    Meeting the parents of your loved one is sometimes not easy.

    Meeting the parents of your loved one like your girlfriend or boyfriend is sometimes not easy. And why is that? Because sometimes the parents may or may not approve of you. Like yesterday my friend went to see the parents of his girlfriend for the first time and I'm really hoping and praying her parents will approve of him and accept him. And I know what it's like meeting the parents or guardians of a girlfriend because I went through it myself and it's nothing new to me. I remember one time I had a girlfriend who lived in a group home and when it came to meeting her staff for the first time, they weren't open minded at all at first but I won them over by showing them my credentials like my Knights of Columbus membership cards and they took the time to get to know me and eventually they made me feel welcome and they accepted me and they said that I was very legitimate for her.

    Meh

    I never found Amy's parents funny or entertaining if anything I found them boring and annoying ... people complain about Debra's parents but at least the stupid stuff they do makes you laugh but Amy's parents are just boring to watch I still don't know how that bird thanksgiving episode has high ratings .

    Don't let the in laws of your loved one dissuade you from getting married.

    When you and your loved one are planning on getting married and the in laws of your loved one don't approve of you and your family. The one thing that you can't allow to happen and that is the in laws dissuade you and your loved one from getting married. They may not like it, but you and your loved one have the right to get married.

      The exterior establishing shots of Amy's apartment show a brownstone-type building. The apartment itself is not consistent with a brownstone apartment layout.
