Meet the Parents
When you met your significant other's parents/your in-laws for the first time, did you find it more intimidating to face the mother or the father?
Personally, I was terrified of meeting his father as he's a circuit court judge.

The dad because he was really intelligent. I find intelligent people to be intimidating.
and the mother was a nut so she didn't scare me.

I met her parents before her and I got together, they still don't know we're together. But I'd have to say her dad more.

Definitely the mother! Always worry that you’re never good enough.

I can't say that I love meeting parents, but parents seem to love meeting me...
Sure, it's a little bit of role-playing in that I make myself out to be very quiet and well-mannered where as with friends I can be quite boistrous and in search of a limelight... But I don't know that I've ever feared one parent over the other. Although one ex's mom did concern me, as she was his only remaining parent, and I wanted to be seen as good enough. Mostly, parents love me so I don't dread it any more than I dread meeting anyone else new.

Update
Well, I met his parents last weekend and it went really well. I brought his mother flowers and suprisingly, she had bought me a small gift, a book. His mother had gone to great detail to prepare a wonderful dinner and after a short span of time, I was eagerly talking with his entire family. I warmed up far more quickly to his mother than his father. When we left three hours later, his mother gave me a hug and his whole family saw us out. Indeed, Brian's mother later informed him that I was, "absolutely charming, adorable, and sweet". I have her fooled.
