HOW TO TALK TO BOYFRIEND'S MOM

Hey Jesse Neo!

I have a big problem on my hands. Me and my boyfriend have been dating for a couple of months and I still haven't met his step mom! The only thing stopping me from meeting her is because everyone that had met her has told me she is extremely mean. I have heard stories like getting grounded for making bread and butter and wearing boxers. I get the feeling that she is going to yell at me every time I see her walking towards me! It's so scary! I really want to meet her so she knows that I am a good person and I'm not trying to avoid from ever talking to her. I really want to get to know her but just too scared. Please help me!

Dear Hannah,

You can't believe everything your friends say. Maybe it was only scary to them, or perhaps they deserved being screamed at because they damaged the butter knife or something. Just remember to act decent, dress nicely, smile, and be yourself. You've got to face it to get the fear abolished, but what I see is you need confidence.

You may try to talk to your friends about it more and explore all the reasons why she is mean and how you could impress her. Maybe bringing a box of chocolate when visiting her? But on the other hand, she is your boyfriend's step mom so if she does rages at you, you can be sure that your boyfriend will be there to protect you. I'm sure that if she told you to leave the house or something, your boyfriend will come with you. Basically you won't be alone.

If you would want more advice or hope to stay in contact with me, feel free to add me on MySpace and/or Facebook and/or Twitter! Just hit me up a message or comment anytime! I promise to reply to them all!

Best regards,
