Today, I was invited to my boyfriend's house for dinner for the first time. His mom made a fantastic dinner, so I showed my appreciation by eating the lot. Apparently I was overdoing it because when I looked up everyone was staring. His dad muttered, "Slow the hell down." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had dinner for the first time with my boyfriend's parents. It was awkward enough without his mom asking, "So, what do you do for fun, besides my son?" FML
Today, I was invited by my boyfriend's parents for dinner at their house. The dinner went well I thought, until I was getting ready to leave. Before I could make it out the front door, I could hear them discussing their disappointment that their son would ever consider someone like me. FML
Today, I was out to dinner with my boyfriend and his parents. It was my first time meeting them, so I was a bit nervous. As we were talking, I accidentally let out a loud burp. His parents looked at me in shock, and my boyfriend just laughed and said, "Well, she's certainly comfortable around you two." FML
Today, I brought my boyfriend of a year and a half to meet my parents. Turns out he dated my mom. This should be a fun dinner. FML
Today, I invited a friend over for dinner and spent hours preparing a fancy meal. When I opened the door, he walked in with his new girlfriend, his mom, his sister, and his dog. I barely had enough food for one, let alone five. I ended up serving my fancy meal on paper plates. FML
Today, I had to explain to my mother that it's inappropriate to hit on my boyfriend when his parents are over for dinner. FML
Today, my boyfriend took me home to have dinner with his parents. I couldn’t eat a single bite after watching his mom let her three dogs taste all the food off her hands, while she also licked her own fingers while cooking. Later on, he dumped me for being rude and “too high maintenance." FML
Today, my parents finally invited my boyfriend over for dinner. Everything was going great until my mother asked him his profession. He stuffed his mouth full of lasagna, snorted, and then responded, "I clean shit for a living." 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

Hey, at least you aren't one of those food-phobic girls. My bro dated one, she was insane!

Who cares if you ate fast. However I think the point of meeting the parents is so they get to know you. So compliment her food and talk to them. I think you scared them by eating so fast. I think it's funny and cool when people eat so fast but not everyone thinks the same.

With your next BF, don't starve yourself before you meet the parents. Get a burger first.

A simple, Mrs. Smith your cooking is very good. Or Mrs. Smith this meal is delicious. Maybe if you were a Viking they would take, you eating fast as a compliment...

Did you consider simply telling her that she did a good job making the meal?

Dad sees the writing on the wall. You're probably in good shape now, butt once you land his boy, you're going to let yourself go and become one of those fat, frumpy soccer moms with a shitty haircut. Sorry about the double standard, but only guys impress moms by eating massive quantities. I don't make the rules. . .

You can show your appreciation by telling her...

What I do is eat a moderate amount and then help with dishes afterwards. Shows you are grateful and that you have manners. Scarfing food makes parents think you are in a hurry to leave. I know you were nervous OP, but just slow down next time and help with dishes :) wins them over fast.

How distasteful.
