Um,,
Monday or Tuesday i'm going to be meeting my boyfriends mum and sister(s). We've been together almost a year and 5 months, and his parents have know about me that long. It's only a casual thing, at his house, and i'll probably be spending most of the time just in his room anyway.
My queries are quite trivial, but ; ( this post feels really messy,, sorry )
His sister(s) are alot older. We're 14 & they're in their 20's. Will this be awkward, or just a bit odd because i'll be so young to them and this is their little brother?
My parents don't know about him yet. I'm worried about his mum asking questions about my family. It's silly i havent told them, just ... blah.
How should i go about a gift? Would a small bunch of flowers be okay?
I want to wear something comfortable but

i'm worried if i show any of my scars. They're faint but would it be worth risking wearing short sleeves maybe? And i don't want his mum to think i'm fat - or anything that could spiral downwards from that.
I'd love any other general pointers too,, im nervous but excited.
Thankyou.
I know how nerve wracking meeting parents can be! But in most cases..there really isn't anything to worry about. Most parents will just be happy that you make their child happy.
It probably won't be awkward, I know when I met my boyfriend's family, I was the youngest by a long shot. But, they were still very nice to me and now I actually consider myself friends with them. You don't have to get the mom a present, but if you want to a small bunch of flowers would be nice.
I'm not sure what to do about the scars, but I can promise you nobody will think you're fat.
I never had the "meeting the parents", because I met my boyfriend through his sister, we were best friends, so my advice is pretty sucky - but I wanted to wish you luck.
As for clothing - I'd go for something casual. Don't think about it too much, just wear what you'd usually wear. You could always throw a cardy on if you feel uncomfortable about any scars - then, if you feel more comfortable once you're there, you can take it off. But if you want to keep it on, you can.
I don't think it'll be awkward with his sisters - I can't really explain why. I just don't think it will be. His mum may ask questions about your family, and if she does, you just need to be honest and answer her questions. If she mentions anything to do with your parents and him, you could just answer that they've not met him yet.
Be polite. Just be yourself.
Good Luck! xx
You are a wonderful creation.
You know more than you think you know, just as you know less than you want to know.
Good luck, I'm sure they'll love you! :)
For the clothing, maybe ask your boyfriend if it's okay to have scars showing? That's what I did, but his parents understand about SH and stuff anyway, because he used to do it, and I'm so glad they do because it means I can wear whatever I want :)
Hope it goes well!!
Shoot for the moon, even if you miss you land among the stars
