</div>[QUOTE]elannis - Haha I will! Actually, for the past 10 or so years I've only wanted 2 kids but this past weekend I saw this really adorable family with 4 little girls and I was like "ohhh that would be so cute!" I would probably die of exhaustion or go completely crazy if I had 4 kids though, I just don't think I'd be able to handle it, haha! I'm hoping that I stay close with my cousins and my kids can feel close to their 2nd cousins like I do. My parents love BF - my mom actually said last time he visited "there's nothing bad anyone can say about him" aww :)

I definitely know that 2 is going to be plenty for us. Three would be pushing it, lol. That's sweet that your mom likes him though! : )

H has a crazy, huge family.  we're so different...  I get along OK with some of his cousins (he has over 100 first and second cousins), but his immediate family... not so much.  his mom blows money and then asks us to pay for her car repairs, cable, etc.  his SD is creepy, stole his SSN and sold it for drugs, and a deadbeat.  he has 3 bros under 18.  the youngest is a little jealous of me because H stayed here to be with me.  but he is getting over it and really wants to be an uncle.  like, yesterday.  the kid is like 8.  so he's constantly asking, is she pregnant?  the next brother is my favorite.  the oldest of his younger bros is getting better... not so much a deadbeat like his dad, and starting to actually participate in THE REAL WORLD (not video game world).

H's family is completely overwhelming and stressful.  add to that, a huge culture and language difference...  eep!

my family is small.  my mom and dad and bro love H... he is just another one of the kids.  we're comfortable and do a lot of stuff together.

I get along with BF's parents fine, but we're not close or anything. I'm in the same boat as some of the other ladies in that if they weren't his parents, I would have pretty much nothing in common with them. They are just very, very different then my family, and have some very different values, which is really hard at times, but they really are good people over all.

I don't really care for his sister. She's overly entitled, judgmental and has a totally unrealistic view on life. She's also 23, and has never worked a day in her life, so there's that.

BF and my family get along great. We're actually on our way out the door for a weekend in VA (as soon as BF is done packing) and I'm really excited. It's the first time BF has been home with me in a couple of months.

I adore them and they feel the same way about me. I'm very much looking forward to seeing them on Thursday !

I love my BF's family. His parents treat me like their daughter, including his mom pointing out crazy things in my life, just like she does in her daughter's life. Sometimes it can make me question things, but she is so excited about us getting married and has always been so supportive of everything I want to do and we want to do. We have talked on the phone every other week since a month into our relationship.

His dad is in the military, and I try to visit when he is around because he is such a sweet and genuine guy. Him and I have favorite tv show marathons about silly things like "what happened after they won the lottery".. all day. lol

And his older sister is great. Straight to the point, she either likes you or she doesn't, luckily her and I are great friends and we even tag team up against my BF for fun when I'm visiting. I'm sure the BF loves that. lol

His aunts call me occasionally to see how things are going or send me messages on facebook. They are all just an awesome family. They took me in immediately and I couldn't be more blessed by how they are with me.
