parents

#1. Reduce Public Display Of Affection

When you are visiting your partner’s parents for the first time, you need to reduce the public display of affection. You don’t need to kiss her in the presence of her parents to show that you love her.



Trust African parents, the way they will look at you will definitely send a message. So, be moderate in displaying your affection for your partner, when you are with his/her parents.

#2. Try Not To Be Drunk When You Are Meeting Them

No matter how addicted you are to alcohol, try to be clean when you are meeting your soulmate’s parents. Try to be in your right senses and stay away from anything that will intoxicate you including alcohol.

#3. Don’t Discuss Controversial Topics Like Sex, Politics or Religion

Discussing topics like sex, religion or politics can ruin everything in your Partner’s parents home. It is always better to stay off controversial topics to be on the safer side.

For instance, your Partner’s dad may be an ardent supporter of Buhari and the atmosphere will be tense if you pledge your support for Atiku in his house. You see why it is not advisable to discuss politics.

#4. Don’t Lie Or Exaggerate To Impress Them

One of the things to know when meeting your partners’ parents is not to lie or exaggerate to impress them. Be real and don’t be fake as the truth will always be exposed.

After all, when the wind blows, the anus of the hen will be open. So, be plain and allow them to accept you the way you are.

#5. Don’t Press Your Phone When You Are With Them

It is a sign of disrespect to be pressing your phones and chatting while meeting your partner’s parents for the first time. You can always press the pone later, but when you are with them, comport yourself.

#6. Don’t Tell Inappropriate, Sexually Or Religious Insensitive Jokes

You may want to sound funny and jovial but tell rational jokes. As a matter of fact, try to refrain from inappropriate, sexually or religious insensitive jokes. This may create a very wrong impression about you.

#7. Offer To Help Them With House Chores

Ladies, you really need to drop your slay queen behavior when you are with your man’s parents. In fact, you have to behave like a wife material and prove to them that you are the right person for their son.

Offer to assist with the cooking or help wash the dishes in the kitchen. Little gesture like this can create a lasting impression.

#8. Dress Smart

You need to look good and smart when you are meeting your partner’s parents for the first time. It goes a long way to say a lot about you. So, dress smartly as you will definitely be addressed the way you dressed.

#9. Don’t Be Completely Quiet

Try not to be bored; you can bring up an interesting conversation provided the topic is not controversial.

I'm not offering to do any house chores, I'm not their maid. If they won't marry, they should forget it.

#5. Don’t Press Your Phone When You Are With Them

I totally approve of everything listed. Young Men should watch-out for No 5. It is the most disrespectful of all yet the least significant to the Suitor.

You can act yourself but yourself might be stupid. Learn to improve on your character and never depend on yourself 'only' to save what is left of your foolishness.

Good luck in finding a wife. You may never find a 'good thing' with this mentality.

Dear lowPEAK
Never act yourself always but act on that good picture of yourself. There is enough inert folly in everyone but the continuous act of acting on your positive dream-self brings to reality an improved 'you'.
