Hi Megan, I just came across your blog and read about the 'cultural differences' with your in-laws... I had to laugh, I am too married to an Italian. But we live at the moment in China. However we spent the summer holidays in Italy, together with the parents. Which is totally normal to my husband. For me, as a German, it would be unthinkable to spend 3 weeks with my parents. But my parents are different. My Mum would not cook lunch for us all every day and take care of us that we really feel like in 'Hotel Mama'. I said in my (Italian) blog, that my mother-in-law's cooking compensates the sometimes cultural differences ;-) Take care in Italy, greetings from China

I moved from California to Italy, married an (adorable) Italian boy, started a business and slowly but surely adjusted into Italian life. It's been fun, difficult, entertaining, frustrating - but above all, an incredible experience from a little seaside village overlooking the Mediterranean...
