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.

This is when you explain that grandma has a little problem telling the truth.

Hey, OP here.Just as some back ground, this is my first marriage, and my mother has been through 3. I believe she did this because she is bitter because we don't bring our son around her often, if you couldn't guess why. My.husband and I are not having any problems because of this, and I made my mom tell our son the truth. And yes, as some of you have commented, my father was my favorite parent. Plus, I also think my mother is a bitch, but she IS my mother and I love her regardless. She now has to be accompanied by me or my husband at all times while with our son and if she does anything like that again, she is grandma-grounded for a month, and will not be allowed to see him. Thanks for the comments!

Grandma-grounded. I love it. Hopefully she'll realize you aren't going to take her crap around your kids. Stand your ground, it's worth it in the end.

You're absolutely right OP. Definitely sounds like she's bitter and jealous she couldn't make 1of the 3 weddings she had, workout! It's good to hear you and your husband are doing well! Marriage has it's up's and downs... Don't let something like this cause havoc between you and the hubs! Doesn't seem like it has though... In-laws can be brutal.

I thought it would be something like this. It's good you talked to her about it.

Besides the fact your Mother said something untrue like that... She also should not be asking him who his favorite parent is. It's not right.

Haha maybe its her sense of humour, your son will realise over time she's lying anyway

Perhaps she was joking about the divorce? Or really does want you to split up

My mother has never liked my husband. I don't know if she is trying to split us up or what. all I know is she's a really rude, mean woman

Or she knows something you don't.

Your mother is a bitch. Meddling in your marriage is an atrocious act. Put your man first. Kick that woman out of your life until she respects and honors your mate.
