[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes! Will never forget the first time I visited DH's family and at dinner no one said a word. I couldn't believe it. In my family you are lucky to get a word in and we have big boisterous meals, almost couldn't marry him for this reason. Sadly, I am used to it now. But still find it weird.

They also sit around and watch tv and don't speak. This still blows my mind. The few times my family get s together during the year we actually talk to one another. I chalk it up to being a Midwestern thing.[/quote]

I thought it was more of a waspy upper class northeast thing.

Midwesterners tend to be very friendly.

Maybe it is a small family thing?[/quote]

I'm Midwest, everyone is friendly and inquisitive, even to strangers.
Married a Brit, who has talkative friends with cool hobbies but his immediate family is super quiet and private. Lots of dinners where everyone just stares down at their food and chews.  It was slightly better once kids where on the scene but still like pulling teeth to get an update.[/quote]
