Today, my boyfriend and I had breakfast with his grandmother. She told him how I'm prettier than "that Mexican" he'd brought home for dinner last week. We had dinner with her last week, and I'm that same Mexican. She then went on to how Mexicans are what's wrong with the economy. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was at my boyfriend's grandmother's house meeting her for the first time. I excused myself to the restroom and as I walked out of the room I heard her say, "You could do a lot better. She's fat." Then I heard my boyfriend reply, "I know." FML
Today, I showed up at my boyfriend's work to surprise him by speaking in Spanish, his first language. I've been taking classes secretly. He smiled, kissed me, and then finished telling his friend, in Spanish, that I'm boring and ugly but he's got nothing better going on. FML
Today, while doing the grocery shopping with my boyfriend we came across another woman also out shopping, who looked shockingly like me despite her being another race, hair color and the like. The second he saw her, he blurted out, ''Oh, it's a pretty version of you!'' 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 fiancé and I visited his family for dinner. The entire time I was there, his mother and sister had an in depth conversation about how attractive his ex girlfriends were and how they got along with them so well. FML
Today, while having dinner with my boyfriend's family, his mom told me that it looks like I've gained quite some weight. When my boyfriend told her that this was a rude thing to say, she said it wasn't rude, just the truth. FML
Today, my boyfriend compared me to an unattractive actress. When I said it was sort of messed up to say that to me since she's not pretty, he said, "She's not as bad as you." FML
Today, my now-ex boyfriend treated our waitress like shit. She was a young lady who just came from Venezuela and barely spoke English. He gave her no tip, ranted about “fixing this goddamn border problem” along with xenophobic slurs. Apparently, he’d forgotten I’m an immigrant too, from Colombia. FML
Today, I was having lunch with my fiancé's family. After he excused himself to use the bathroom, his grandmother glared at me, sneered, "I never liked you" and kept eating while the others smirked. When my fiancé returned, everyone pretended nothing had happened. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were at a restaurant with a few other couples, and my boyfriend started to rant on how "all the hot chicks are dumb." Apparently, I'm either ugly or stupid. FML

There's Alzheimer's and then there's racist Alzheimer's.

This is the perfect opportunity to play practical jokes... She obviously deserves it, and Alzheimer's practical jokes all but do themselves.

33 - It isn't the laborers and the farm workers thats the problem. It's the ones that come over illegally, don't do anything and live off of the government giving them money every month that cause the issue.

The government doesn't help illegals! Most of them are afraid to get near "the government" because of their status, but I do agree coming here illegally to **** up ur life, drink, use drugs is a waste!

12 - The thought of an old woman saying "Get the **** out" in a serious tone made me lol for some odd reason.

She sounds like a treat... Just assume she's bat shit crazy and things will be easier to ignore... Or you can put on your best accent and threaten her when y'all are alone ;)

Don't worry op, grandma's are usually forgetful like this... Just take it with a grain of salt.

My grandmother has pick's disease so she goes on rants from time to time. I just have to say "yes ma'am" and remember that she doesn't know what she's talking about. It'll be okay OP

For a second there I thought this was going to be one of those FMLs where the boyfriend is revealed to be a cheater by another relative lol. Cheer up OP, memory isn't a blessing for everyone as we reach that age :P

Well at least you're looking prettier than last week. That's a silver lining
