Meet the Fockers<\/a>).\u00a0 So considering that we all must face this terrible bump in the road at some point, we\u2019ve decided to provide you the golden list of no-no\u2019s\u00a0 for meeting your girlfriend\u2019s parents\u2026<\/p>\nNo-No #5: DO NOT become best friends with Jim Beam<\/h2>\n
Nothing can make a worse impression than whiskey on your breath and a stumble in your step. First, Mom and Dad can probably drink you under the table. So, don\u2019t try to impress them with your tank-like drinking skills because unfortunately, they won\u2019t be impressed. They\u2019ll only think you\u2019re a mumbling, belligerent moron who they cannot get away from their daughter fast enough. And you\u2019ll smell bad because no amount of AXE body spray can cover the stench of belligerence. So don\u2019t do it. It smells bad and tastes worse \u2013 ask your girlfriend if you don\u2019t believe me.<\/p>\n
No-No #4: Belch the ABC\u2019s<\/h2>\n
Your best buds might think that\u2019s awesome while sitting around the TV watching Monday Night Football. Her parents? Not so much.\u00a0They want to hear\u00a0about the positive and respectable aspects of your life \u2013 your hopes and your dreams. Perhaps they want to hear about your family. But what I can absolutely assure you is that they don\u2019t want to smell the aroma of your Mexican flavored lunch in their faces as you burp your way through digestion.<\/p>\n
No-No #3: Order the filet mignon<\/h2>\n
One word: rude. No matter how wealthy, generous or eccentric her parents are, they WILL notice if you order the most expensive thing on the menu. Not only will they notice but they will bring it up to their daughter who will in turn bring it up to you. So, in order to avoid the convoluted drama, avoid the $$$$ meal. For one night you can suffer with\u2026God forbid\u2026the chicken.<\/p>\n
No-No #2: \u201cBabe, remember when we were in bed and you\u2026\u201d<\/h2>\n
Stop. Right. There. Her parents do not want to hear about their daughter\u2019s skills in between the sheets. And they don\u2019t want to hear about yours either. Your sex life with their daughter is none of their business. No matter how cool her parent\u2019s seem to be \u2013 there are no parents \u201ccool\u201d enough to wow over their daughters\u00a0flexibility\u00a0and creativity in the sack.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
No-No #1: Hitting on Mom\u2026<\/h2>\n
\u2026No matter how hot or cougar-ish she is. This is the easiest way to make Dad hate<\/a> you immediately. This is also the easiest way to get broken up with. So, unless you want out (or your girlfriend is Rumer Willis because, lets face it, Demi is hot), stay away from your girlfriend\u2019s Mom. Who ever tells you that hooking up with Mom-aged woman is acceptable is lying to you. They are in denial. It\u2019s not cool and don\u2019t let anyone tell you that it is. Trust me, you\u2019re girlfriend will agree.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There comes a point in every relationship when two people become so infatuated and comfortable with each other that they must screw it all up\u2026this point is better known as \u201cMeeting The Parents\u201d (or marriage).
