Oh fuuuuuuuck, no! Not in the first 6 months. We’ve JUST decided to rekindle our happy little love nest, I don’t want to ruin that by you meeting my MOMMMMMMMM??!!?!!!
3 months.
No. You can meet my brother and sister-in-law in 3 months. Then they can help you brace yourself on how to meet my mother in 6 months. I’m not going to do that. I don’t really want to be involved with these conversations. Our mother-daughter relationship has finally reached a certain point in 2024 as well. I am reluctant to rock that boat in 2025. And I don’t think you will rock that boat, but I can see there’ll be potential triggers for me…
Okay. Cool. Meeting your brother and sister-in-law after 3 months. I’m looking forward to it. How about your Dad?
Ugh… So if you do meet my mother in 6 months, then you can meet my father in 9 months.
(Smiling) I’m happy with that.
Okay…?
What else can you tell me about your Mom?
Well… she loves to watch Korean dramas…
(Smiling)
No you don’t understand. She LoooOOOOOOooOOoOOOOoves Korean dramas… she has watched pretty much every Korean drama that is available on Netflix. And when there’s a new one, she’ll be watching it. She’s watched them. ALL.
Cool. I love it. I’ll study up on some conversation topics related to Korean dramas.
OhMYGOD… I don’t think you “need” to do that… but… whatever…
Why does she love Korean dramas?
I don’t actually know… sometimes she says it’s fascinating, she is learning about Korean culture?! LOL… The rom coms do make her laugh out loud…
Do you watch them with her?
Rarely. I’ve seen like two shows. It’s not my jam, dude… I don’t… I just… I’m not… I’m not really going to sit through that kind of marathon!
Okay, so just your Mom loves Korean drama? What about your sister-in-law?
I think she watches some, but I don’t think she’s like my Mum kind of fanatic… she watches Taiwanese variety shows…? I think? I don’t even know. I think her and my brother tend to watch documentaries about random stuff. Like we’ll be talking about something, like, fashion and textiles recycling, and then they’ll say they watched a documentary clip about this and that to do with the whole manufacturing and processing pipelines of all that. It’s really random. Or like they’ll just blurt out nerdy facts from whatever YouTube or documentary on Netflix that they watched. They’re nerds. Okay. Introverted nerds. LOL
I like nerds. I like random facts about random things…
I know… I think you guys will all get along…
What about your Dad? Does he like to play golf?
He used to… I don’t think you need to go out of your way to try and play golf with him. I don’t think you’ll even meet in person at that 9 months point, it’ll probably just be a video call.
No, I want to meet him in person.
Okay…? Well… I don’t see you guys golfing together at all. He just doesn’t do that anymore. He likes to go for bush walks…
Okay. Nice.
Yeah…? (Shrugs shoulders)… I don’t think you’ve been to the kind of mountains that we walk through in Taiwan… you’re definitely fit enough. But yeah, that’ll be different.
Cool! I love it! I’m so looking forward to it.
HA! Okay…?! What about ME??! And YOUR FAMILY?!!?!
You can meet them on a video call any time. Just say the word, I’ll call them up and you’ll get to meet them. Or if you want face to face, I can arrange that too. Whenever you’re ready. We can do it.
Ugh… okay… I have no opinion about that at this moment in time… I don’t really want to think about it too much…
I’m thinking about it every day. I want to make a good impression.
Oh my god… it’s really not that big of a deal?!?!!?!!
It is, to me.
Okay…? Well… I don’t have any input, that’s why you need to meet my brother and sis-in-law first. Then you can ask them. Because, I don’t want to be a part of this planning… they can help you to plan it and “prepare yourself” for meeting my Mum and Dad…
Okay. How can I make a good impression when meeting your brother and sis-in-law?
You don’t even need to try. You can just be yourself. You guys will all get along. It’ll be so easy. They’re so nice. It’s really not going to be a problem at all.
I need… a little bit more info…
You can ask my other friends who know them and have met them. You know who to ask about that.
