Live-in told me later that "the right time" will be when we live far enough away from her that she'd have to call before coming over. 
We'll probably be ready for kids by the time we get married, anyway.
She and I were talking last night about how horrible a house wife I make - she was a house wife since getting married (of course I didn't think about it before I said "I just don't think I'm cut out to be a house wife - it's not that I find the work hard it's just that I'm not great at planning meals!"). I don't think she was offended though - she offered a bunch of recipes that she knows my boyfriend likes. I told her that he will eat what I put in the table whether or not it was something that he wanted. |
It's good that you keep the lines of communication open. As long as they know when to leave you two the hell alone.

At that point, I'll be a big jerk right back to you."
My boyfriend nodded and said "Believe me, she's got you beat. She hasn't pulled her bitchiness out of her bag of tricks with you yet."
His brother's a great guy, he just pushes boundaries is all. He'll know where my boundaries are when he crosses them. Then he'll never cross them again! |
Let him know!!!! LOL
My rule is: You better tell them so I don't have to. I will have absolutely NO tact when I have to tell them.
