A practical, laugh-out-loud guide to adopting your man's family -- from your first date to your firstborn Girlfriends, fiancés, and wives, rejoice! Here, at last, is THE guidebook
for practical advice about in-laws. A road map. A beacon of hope and light when,
for the fiftieth time, you've told your in-laws what you do at your high-tech
company and that your name is Christy, not Crispy. Mirroring the natural progression of a relationship and incorporating
interviews from women just like you, this hilarious, savvy guide will help you
survive holidays, weddings, new babies, and the day your in-laws retire to the
house next door because "it's a great real estate investment." Discover a wide array of sanity-retention techniques and tips on scoring
major points with each and every in-law. Learn how to sweet-talk his sister,
mollify his mother, and defuse potentially explosive situations -- like when
your pumpkin pie gives Nana a bad case of hives. Offering handy translation charts with curse words in Irish and compliments
in Portuguese, a list of gifts and how to interpret their hidden meanings, tips
for reclaiming the holidays one Labor Day at a time, and your very own In-Law
Vacation Playbook, I Heart My In-Laws embodies
the old saying, "It's funny because it's true." pub date: 2007-06-26 | paperback | 9780805082791 |
