In Laws

Movies always have jokes about how awful In-Laws are  
But than again what causes this? 
If you meet the parents early in the relationship and have a healthy relationship from than personally i think there shouldn't be a problem. 
In my immediate family, the only person that officially met the parents was my nieces father when my sister came home from her first semester in college; pregnant. 

In my life so far, my parents haven't met ANY of my boyfriends ever. 
Last night i realized I wanted to change this. After spending the night at my boyfriends house and seeing his relationship with his mother and how welcoming she was to me I realized a few things. 
1. My family dynamics are a fucking messs
2. He treats me so good, because him and his mother have a good relationship
3. How can I make my parents as warm and welcoming as his mother

All in all, I was jealous.
I know me and my parents will not have a good relationship over night, or ever, or don't think its in their nature.
But my hope is that when it comes time for my boyfriend to meet my parents, will I be able to and will they be ready?
