YOU HELPED ME OUT SO MUCH THIS EASTER when I had to meet the whole family. Cousins and aunts, etc. I could cry. I was so nervous but using your tips, everything went well. I even came with a gift. I didn't gossip either. 😂 Although they invited me to their gossip table. Lol they invited me to the next get together so I think that's a good sign.
I’m AA but my bf is Ghanaian so i’m really nervous to meet his parents because I really care about him and I love them and I don’t want my incorrect greetings to ruin our relationship. So I don’t know how to correctly greet parents because I don’t know if I should say hello nice to meet you ma’am or sir or nice to meet you auntie or maame because for my parents they thought it was weird when my cousin’s girlfriend was like “it was nice to meet you sir” because they’re not really too strict on greetings
I agree with your point, but, the issue of assisting in the kitchen or serving. I'm of the opinion that as your first visit, you are a visitor and should focus on them getting to know you more. Initiate conversations to start with, get to know them well... Assisting in the kitchen does not indicate a good wife. Other things do.
I‘m starting to become anxiety my african mum is super relaxed I’m scared about his African type of mum now 😩 you scared me tf away 😭😭 theres no reason I‘ll meet her without my mother on my side 😭😭
Bella DeJaneiro I’m sorry you got scared. That wasn’t my intention. Please you don’t have to get scared, just meet her. She could turn out awesome you know. All the best!
@@HazonsTv oh I Never answered on that. The meeting went very well, his mother is such a nice soul we are literally besties now. thank you for your advices she is indeed very awesome!
Hi, I am AA and I met my boyfriend's parents already and since then they haven't gotten to know me at all, but they just want me to be comfortable in their home now...what do I do?
You mentioned that you were speaking from the perspective of an African girl. Are the rules different or are they more lenient on an Black-American female?
diva1247 That’s not how I meant it. Just saying that I am speaking from the perspective of the culture that I understand better. I didn’t want to generalize because I honestly don’t know what’s obtainable in other parts of the world as regards the topic.
I love my man and his family even tho I haven't met them yet. I really want to make a positive impression. However I am white and I have no idea how that's gonna go. Does anybody have any advice for interracial relationship? By the way you're absolutely gorgeous mama ❤️❤️❤️
3 things that helped me: being patient, listening and observing and being open minded. Remember, what may be second nature or something you do without thinking, that same gesture/action may be considered rude or offensive in another culture. Learn and ask questions of your partner, not of the people you're meeting from his/her side the first time. All the time keep those 3 things in mind. Tbh most the stuff in this video are very sound and intelligent bits of advice in any culture. Best of luck!!
I’m meeting my Nigerian boyfriends mother , I am a teen and want to make a good impression , because I am white I am afraid she will not think I’m worthy for her son, how do I greet her and show her i have good intentions, I am very nervous and scared
Sharon Ivan .. Hi Sharon, thanks for reaching out. First thing, be relaxed and be yourself when you get to his family home. Don’t try to impress her too much. Before you leave for the visit ask your boyfriend to help with some tips on what his mom likes and also go through the tips in this video. With these, you would definitely be loved by her. I wish you the best of luck. 🙏🏼❤️
Beatrice Obiorah do you think I’ll be accepted regardless of my colour or will I have to do anything In particulate to get they’re trust , is they’re anything else I could do ?
Sharon Ivan Dear Sharon, I’m sorry this is coming late. Africans are accommodating and they easily embrace people from all walks of life. So rest assured they would love you despite you skin colour. Don’t even bother about that. Just be yourself. Best of luck again!
