Your parents saying things to you and him...I am not sure why it happens but I think that parents once you graduate college loose the luster of having you as a child, so they have a new focus GRANDCHILDREN. No parents want to have grandkids late they want to be young, spry, and trendy ie our mothers will not be our bubbies. So they discretely mention grandchildren to you, then to your boyfriend. This is not the way to get yourself grandkids mom! HELLOOOO I don't have a ring and you just paid $$$$ for college and grad school and all you can ask about is grandchildren? Were all those tutors and extracurricular activities you drove me too just for show???
- First off, a kid is scarier then a ring. Costs more, is more delicate, talks/cries back, and = a hell of a lot more responsibility.
- Grandparents wanting to be great grandparents- another scary thing for both the girl and the guy. HELLLLLO PRESSURE!!!
While you might be the princess in your house, guess what he is the prince in his.
- My mother always taught me be a "balebost" (yiddush for a good homemaker). This is crucial and so normal you should be doing it anyway I should not have to tell you...
- clean up after yourself, always clear your plate...even if they have help do it yourself. You are capable.
- offer to help when around the kitchen, even if you cannot cook you can still offer to set the table.
- If you stay over their house one morning wake up and make them breakfast, scrambled eggs are no rocket science.
- If there is a special event bring a desert or flowers etc.
- ALWAYS SAY THANK YOU!!!!! Even if dinner with them becomes a weekly thing, you thank them....
- I am not remaking the wheel, but these little easy things aka MANNERS go a long way
- It also shows you will be able to maintain the household when the time comes!
Last thing about rings per the comment on the previous post...
Traditionally, a guy has to ask your father for your hand...Now our dad's are not stupid. They see what we wear, the bags we carry, the cars we drive, if lucky or maybe not so lucky they see your credit card bills. Dads aren't dumb either, if they know you like the finer things in life they will know you want a nice ring..
- Now, even if you father is not as into that stuff your dad still knows what a nice ring is.
- Lets not forget by this point our father's will have had to celebrate 20 something birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, or getting out of the dog house... the point is, THEY KNOW JEWELRY you better believe if they spoiled your mothers all these years they want to make sure their daughters will be taken care of the same way.
Also, its NOT ALL ABOUT SIZE LADIES, while size in the bedroom may be very important, the size of the diamond on your finger is not as important as other aspects of the stone....
The 4Cs of diamonds Cut, Color, Clarity, Carats. Color and Clarity are big time they are what drives up the cost of a diamond.
- A brilliant white diamond with very few inclusions (dark spots) at 1 carat could be worth a hell of a lot more than a 3 carat with a more off white color and a lot of inclusions. Not to mention the whiter the diamond the more its gonna sparkle and catch the eye of someone then the dull 3 carat. So remember, bigger is not always better. Quality over quantity 101...
