Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my Jewish boyfriend came over for my extended family's Easter party. My grandmother made fun of him for being Jewish so badly, that he left, crying. She doesn't see what she did wrong. FML
Today, I watched my mother tell a man that the holocaust was "a good thing" and "necessary for population control". That man was my girlfriend's father. Who is Jewish. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I were being driven home from our date by her mother. She's Jewish and I'm Catholic. Her mother was talking about how my girlfriend was going on a trip to Jerusalem that summer. She finished with "And you can find a nice Jewish boy while you're there." FML
Today, I took my boyfriend to a family dinner. It went well, until my dad got drunk and started telling everyone about how "midgets" are assholes and are ruining America. 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, I decorated my boyfriend's house for Christmas as a surprise, just in time for him and his family to come home. Also just in time for him to tell me he's Jewish. FML
Today, my parents invited my Muslim boyfriend over for dinner for the first time. My mother made sure that everything including the salad had pork in it. FML
Today, my boyfriend came over for dinner for the first time. As a joke, my dad answered the door wearing the white church robes that he wears when he is lay-reading during a church service, and said, "Welcome, child of God." FML
Today, my boyfriend stood me up. At dinner with his parents. 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

Oh god, my Dad can be like this, especially when drunk. We've now threatened him with putting a blanket over his head so he would go to sleep, like one would do to a misbehaving budgie.

Your dad must've put fear in your heart for you not to stop the bashing your boyfriend was getting from your father. You should've brought an awkward situation you had before to get that focus fire on you that your father was spilling out.

Why do people think holocaust jokes are funny? I'm not even jewish but I still think they are insensitive.

Same as kamakazy jokes or black jokes or rape in prison jokes. It's some people's way of dealing with something or just a thing nervous people can't help. Stop bein so sensative .Learn to laugh and move on with life. Or live in the depressing past...your choice.

Because people forget. They have no idea how others suffered, and the conditions that the victims lived and died in. Sadly our " all about me" culture has allowed this to happen.

I'm not really that sensitive. I just think a joke about the murder of 6 million people isn't that funny. I guess I have my opinion, you have yours.

That's why we have school. So we know not to let the Germans f*ck up again or let one nut job have so much power. After lesson is learned move the hell on. Or like I said..stay in the depressing past it's your choice

Look I'm cool with Jewish people I'm part Jewish on my fathers side but a joke is a joke common now even I can admit my nose is big for the average American girl

Why didn't you say something to your dad to stop? It's pretty sad that you wouldn't attempt to stick up for your boyfriend and would allow him to have to put up with such an uncomfortable situation.

My dad, when making Polish jokes in front of his nice Polish carer: All of us: "Shut up, [name redacted]!" Dad: "*keeps going*" All of us: "Look, just shut up." Dad: "*keeps going*" It took about five goes to get him to stop.

I had a similar experience with my best friend who was Jewish. My mother was taking about my father and his affinity to haggle by saying, "Your dad likes to Jew them down." But her face instantly paled with embarrassment as the words came out and she excused herself. That was the last time I ever heard her use that phrase.
