Thing is, it's not a traditional meeting. We're very serious about our relationship and have been together for over a year. Now, under normal circumstances, I know I would wear a nice outfit and bring a bottle of wine or something of the sort and would be prepared for the rest of the stuff that goes along with meeting your significant other's parental units. But I'm only meeting his mother, and it's because we're going skydiving for my boyfriend's birthday.
I can't dress up to impress, 'cause I need to be comfortable enough to jump out of a plane! (Yes, she's diving as well!). So, I'm not sure what kind of shirt to wear. I'm clueless about what would be okay for skydiving anyway!
And it might be awkward to bring something, yeah? I should probably just save that for the first time I actually have dinner or go to their house to properly meet his mom AND dad. I think?
I don't know!
Anyway, share your story on the first time you met THE DREADED PARENTS!

Just a note on skydiving, wear something comfortable and appropriate for the weather. I assume you are going to jump tandem, if so the drop zone will have jump suits for you to wear. A jumpsuit will fit over your clothes so, in summer, I recommend wearing something like shorts and a t-shirt. Tennis shoes are good, no high heels or sandals (gotta protect those toes). You are going to have a blast - what a great way to meet your future in-laws!

You cant think of them as the dreaded parents,I have known my boyfriends family for 8 years and have always loved them.I think I like them better than my own.Just dress comfortably,your going to be all strapped up and in harnesses and stuff,wear some nice jeans and a t-shirt or polo shirt, a nice cotton shirt.Are you going any place after that? If not,then plan something...how about a lunch? Even better,call his mom yourself and ask her if she'd like to have lunch some where afterwards,plan a suprise birthday lunch for your boyfriend.Calling her and actually wanting her input will make her like you before she actually meets you,she'll also see how much you care for her son.Bring a change of clothes or even a nice pair of shoes to dress up your outfit. I'm sure it will all work out just fine,just relax or your going to be stumbling over your words.Good luck everything will be good.

If mama is going skydiving, and if this is your first time going skydiving, you might call and ask her advice on clothing attire. If you are part of her son's life, and if you are both jumping out of a perfectly good airplane (what is THAT about....haha) I think she might appreciate your openness. You don't want to bring an exta outfit to "impress". That would be too obvious, unless there are plans to go out after the safe landing (please God let them have a safe landing)
If your bf is into different things, I would think that his mother would be appreciative of whomever was in her son's life that shared his interests. Wait til the dinner deal, then wow them with your versatility in being able to blend being a sports nut with your bf, and still maintain your femininity by wearing something appropriately classic and chic.

Is your question what should you wear/do when you meet his mom, or do you just want stories?
I'm a mom of guys. I've met a lot of girlfriends. A couple serious. I think if his mom is cool enough to go skydiving, she probably won't mind what you wear--within reason--as long as you love and respect her son, and as long as you treat her with respect.
You don't have to be pretty or funny or smart. Parents just want you to be respectful of them and to love and be good to their son.
Oh, and don't try to look sexy. They will think it's inappropriate and will lose respect for you. His dad will be stepping into a 'dad' role to a young woman he has never met before. He will be embarrassed. He won't want to have to look away from you all the time to keep from being sexually attracted to someone he is supposed to become a dad to.

Just concentrate on not wearing yoru breakfast and you will be fine. If the woman is willing to jump out of a plane to make her son happy then getting to knwo you should be a breeze. Think of it as a day out with him and a bud since his mom seems to certainly be that for him.... and eventually she might be that for you as well. Have a great time, and land safe!
