[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like you need to increase your tolerance for social awkwardness. It is fine to show up empty handed if that's what your DH wants to do. Just let the awkwardness roll over you and it will fade away. In marriage, you need to realize that the manners and social norms of your family of origin are one culture, and you may have married into a family with different norms and that's okay. Not everyone is into gifts, or greeting cards, or whatever. Accept that it's his family and being empty-handed is perfectly fine and not rude. Stop trying to do your culture. When in Rome, right?[/quote] NP-Yes, the idea of receiving guests and having paper plates horrifies me. I was raised setting a beautiful table with flowers, silverware. It took me 20 years but last week I served on paper plates. My mil was thrilled about the paper plates and commented it's so much better.[/quote]
