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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 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 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
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 finally invited my girlfriend over to meet my oddball parents. The first words out of my dad's mouth were, "So, you're the silly girl who agreed to date my dickhead son." It went downhill from there. FML
Today, I was introducing my boyfriend to my parents for the first time. I meant to say, "Mom, Dad, this is Tom." Instead, I said, "Mom, Dad, this is Mom." My boyfriend is now jokingly reconsidering our relationship, and my parents won't stop making fun of me. 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, I met my boyfriend's parents for the first time. His mom stared at me throughout dinner before finally blurting out, "I'm sorry, I can't get past the fact that you look just like his ex!" It turns out I do. FML
Today, my mother invited me to a nice restaurant to meet her boyfriend whom she's been seriously dating for a month. Imagine my surprise when she led me to a table and my boyfriend's father stood up, shocked, to greet me. Rather than being horrified, she is now planning double dates every week. FML
Today, I met my boyfriend's parents for the first time. His father was completely wasted, his mom was high, and his 11-year-old sister was talking about her favorite alcoholic drinks at the dinner table. FML

Proper answer: nothing. Proceed to put on sunglasses, and moonwalk out of the room.

If his mom is already that cool with you, it will be an easy relationship for you OP.

I'm sorry to be that guy, but it should be "you're".

I don't see anything wrong with his mom's comment.

Unless she didn't say it as a joke and said it disapprovingly. I really hope she was joking though and trying to lighten the mood.

I agree with 41. If OP says it was already awkward she was probably just trying to break the Ice. And she did. And it was awesome.

why can't people use 'you're' and 'your' 'then' and 'than' right? i mean after all the years on the web? you're = you are. your = possessive. come on people, except you're not a native english speaker. gee whiz *rant over* OP at least it's better than parents who'd like to point a shotgun at anyone their kid is going out with. Plus, it's hilarious.. where'd your funny bone go?

#22 -- When people say they're sorry or they hate being "that guy", it's usually a blatant lie. Ease off, if he posted it from his phone the autocorrect might have screwed him over, rather than helped him.

Well 51, I don't think it's fair to rant about grammar when you aren't putting capital letters in correctly. Plus "except you're not a native speaker"? That's missing a word.

Honestly joke or not a joke I wouldn't want my boyfriends parents saying that to me. Awkward and embarrassing. I would also be a little offended. I feel like they should respect my privacy. I don't talk about their sex lives. I would think that would be disrespectful. I know I'll be thumbed down but those are my views on the subject.
