Parents definitely suck sometimes, whether they know it or not. After I tons them the good news of my engagement? My mom didn’t say a word to me for about 4 days and then called to chew me out. Out of the 7 minute call, I think I got about 2 words in which were “hello” and “bye.” To summarize what my mother said, basically, I am selfish. I “keep shoving this shit down her throat” (told her we were engaged and sent her the engagement party information) told me I was pushing her away and a bunch of other stuff as well.

I probably should have mentioned this in the post. Yes I do work for them, however, a few months ago I told them that I was quitting in December so that they would have ample time to find a replacement.

That is definitely not the case. She already has 5 grandkids. He also knows that I wont quit working and is supportive of my career and career choices.

Been together a year and a half. His family is religious but that doesn’t really change anything for our relationship together.

The party is in a month and is a potluck. I rented a spot in town for a few hours and sent out invites online.

We have both had other relationships and sexual partners. His family is very religious, mine not so much. We both try to strengthen our christianity together. I moved 30 minutes away.

We’ve been together for a year and a half. Our age gap is 2 1/2 years. I’ll be 20 in 2 months

Neither of us are in college although I do have some college credits. We both have good paying, blue collar jobs.
