I've NEVER met my Mother-in-Law & I've been married 5 years!

Bwahahaha - good luck! Some people would say you were lucky to have managed five whole years of marriage without having met your MIL! I hope she's a lovely lady, and you are able to start a long-lasting friendship. It will certainly make life a lot easier in the future if you are kindred spirits!

Best of luck to you with meeting your mother in law. Just be yourself I am sure it will all work out fine. It might be a good idea to ask your husband about any customs or possible offensive behaviors from his country that you should know about so you don't make any errors. I am sure it will go really well.

Wow.. what a day it will be when you meet her. I bet you are excited and nervous all the same time. I know when one marries someone from another country and their family remains there.. there are lot of voids in one's life. My step-father's family ..alot of them .. were in Puerto Rico..including his Mother and daughter from another marriage..I think that was hard for him.

My husband and I have been married 13 years and I haven't met his dad. I have met everyone on his mom's side along with family members on his step dad's side. On his dad's side, I have only met his grandfather which was a very sweet man. I have talked to my father-in-law on the phone and shared emails back and forth. My husbands family lives on the west coast, while we live in the South. So seeing them is a financial burden all the time, especially with his dad in California, and his mom in Washington St.

That's really a big day koalatbs. Good luck to you and i hope everything will be ok. I am also married but i havent seen my mother in law yet. I dont know if i will be seeing her soon. She is staying abroad and didnt attend the wedding. I am ok with it, but i also like to meet her someday. Be cool, happy mylotting and smile always!

Hey, how's your first meet with your in-laws? Your story sounds incredible for me and I bet this seldom happens on ordinary couples. Did your husband feel a little uncomfortable at your wedding without his parents being present? Anyway, it's really not easy for you and your mother-in-law to meet together. I would be interested to hear what had happened at the airport.

Good luck to you. I'd be so nervous if I were you. If you're like me, you shouldn't eat too much before you meat her. Lest something untoward happen, which would (or course) be mortifying. Make sure to take out the wedding album, video, and maybe model your dress (every mama wants to see the girl her little boy marries in THAT dress, even 5 years after the fact).

You will do just fine. You have met her by the time I read this and replied. But I wish you luck anyway. I'm sure your moth-in-law will like you as much as we do. She will lve you and know why her son loves you. Just be you dear and don't worry.

by now you have met her and I hope everything went well! I would say that is would be scary not meeting the mother of your hubby! I would be very nervous! Good luck and I hope things went very well!

I know you are nervous about it, but just try to relax. I am sure things will go just fine. My husband is from South America but we are in the United States. I met his mother and father here as they lived in the United States but actually we were married over 12 years when I finally made it down to Argentina to meet his aunts and uncles and cousins down there. And you know what? They all liked me! So, don't worry about it. It sill be just fine. You have been married for 5 years now so you must be making her son happy or you would not be together any more. I hope that helps. Good luck! Have a great day and happy myLotting!!!

Hi koalatbs, Wow you were lucky lol, I hope your mother-in-law is very nice and I hope she will get on with you,so I wish you all the luck. Have a great time. Tamara

Hang in there. That is tough but everything will be just fine. Good luck - I'm sure it will be fine.

(your post says it was a day ago so your mother in law is probably already there) I am half American, Half Palestinian with family who live in Jordan, and if your in laws are anything like my family than they will be wonderful! They treat my mother (their daughter in law) like a queen. Arabs are very generous, kind and warm hearted, but like every group of people there is a bad apple in the bunch! I hope you enjoy your mother in law's visit. Dont be surprised is she finds the urge to do things around the house and cook ! Its just the way they are and they only have the best of intentions :) Best of wishes and have fun !!!

My husband and I have been married ten years and have 4 kids together. I have never met my mother in law yet either. She lives in Syria. I have talked to her on the phone. I have met his dad twice. I was so nervous. Making sure the house was spotless and such. Plus the language and culture difference I was worried about. We had a few little spats, but nothing big. Am I am sure that when I meet his mom I will be happy but very nervous too. Good luck, I hope everything goes well. Just try to be you and make her feel welcomed.

Wow,I do hope she is a sweetheart of a mother in law and not the dragon I got as one..Okay this is a day later...so how was she? Is she a sweetheart or dragon or a bit of both?

Hi Jill, Best of luck on meeting your in-law..I wish you guys will have a great time upon meeting. Your right, when I first read the title of your discussion I thought there's something between your husband and his mother but when I read the whole discussion I was enlightened. I wish you have fun with your in-law tomorrow.

Lucky you! Seriously, lucky you! That woman is the person that made your husband what he is today so you'll probably love her. Having a MIL is like getting another mom but without all the growing up problems.

I can not believe you married this man without meeting his parents! That is so amazing. I would have wanted to know who they were and what they were like and all about any siblings and so many other things. This is so amazing!

thats so cool... i wish i dont get to meet my mother in law for such a long time... kiddin... ;) all the best for tomorrow... no wonder ur nervous... but i can assure u one thing... they'd be more nervous than u... so u can go confident... :D and yeah... have a great time...

I have been with my husband for 3 yrs, married for 2 months....he has never met my mother. My sister has been with her husband for 8 yrs, married 5 yrs and my BIL has never met our mother....we like it this way...... Unfortunately I know the day will come. ood luck to you my friend.
