Today, I brought my boyfriend over to meet my parents. They prepared dinner for us - mushroom pasta. I have always hated mushrooms, so I spent the entire dinner trying not to gag. Unfortunately, I did gag and my mom got up and smacked me so hard I fell out of my chair. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I met my boyfriend's parents for the first time over dinner. I had to use the bathroom part way through, and ended up taking the foulest dump of my life. I cracked open a window on my way out, but my boyfriend's dad went in soon after, quickly retching and booming, "What the fuck?!" FML
Today, I was invited to my boyfriend's house for dinner for the first time. His mom made a fantastic dinner, so I showed my appreciation by eating the lot. Apparently I was overdoing it because when I looked up everyone was staring. His dad muttered, "Slow the hell down." FML
Today, I met my girlfriend's parents for the first time. Dinner was going well until her dad secretly fed the asparagus to the dog under the table, and then "discovered" what a childish thing I had done. My girlfriend believed him. FML
Today, my idiot boyfriend, who thinks he's an outdoorsman, made sauce from mushrooms he'd foraged. I refused to eat it. He got upset and had two helpings. He's now in bed, whining about how bad he feels. Stupid dumbass. FML
Today, I was out to dinner with my boyfriend and his parents. It was my first time meeting them, so I was a bit nervous. As we were talking, I accidentally let out a loud burp. His parents looked at me in shock, and my boyfriend just laughed and said, "Well, she's certainly comfortable around you two." FML
Today, I brought my boyfriend of a year and a half to meet my parents. Turns out he dated my mom. This should be a fun dinner. FML
Today, we were having a family dinner with my boyfriend's parents and mine. In the kitchen, when we were getting the food ready, he proposed. I screamed. My dad thought he was hurting me, came in and tased him in the leg. FML
Today, my parents finally invited my boyfriend over for dinner. Everything was going great until my mother asked him his profession. He stuffed his mouth full of lasagna, snorted, and then responded, "I clean shit for a living." FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were having dinner with my family. He killed a bug and ate it. FML
Today, I went to a Japanese restaurant. While the chef was throwing food at us, I was getting ready for my turn. He tossed a piece of broccoli at me, I leaned back to catch it, completely falling off my chair. I knocked everything over and had the packed restaurant laughing at me. FML

Your mother is a wonderful parent. Who hits their kid over something like that? Also, mushrooms are horrible, so you were justified in your retching.

At least it wasn’t HIS parents and you didn’t have to impress them? But yeah, that sucks.

So is mushrooms the only thing you gag on?

Mom would've gotten slapped right back for something like that. Then we'd leave and go have dinner somewhere else.

Your mother is a ******* psycho and the world would be better off without people like her.

SORRY OP, one soothe have thought that you're mom would have consulted you on the meal choice knowing you don't like mushrooms. Maybe that is her way of saying she doesn't like your choice of partner. Parents are weird.

If it was me at that point, I'd just get up, leave the house with the boyfriend, and cut all contact with the parents. No one deserves to be hit over not liking certain food. Who knows what will happen if you say something she doesn't like! Your mother sounds like a dangerous, abusive person.

Seems like your mother planned the dinner in a way that was likely to give her the chance to treat you badly and embarrass you in front of your boyfriend. I don’t know how dependent you are on your mother, but if you are out of home and financially independent of her, I’d seriously advise you to consider cutting such a toxic person out of your life. That was straight up abusive and one day she could be treating your kids that way.

I would not talk to my mum for so long if she embarrassed me like that. How does she not know you hat mushrooms though?

She knew, and served them intentionally as a control move.

Reading between the lines, I’m pretty sure that OP’s mother probably does not respect OP’s orientation or boyfriend. OP’s mother has to have known exactly how OP feels about mushrooms and how he would react to that dish. It was clearly a nasty attempt at sabotaging her son’s relationship - And her reaction shows that when she slapped him. OP - I am sorry not all parents are loving and accepting. Your mom sounds like a real piece of work.

Ah, I hadn't caught that. You're probably right. She's not just a horrible mother, she's a horrible homophobic mother trying to sabotage her son.

They're your parents... tell them hey I don't like mushrooms. You know this. Also file a police report for abuse. Come on. You can stand up to your own folks hun
