Today, I met my future mother-in-law. All went well; she complimented my dress, and I complimented her haircut. Then she and her son had a screaming match over how our children will be fat because of their mother. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my future mother-in-law finally admitted that I'm "not the girl for her son" and that she will do anything to break us up. FML
Today, my awful future daughter-in-law went off on me and said that I'm just jealous that she's marrying my son and I'm not. Furious, I told my husband, expecting him to side with me, but all he said was, "Well… are you?" FML
Today, my future mother-in-law started shit-talking me on Facebook, and we got into a heated argument. She called me later in the day, saying I'll be lucky if I ever marry her son and that, "You'll suffer to your last breath." I'm now terrified to set foot outside. FML
Today, I visited my in-laws, whom I thought I was on great terms with. I soon learned that wasn't the case when my mother-in-law yelled at me about how I've been abusing her for years. Ten minutes later, she hugged me and asked me for grandkids. FML
Today, my fiancé and I met his mother for lunch to discuss wedding plans. When we got there, I went to the bathroom to wash my hands. I heard a woman talking on her cell phone in the stall about her son's "disgusting, slutty girlfriend." The toilet flushed and my future mother-in-law walked out. FML
Today, I learned that if you complain to your mom about your future mother-in-law's bitchiness, your overprotective mom might confront her about it and end up punching her in the face. My fiancée blames me for the incident. FML
Today, at preschool, I got to meet the mother of my daughter's best friend. She complimented mine's grades, and noted her quirkiness. I complimented her's for being congenial and being well-rounded. Later, my daughter said they are no longer besties because her mom said I called her daughter fat. FML
Today, I met my future in-laws, two lesbian ladies. Can you imagine that, two mothers-in-law judging me for daring to want to marry their precious baby boy? By the time we left, it felt like they’d extracted every iota of information about me through my skin with sandpaper and rusty barbecue tongs. FML
Today, my future mother-in-law blamed me for the death of her husband because I should have taken him to the ER when she didn't feel like it. She then blamed me for her getting a new boyfriend less than two months later and making her son hate her when she insisted he call the guy "Dad". FML
Today, I met my boyfriend's mother for the first time. She has early onset dementia, butt was a pretty OK day. All was going well until she looked at her son and said he was skinny, which admittedly he is quite skinny, but then looked me dead in the eye and said, "You need to lose weight." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

At least she complimented you...

Yipes. First, find out if this is out-of-character and she just handles stress and change really, really badly (and was having an adverse reaction to meds, too....) If it's out-of-character, give her the benefit of the doubt and meet with her when she's her normal self. If it's in-character, talk to your husband BEFORE marriage about how to handle her. Go over it now. From the fact he was arguing with her, he might well know what she's like and totally have your back. But figure out before hand how to handle a lot of issues, and do it before the wedding. Otherwise, she just might decide to insult you when you are in your gown and ready to walk down the aisle in five minutes...asking if you couldn't find some style that covered your back fat, and did you know it made your butt look huge, and why didn't you go on a starvation diet to get down to size 2 for your wedding? So, cover it all NOW. Worst case AND best case scenarios. What do you do if she turns out to actually like you and is just concerned about your health and that of your family, but has terrible social skills to relate that concern for your well-being? Best of luck, and I REALLY hope it's a one-time event! Right now, it's a true FML. Sorry!!!!

Different people have different comfort zones and ways of doing things, but I would never accept a proposal without getting to know my partner's family first. The (often ugly) truth is, when you get married, you're marrying your spouse's family as well as your spouse, so you have to consider whether these are people you want in your life.

I find it a bit odd that you became engaged before meeting his mom...but of course we don't know the whole story. and regardless, that's really ridiculous for her to say.

A lot of people keep saying how weird they find it that they got engaged before meeting the families. A lot of people don't live that close to their families in their adult lives and can't afford to take time off work and make a big potentially expensive trip to visit family. Or maybe his mom had a rule about not wanting to meet any girls unless they were planning to get married. My dad didn't even want me to really mention any guys I was dating until it'd been a while. Or maybe he's just not close to his family, my husband and I aren't. There's tons of reasons that she didn't meet her inlaws before the engagement. My husband and I see his mom about twice a year since she moved out of state, his dad at the holidays if their not fighting, my mom about once a month and my dad about every three to four months.
