Today, while visiting my mother, she asked my son who his favorite parent was. As a growing boy, he chose his father. I don't mind, except she then asked, "So, whose side are you taking in the divorce?" My husband and I have no marital issues. My son refuses to believe us. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my husband came home from shopping with my 4 year-old daughter, and showed me a shirt she picked out herself. The shirt read "My mom's easy - I'm living proof." Apparently she just liked the colours and her father agreed. FML
Today, my 5-year-old son made a drawing of our living room, with the addition of an apparition, and the text, "I can see you. Daddy doesn't see you. Who are you?" FML
Today, while my husband and I were arguing, he walked away in the middle of my sentence yelling, "Remember babe, you're only my current wife!" FML
Today, my mother and I walked past my boyfriend, whom she's never met. After we casually greeted each other and went on our way, my mother said, "He's cute. Who is he?" I paused for a second and replied, "That's my boyfriend." She then said, "Does he know that?" FML
Today, I was with my 3 year-old son in the doctor's office. During the exam, he informed the doctor that he doesn't sleep in mommy's bed anymore because mommy sleeps in her underwear and farts all night long. FML
Today, I was arguing with my dad. I called him a geriatric fool. He replied with, "Well at least I know who my biological father is." I have no idea if he's joking. FML
Today, my boyfriend dumped me, all because he's scared of my mother. FML
Today, I realized that my 3 year-old son, who is being potty trained, has better aim standing up to pee than his 30 year-old father. FML
Today, I found out that my boyfriend of two years has a beautiful daughter. That's cool, except she's one year old. FML
Today, I came home from work to find my son and his friends attempting to find out how many of them could fit into one of my pairs of pants. So far, five. FML

Your mother is despicable. Why would she even do that?

She's attempting to plant the seed that will grow into an inevitable divorce. Clever girl.

He should believe you eventually...not everything that Grandma says is true even though most children think all things they really think are true...

Yeah Op, don't you know he'll grow out of everything he believes to be true, as truth. Silly kids, believing everything you believe as the true truth. I don't think that's normal, #55.

Maybe you should divorce HER.

Your mother sounds like a toxic individual. She will likely try to justify it in some way (perhaps the old "I was just kidding, take a joke"), but make no mistake - that kind of behavior is passively sadistic and should not be tolerated. If this was a one time event, then perhaps you can all move on, but otherwise, it might be wise to limit your son's exposure to his grandmother, to protect him (and all of you) from her cruel machinations.

I like how you assume that's the reason why he chose his dad!

My grandmother would do the same to me and my older siblings. buy she'd put us in the corner if we chose our dad

Yet another Monster-in-Law. My parents and grandparents all seemed to get along well, so it's hard for me to understand it.

my dad's the one that seems determined to ruine all my relationships.. why I never let my parents find out I had a bf back in the day, or even now really. At least until I know we are serious enough that my dad won't get to them. still several my dad has gotten ahold of and after a long talk with the dad things come to a quick end.. still have no idea what my dad could be saying to them but he always justifies it by saying since he doesn't like them for whatever rediculous reason that it's for the best. Haha then he gets all emo and hurt when he finds out I only trust mom to talk to about my life. I guess I kinda still love him tho... sorta. old bastard. so yea sorry about your mother. is she the type of person who's full if jokes, or not so much? but even if it was all meant to be light.hearted it's not OK.. some people don't know where to draw the kines with joking.
