How to introduce your partner to your family

(1)Get your family on board

If you're bringing a significant other home, you'll need to run it by your family and make sure they're on board.

You need to have a preparatory conversation with your family.Tell them that you're seeing someone special and you'd like to integrate them into the holiday plans.

(2)Tell them what to expect

Every family has its quirks and kooky relatives that join in on holiday celebrations. Give your partner an idea of who will be there and the protocol for their behavior, and highlight relatives that you think they'd get along with.

(3)Every family has different standards

Even if you and your partner spend the night at each other's places all the time, your family's standards can be a different story, making sleeping arrangements a potentially fraught topic. Winter recommends treading carefully.

You don't have to stay with the family. You can stay in a hotel. You're adults. If you do stay in the home, you know your parents well enough — know the ground rules and don't push it.

(4)Make sure your partner is accommodated

The holidays center around food, so make sure your partner doesn't go hungry. If they keep kosher, have allergies, are vegetarian or vegan, or have other dietary restrictions, whoever is cooking needs to know that in advance.

I suggests bringing food with you that you know your partner can have to make it easier on everyone.

第一次带对象回家需要注意些什么

(1)先征得家人的同意

如果你要把另一半带回家,你需要先知会家人,征得他们的同意。

你需要先和家人谈一谈,让他们做好心理准备。告诉他们,你恋爱了,并打算带恋人回家过节。


(2)提前把各位亲戚的特点和节日活动告知另一半

每个家庭的节日庆祝活动都会有几个古怪的亲戚来参加。让你的伴侣知道哪些亲戚会来,他们的言行举止大概是什么样子,并重点介绍几位你觉得能和伴侣合得来的亲戚。


(3)提前做好过夜的安排

即使你和伴侣经常在对方的住所里过夜,但是在父母家里过夜则是另一回事,可能会带来一些烦恼。温特建议对这件事要小心斟酌。

你不必非得在家里过夜。你们可以住酒店。你们是成年人了。如果你真的在家过夜,你应该很了解你的父母——知道他们的底线,并且不要逾越。


(4)把伴侣不吃的东西告诉掌勺的人

节日聚会都是围绕着吃展开的,所以要确保你的伴侣不会饿肚子。如果他们吃洁食,对某些食物过敏,是素食者,或有其他饮食禁忌,都要提前告诉做饭的人。

建议你带一些伴侣能吃的食物回家,这样大家都比较省事。
