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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 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, my parents met my boyfriend, and to say it went badly is an understatement. My mom went outside to relax by chain smoking and the shouting, and the screaming only ended when my dad took my boyfriend by the scruff of the neck and threw him out the front door into the street. 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 boyfriend met my dad for the first time. The first thing he said to him was, "You're an idiot for dating my daughter." 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 met my boyfriend's parents for the first time. I'm already a clumsy person but became extra clumsy because I was nervous. After knocking over my drink for the fourth time, my boyfriend's mom angrily shouted "Did you actually come drunk for the first time meeting us?" FML
Today, I had a first date with a guy I met online. And his mom. 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, I met my boyfriend's mom for the first time. I introduced myself and went to shake her hand. She looked me up and down and said, "I don't shake hands with whores." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Send a text back saying "I know Dad, but he's my boyfriend - even if he is an ass"

He was probably just messing with you. But if not, that doesn't sound too good

I think he sent that to you as a joke. sometimes when my sister/friend leaves the room when we're all hanging out, we'll loudly say when she comes back "Oh come on guys, Lucy's(fake name) not THAT much of (insert insult here)" I think people do this because people are very insecure about whether people say bad things behind their back. hoping for a follow up to this FML so we can find out if it was a joke or not.

When I was away at college, my mom stopped by my girlfriend's (who is now my wife) house and tell her how completely wrong she was for me and that we should break up. I had absolutely no idea she was planning this and was livid with her. Mom's can just be really protective sometimes.

I don't understand why everyone attacked the mother. There is a lot about the situation we dont know. If the text was not a joke, it might have been about a trait (the cookies she brought over sucked...as an example). Or...the girlfriend could have been wearing cloths that you would not want your future MIL to see you in (dressed like a street walker) ....we don't know.

I wouldn't think anything of it mom and son relationships are weird.

If the mother doesn't like you 8 out of 10 times the relationship is doomed. I would suggest you try to make nice with the mom.

Did you do something bad?

Try talking to your boyfriend in person about the text! I try to look at the positive side until proven other wise. The boyfriend was trying to defend his girlfriend without getting his Mom upset. :-) As to whether the text was sent accidentally or purposely! OP, You will never know until you talk to him. I tend to think it was an accident because: 1.) It's the more positive scenario! 2.) I've accidentally sent a text to the wrong person before! I text my mother-in-law a message that I was trying to text to my own Mother! Everything was fine once I telephoned each of them to fix the problem! Remember communication is VERY important to any relationship! Good luck OP!

Oh please let him have just been pulling your leg. If he wasn't joking, and it was me, I think I'd avoid them all forever. I'd either be mortified or pissed at being judged so negatively on a first meeting. (Probably a good thing I can't read my in-laws minds) : )
