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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I met my girlfriend's parents for the first time over dinner. In order to make a good impression, I was as polite as possible, and tried to be as engaging as I could. Near the end of dinner, my girlfriend's mom says, "I liked your old boyfriend better." FML
Today, I brought my boyfriend home to meet my family. The first thing my mom said to him was, “Oh, you can do so much better. Like a paint huffer or a crack whore.” She was serious, and my entire family nodded in agreement. FML
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 met my boyfriend's parents for the first time. I thought everything went well, until I got a text from him later saying, "Come on mom, she isn't THAT bad." FML
Today, I met my boyfriend's parents. We've been dating for almost 5 months and are extremely in love. His mom basically said to me, "I want what’s best for my son and you aren’t it." FML
Today, I nervously introduced my mother to my new boyfriend. I had to sit and watch her flirt with him for an hour. When I took her in the other room and confronted her about it, she said, "Don't you dare ruin this for me!" FML
Today, I met my boyfriend's parents. Later on, his mom pulls me aside and tells me to back off, saying he will never marry someone like me and he should be with a nice girl like his ex. They broke up after he found her in his bed with his roomate. FML
Today, I introduced my boyfriend to my parents for the first time. My dad took one look at him, sighed and said, "You deserve someone better. Someone who is responsible, and has their priorities straight in life." Beyond upset, I told my dad that I love him. My dad disgruntledly responded, "I was talking to him." FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed to me. Everything was going perfectly, right up until he brought me back to his house to tell his family the good news. When I excused myself to the restroom, I overheard his mom say, "I thought you were going to break up with that stupid slut?" Welcome to the family. FML
Today, my mom decided to tell me about her new boyfriend. I know him. I've slept with him. FML

I don't know if you did anything "wrong". Maybe you came off as standoffish (which could be because you were nervous and didn't know her). Maybe she's just a bitch. I don't know. Let's just hope that either a) your boyfriend doesn't bow/bend to what mama thinks or b) you dump his ass (as in stop associating with him altogether) before he dumps you.

My mom said the same thing about my ex-gf, and she said the same thing about my little brothers gf's. No one is ever good enough for a mother's child.

ive been in the guy's place. it's not fun either. my mom harps on my dating choices all the time. 23, i agree, nothing will ever be good enough for your child.

It's a shame, I've met a few mothers like this. No one is ever good enought for their precious child.

#16: Why, thank you. I am proud of my grammar, my punctuation and my collection of books on the subject. #17: The brain may be able to interpret jumbled words, but that doesn't include your/you're, nor does it make bad spelling any more correct, or any less annoying. #18: I think I love you for pluralising "ellipsis" properly. And #20: Yes. Yes, it is necessary. There is never a place for bad grammar (with the possible exception of lolcats, haha). I love this site. It's like a soap opera on crack. Stupid, rife with delusions and completely addictive.

"When his mom came to pick him up." That right there indicates you're too young, or he's too dumb.

Oh, thank God there are some grammatically correct people on this website. Just when I thought there was no hope... Heh, I'm quite a grammar stickler nowadays, but even so, I can't resist FML. It really is like a soap opera on crack.

She's a bitch, end of story. Funny discussion going on. Completely necessary though. I shouldn't say anything, because my grammar is not good in English at all, but... I'm with you guys.
