Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the Fits In with Kate Richie podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
The weekend is on its way. Maybe this weekend is
the weekend where you have to meet the parents and
that's a really big deal and you're feeling a bit nervous.
Maybe dinner is on tonight.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Can also be a very early make it or break it, absolutely,
but even the invitation is the make it or break
a point where it might be an early stage of
a relationship and they say, oh, why don't you come
and meet mum and dad at a barbecue on Sunday?
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Yeah, it does make things very official, does.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
And you go, oh, you know what, I don't think
we're there, do you know? Like I was always very
confident back in the day.
Speaker 5 (00:37):
Meeting your parents, Yeah, you know, and we're just cracking
a joke or a little bit of humor. The other
one for me was always if you could find out
if the father was into a football team.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
And then you can bomb thirteen twenty four ten if
you've had an awful experience when you've met the family.
But you're right, the invitation itself kind of reed presents
something and then you hope that it's going to go okay.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
That's what this.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Story is about because this man has come up against
it online because he has posted about the fact that
the girlfriend is going to meet the family, and ahead
of meeting the family, he has decided to enroll her
in an etiquette an online etiquette course. So in some ways,
(01:25):
the like he's done the inviting, so you think, oh,
this is good, this is like a step in the
right direction. But the clanger is before you meet the family,
you actually have to do the etiquette course, and it's awful.
He's he's been absolutely blasted a friend. No, But what
(01:46):
he's saying is that he wants it's a big deal.
He likes her, but he needs her to make a
good impression because he wants her to hang out.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
He wants her to hang around.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
So in his eyes, he thinks it's a comp it's
a comment.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Otherwise he just feed her to the lines, and so.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
He's protecting her from his family.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Well that's his excuse.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
This is what he's saying. I'm blessed and I had
a fortunate upbringing. My girlfriend, on the other hand, faced
some challenges in her life from a young age, particularly
financial challenges. She's a beautiful, interesting person. Despite all the hardships,
she faced. The only problem is, and here we go,
is that she lacks the manners that my family typically
(02:30):
expects from someone I'm in a relation.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
She run run.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
My girlfriend is the less is the first. This is
in brackets. My girlfriend is the first less fortunate woman
that I've dated, And for that reason I made the effort.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
To prepare for her first dinner with my family.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Do you know what I mean? The family obviously has
a lot of power over.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Him, and so it's a big deal for him. So
she's she's going out with a peasant? Is your Is
you easy?
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Hang on a minute.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
I know it sounds a bit like that, doesn't it.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
It's we spoke about this the other day, k Richie
that if you were to you know, when you see
somebody at a restaurant and the way they're holding their cutlery,
and you.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Go, oh my god, won't.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Make them a bad persse.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
It's not a stick just to stab a steak with.
That's not how you hold a forte.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
When people hold it like a pencil.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
You don't do that.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
But you don't judge a person by that, mate, you do.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I think people, a lot of people, A lot of
people do, and I do think that if you're introducing
your partner to your family and you know that, say
mom is going to go, oh god, they can't even
hold their cutlery. And if your mum has great influence
on your life, you you might just say, hey, at
the end of the meal, can you.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Put your culory back together? Because it's going to be
a big lot in our family.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Yeah, I'll give me a break.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
Could you imagine you're not falling in love with that
person because you're falling in love with otherwise that's a
level of elitism that gets me.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
It is, No, it's not, but it's just I know,
but I know what you're saying fits and it shouldn't
be like that, but it is.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Do you know My sister brought home a guy one time.
He came for dinner on a Sunday night to the
family table and I'm sharing too much of your time
and I'm going to be shot down by you and
my family, but I'm going to course with you up
to But he he came and told us about how
he was circumcised as a child, and they buried it
in the.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Backyard, of course, with nothing to do with it with.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Manners, because that is an inappropriate topic for the table
on the first end of the relationship by judgement death
by judgment of family.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
I agree because.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
It doesn't matter because because I think if you if
your family has a lot of influence over you, and
I'm not saying that's at like a great thing, but
it does. It's going to make your life a hell
of a lot easier if you choose a partner that
they approve.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
You know what, you know what he's he's on a
very fine edge here of losing his relationship with her
because he's basically saying, this is what you have to
deal with if you want to be with me, absolutely.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
And what she's feeling is she has said, you're embarrassed
with me. So that's not a good way to start.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
I came around to your place right as the new
as the new partner, and I go around for dinner
with it.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
I have to imagine you've been my boyfriend.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
And then I turn up for dinner to meet Heather
for the first time and I'm wearing moccasins. That's fine,
it's not Heather would be happy with me relationship over.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I do think she would notice your table manners, though,
would she see what as do I because I am
my mother's daughter.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
Every child is taught differently how to use a knife
and form, and.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Some aren't taught.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
I met someone a very long time ago, and you
kind of can't blame people for not being taught.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Of course not, it's not their fault.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
But look around.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
That knife and fork has one function in life, and
that is to cut the steak that's in front of it.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Right, people do it differently.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
You've got to get out.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Of your head, mister Whippley, that if someone does it differently,
that it's still okay.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
It's still the function.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Is to cut that piece of steak, no matter how
you cut it. Is that what you're saying, there is
a level of social etiquettes.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
There is social etiquas exists for a reason so that
everybody can get on well in a community. Sits In
