Meet the parents.
And the older brother. And the sister-in-law. In another state, travel to which requires an airplane. For five days.
Yes, folks, the time has come to meet RCB's parents. In three weeks I will be boarding an airplane and joining RCB on a trip up the coast to spend a long weekend with HIS ENTIRE IMMEDIATE FAMILY.
At least they know about me, right?
Yikes.
And don't even get me started on sleeping arrangements. And how my own mother said these exact words: "You really should plan on not sharing a room with him if his parents are there. You don't want to look bad."
Ha.

My question is how to confront that issue - the sleeping arrangements I mean.
In an effort not to look bad, does one decline sleeping in the same room if it's offered?
that's MY question! but, worse, i will have my mom's voice in my head! how old am i again?
Leave the sleeping arrangements up to the host. Be prepared to go with the flow. It's not like his family REALLY thinks that you both are saving yourself for the M word. Have fun!
your mama rocks! and yeah...i agree with just going with the flow...does he seem nervous???
he's really excited, actually. as am i. but it's a LONG time...
of course they'll love me and wish i could stay forever.
the thing is, it's his brother's house. and his brother is my age (yes, i robbed the cradle)...so of course he's going to put us together. it's just now i know to think even harder about "how it looks." ugh.
When I went to meet my ex's dad, we took the initiative and said we would stay apart, and his father insisted that we stay together. THAT way, it's not like it's your idea if you do wind up sleeping together. It's so dumb because everyone probably knows you stay at each other's places, but play the game anyway.
