[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s weird to expect a 30something, successful, independent person to automatically adore and feel close to a couple they’ve met a half dozen times (at most) before their wedding. Like all of a sudden this 60something couple you may have spent time with for about 12 days (visits all put together) is “family, and don’t you dare act like they’re not family.” Like, OK, give it a minute. Especially when these are some 60somethings that are openly judging/observing/appraising you, are probably bossing you around and offering unsolicited advice to some degree, and feel entitled to share their opinion at every turn. [/quote] But it should be important to put effort into having a relationship with them. They are the parents of your spouse and the grandparents of your future children. And I absolutely guarantee that you will be observing and appraising anyone who your child brings home. It is instinctual.[/quote]
