Today, on more than one occasion, I was mistaken for my boyfriend's mother, by his own family. FML

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, I was mistaken for my twin brother twice. This probably wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't a girl. FML

Today, someone thought I was my boyfriend's daughter, instead of his girlfriend. I'm 4'11", he's 6'2", and this has happened four times already. FML

Today, I met my boyfriend's entire extended family at a party. All of them, including his dad, said I looked exactly like his mum. FML

Steve? Pete?
Today, I found out that I've been calling my boyfriend's dad by the wrong name for the past two years. No one had told me sooner because they liked laughing at me for it when I wasn't around. 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 was introducing my boyfriend to my parents for the first time. I meant to say, "Mom, Dad, this is Tom." Instead, I said, "Mom, Dad, this is Mom." My boyfriend is now jokingly reconsidering our relationship, and my parents won't stop making fun of me. FML

Time is on my side
Today, I, a person who will be 21 in a few months, was mistaken for my mom's older brother. My mom is in her fifties. Apparently this is becoming increasingly common, because the world sucks. I didn't realize it was affecting me this badly. FML

Today, I met my boyfriend's parents for the first time. His mom stared at me throughout dinner before finally blurting out, "I'm sorry, I can't get past the fact that you look just like his ex!" It turns out I do. FML

This could work for you. They might accept you more, if you like your boyfriends mum. Make the best out of a "bad" situation.

This is a sign that you should probably change your 80's hairstyle and clothing. Don't want your future father-in-law feeling you up from behind!

Better than father!

I hope this wasn't by way of getting slapped on this ass by your boyfriend's dad.

So you're dating Oedipus Rex? At least now you know his "type". If you haven't met his mom yet, you should mirror her movements just to freak her out. ;) And step away from the mom jeans!

Because that this is 4 minutes after the last Oedipus comment someone needs to work on their originality.

Whatever dude. I was interrupted mid- comment and didn't go back to check the other comments before I finally posted. Jeez. 'Someone' needs to pull the wedgie out of their ass! I'm not your ******' jester.

I always go commando therefor jokes on you I have no wedgie. However I do have the occasional stick up my ass. ;)

Could be a good thing, just because you're compared to someone older doesn't mean they think you look that way. She could look younger for her age, and that could be a good thing for the both of you... Also if they saw you from behind and thought that, then that could be alright, they are comparing your body and not your faces?

Some men subconsciously search for women that remind them of their mothers.

Not some men, all men. And vise Vera with daughters and their fathers

If they didn't prove it wrong, they need to! I definitely am not attracted to anyone who reminds me of my father in a physical, mental or emotional aspect.
