meeting b/f family this weekend- nervous
| Thu, 07-01-2004 - 10:19am |
Well his sister and her husband flew into town this morning. B/F is originally from CA and we live in MN so this will be my first interaction with his siblings and I am nervous. She is very different from me from what I have heard and I am hoping to make a good impression. Very classy business woman(beautiful too boot as well) with no kids and doesnt want kids- has a 3 million dollar home in the Bay area of San Fransisco. ME well hey I am single mom with twins and barely making my bills and well just feel insecure about the whole thing (lets be honest) I am particularly nervous because Tomorrow is my boys birthday and there is plans to go to boyfreinds for BBQ with his kids and the sister/husband and then off to see Spiderman. SO not only planning the party is a stressor but the added factor of making the best impression on top of it. Now I am not sure if any of you know what this is but I have "social anxiety disorder (which isnt at a high degree but I do have it) " so that is a added factor as well. I have lingering thoughts of cancelling the whole ordeal and just HIDING and just going to restaurant with my kids because I am so nervous.
HELP!!

My sister has severe social anxiety disorder, and has to take a xanax before she goes anywhere where she may have to interact with people outside of her "circle" or that is outside her comfort zone, physically.
Have a great time at Spider Man! I want to go!!!!!

Good luck to you and happy birthday to your twins.
Don't let the sister intimidate you. And I agree with Maggie, she will probably admire you for raising your twins by yourself. Plus, I'm sure she'll fall in love with them. Twins have a way of wrapping their hearts around strangers. I know, I have a set of my own. Try to relax, and have a great weekend.

Have a great and wonderful 4th of July..
Be safe.
I'm sure that it'll be fine.
Well today is the big day and my boys woke up at 5:30 excited to start the day! I let them open one present- a spiderman t-shirt they will wear at daycare today and they are having a party there and going to the zoo - so they will have a fun day!
As for tonight - well right now I am struggling over what to wear - its sooo hot here today 88 and very humid. Minnesota has the wierdest weather. Last week it was in the 50-60's!!
Anyway I am sure it will be fun and I am excited to meet his sister and see another side of boyfreind as he relates to his family - he adores his sisters so it will be sweet to see I am sure. I did chat with another one of his sisters yesterday and she said that the sister that is here is a sweetheart and has already gotten a good impression of me and is just as excited to meet me - so that made me feel more at ease- sure it will go fine!
Thanks for all the supportive thoughts- I will take them with me today/tonight!
HUGS- Lizbeth
