Dear Future Daughter-in-Law,
I’m genuinely excited about you becoming a part of our family, but there are a few things I need to share before we celebrate.
First and foremost, I am his mother, which means that long before he was yours, he was mine. One day, you’ll become a mother too, and you’ll understand the depth of that role in the family. It’s a mix of responsibility and joy that never truly ends, even when they’re grown. Letting go is a challenge for me, but I promise to make an effort for all our sake. Just keep in mind that my intentions may sometimes feel intrusive.
As the youngest, we may have pampered your beloved a bit; he does have a bit of a babyish side. You’ve likely noticed he prefers things his way and can be quite persuasive with those puppy dog eyes of his. I apologize for encouraging that behavior when he was just three! If he starts to push boundaries, feel free to set him straight, maybe even with a rolled-up newspaper.
On a more serious note, I once overheard him telling a friend he was allergic to cats. That’s a total fabrication! A neighbor’s cat once gave him a good scare, and ever since, he’s been terrified of any feline. So if you’re a cat lover, just know that he has a secret fear disguised as an allergy.
But it’s not all doom and gloom. He’s kind, hardworking, respectful, and has a fantastic sense of humor. You probably already know this, but he has some other wonderful qualities that you may not be aware of. For instance, he’s not picky when it comes to food; anything you prepare will be a treat for him. I don’t know how skilled you are in the kitchen, but to him, the sound of the microwave is like a royal proclamation! He’s also quite easygoing about housekeeping, so you won’t feel the need to keep everything spotless at all times. Plus, he prefers lounging on the couch to adventurous outings, giving you plenty of quality alone time for those shopping trips or weekend getaways you enjoy. He’ll happily wait for your return.
I’ve been longing for my youngest to mature and embrace adulthood, and I couldn’t be happier that you’ll be the one to help him achieve that. If you ever need someone to talk to, don’t hesitate to reach out.
Welcome to the family!
Warmest wishes,
Your Future Mother-in-Law
