The following podcast is a DR Media Production.

Hey guys, welcome back to We Met It Acme. What an exciting episode we have today

with my parents. Yep, you heard that right. And it's funny, I'm actually with my parents right

now as you listen to this episode, but when we recorded it, we were virtual. I was at my apartment

in the city and they were together in the burbs. And we had a really funny virtual chat, so I'm

excited for you to hear it. My parents just have like a good bander with each other. And yeah,

I hope that everyone had a really nice Thanksgiving. I know that it was different this year. And you know,

I did see some really funny meme that was like, this is the perfect year to look like a hero if you

hate your family secretly. So if you did that good for you, if you're with your family, I hope that

you are all feeling good and safe and that you were able to have a nice time, no matter what you did,

or if you did nothing. So I'm going to get into a few of your questions and then just straight up

into the episode with my parents. Should you assume you're doing gifts with a new significant

other or ask? Definitely ask. I feel like any assumption of any kind in a new relationship is

going to get you really upset and disappointed because that's an expectation. And when you have

expectations, you get disappointment. We'd love to hear about how to go deeper with your significant

others' parents on the podcast, especially if they don't live in the same city and you only see

them once or twice a year. I would say this is interesting because I had met my partner's parents

a few times and I was loving getting to know them, but I felt like we weren't on the deeper level

that I kind of wanted us to be on. And then I'm actually lucky in that I have my podcasts and I

talk about deeper issues. So I think that was a good segue for me to ask them deeper questions,

but I think also like, you know, just actually spending time with them, like especially if you

only see them once or twice a year, like when you do see them, ask to go on a walk or to do something
