Superman has been introducing the idea of me to his parents in stages. I had met them briefly and eaten dinner with them once. However, we’d been shying away from any amount time that is too intensive.

That changed the weekend before last. They live 4 hours away, and every two weeks either he goes to see them or they come here, because they are currently the caregivers for his son. So he invited me to have dinner with them and see how things go. I said that if I didn’t feel like things were going well, I’d be out the door the minute the food was done.

Well, dinner went fabulous! They talked about his late wife for a little bit, they really enjoyed her cooking, and she had been good in the kitchen. But considering how much they could have talked about her, it was great. I weathered it pretty well! Towards the end of the meal, Superman’s mom mentioned having cake, coffee and watching a movie. She was actually inviting me to stay longer! Yay me! This is monumental considering 4 weeks ago when she had visited she went through the house and removed pictures of me when he had been gone for a few hours.

All in all, a good weekend. I was able to bond with Superboy a little bit more. Some days all I can think about is wanting to be his mommy. I look forward to it, although I know it will be challenging.
