Kids, Awkward, Parents and Love: Nice to meet you… again

Nice to meet you… again

By pleaseno - 24/07/2009 00:52 - United States

Today, my mother invited me to a nice restaurant to meet her boyfriend whom she's been seriously dating for a month. Imagine my surprise when she led me to a table and my boyfriend's father stood up, shocked, to greet me. Rather than being horrified, she is now planning double dates every week. FML

Today, I went to dinner at my parents' house. I was going to surprise them by introducing them to my new boyfriend. They decided to surprise me too, by inviting my ex to the dinner. Everyone was surprised tonight. FML

Today, my dad told me he was planning to have his steady girlfriend over for dinner. He's only had a few relationships since he and my mom split up when I was very young, so I was excited to meet the woman. He then told me that I knew her already. My dad is dating my aunt on my mothers side. FML

Today, my mother met my boyfriend. She thought it would be appropriate to tell him that he looks just like my ex-husband. FML

Inappropriate!

Today, I nervously introduced my mother to my new boyfriend. I had to sit and watch her flirt with him for an hour. When I took her in the other room and confronted her about it, she said, "Don't you dare ruin this for me!" FML

Today, I was informed that my boyfriend's mother would be joining us on our Valentine's dinner. I'm not sure if this momma's boy thing is going to work out. FML

Today, I went on a first date with a guy I really like. He brought up that there was a person staring at us from a nearby table. That person was my mom. FML

Today, I had dinner for the first time with my boyfriend's parents. It was awkward enough without his mom asking, "So, what do you do for fun, besides my son?" FML

Today, after dating for almost a year, I decided to introduce my parents to the man I was sure I'd fallen in love with. When dad saw him, his and my boyfriend's face completely dropped. I asked them what was wrong because I could feel the discomfort. Turns out, I'm dating my dad's drug dealer. FML

Today, I was invited by my boyfriend's parents for dinner at their house. The dinner went well I thought, until I was getting ready to leave. Before I could make it out the front door, I could hear them discussing their disappointment that their son would ever consider someone like me. FML

like fa/mother, like child.. it only proves that you and your mom/he and his dad have the same taste and also resemble each other *a lot*, and all four are awesome ppl.. :D why, seems I'm the only one who is optimistic about this FML :|

Hey, you were with your boyfriend first. So when your mom and his dad don't work out, you'll still have your boyfriend.

Not that you're probably planning on it anytime soon, but if it looks like both couples are going to work out long-term, just make sure you guys get married first so it doesn't seem as weird...technically they won't really be related, cuz I don't think childrens' in-laws are considered to be family, whereas step-siblings are. Also, make sure your mom keeps her maiden name and you take his name, or vice versa... The REAL FML (not that this isn't an FML) will be when one of the relationships gets rocky or dissolves...

By the time you're dating, I don't see how your mom's love life ought to influence your own. The double dates could be a bit awkward the first time around and the situation has the potential for soap opera levels of drama, but it's not really an FML at this point.
