Today, my daughter's handsome new boyfriend came to visit our house. When I opened the door, he asked me where Diana's mother was. I assumed he was about to be charming and say that he thought I was her sister. He didn't. He assumed that I was Diana's grandmother. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my boyfriend, who's a bit older than me, introduced me to his daughter. I was expecting a toddler. Nope, she's a year older than me. FML
Today, I was hanging with my boyfriend. When his mom came to pick him up, he introduced me. She talked to me politely and I thought we hit it off very well. As I was walking away, I heard her say, "That's your new girlfriend? Honey, you could do so much better." 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
Today, I brought a boy home for the first time, only to have my dad ask him what his mother's maiden name was. When he answered, my dad exclaimed, "Oh yeah! I think I dated her in high school. I could be your father!" FML
Today, my four-year-old daughter called me by her mom's new boyfriend's name. Three different times. FML
Today, a woman came up to me and sheepishly asked if my son is single. He's not my son, he's my boyfriend. FML
Today, I brought my boyfriend over to meet the family. After several long moments of silence, one of my sisters burst out laughing, and asked, "Okay, who is this guy really?" FML
Today, my mum and I were walking down a road where we met an old neighbour who recently got divorced. Her son who we hadn't seen for about 10 years was with her and he looked very handsome. I said, "oh wow ! your son has grown up so much !" The woman replied, "this is my boyfriend." FML
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, my dad's face flushed when I introduced him to my new boyfriend. I live in a small town, and it turns out my dad recognized him. He's the secret child from an affair two decades ago. He's my half-brother. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I did something like that once. I thought my friend's dad was his grandfather. In my defense, though, he's in his 60's.

Ouch. Especially if he called you a grandma after you already told him you were her mother. Unnecessary to say something like that. My mum's in her 50s, but she's always been OCD about taking care of her skin. Even though she only uses drugstore brands, she looks a good 10+ years younger than she is. People are always asking if she's my sister.

#28, she never said she told the guy she was Diana's mother. I don't think he was saying it specifically to be mean. Likely he honestly thought she was the grandmother. I know what you mean about your mom though, some people look a lot older or younger than they really are, just based on how they take care of their skin and what kind of lifestyle they've led. OP, take his words with a grain of salt. Sounds like he's just a kid, and to kids, anything more than 5 years older than them is considered "old." Don't worry about it. If you're really concerned about your appearance, just work on taking care of yourself. :)

Oh come on, he was being honest instead of charming you with stupid little lies that you have to tell to be accepted in society. What's the thing with old people trying to look young ? You had your chance, now get over it.

Sucks, but you deserve it for trying to be a MILF. Stop checking out your daughter's boyfriend.

noticing that her daughter's boyfriend is handsome does not make her a MILF....She wasn't trying to hit on him or his friends or anything and she didn't even say he was hott or sexy or anything...She just recognized that he was handsome. Hell, you can even recognize your own brother as being handsome without it being weird or creepy incest.

Well I'm sure it hurts, but it is true that some people just don't age well and look older than they really are.

That sucks, but it's not all bad. Some people are REALLY bad at guessing age (like me!) so maybe it's not that you look old, but that he's stupid. Plus, it's important how old you are. If you're around 55-60, then why SHOULDN'T you look like a grandma! And most women dye their hair, if you don't dye your hair like all the other sheep, you might look older by comparison. My mom, who's almost 60, says that it's how old you FEEL not how old you look! :D
