Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, I finally got to meet my boyfriend's parents; it turns out that his mum is my therapist. I've just spent an entire morning telling her how confused I am about my sexuality. FML

Today, I went to meet my boyfriend's parents for the first time. His mother, seconds upon meeting me, gave me a hug, smiled at me, and said: "It's so nice to finally meet you! All I ever hear is 'Emma this', and 'Emma that', 'I love Emma!'. He never stops talking about you!" My name's not Emma. FML

Nice to meet you… again
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 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 introduced my boyfriend to my parents. My dad turns around and says he was expecting him to have a guide dog. This is why I don't have much confidence in myself. FML

Even though your mom may have just tried to be funny, you should talk about it with her OP. Good luck

"Mom, never try to be funny in front of company." Yeah, that should go down well.

Well yah, its ok to be humorous, but there is such a thing as taking it too far
k_cummins 21
I don't think she took it too far. It wasn't rude, offensive, or even embarrassing. I would have just laughed.

I'd prefer those parents over ones that hate me just for the simple fact that I'm their boyfriend

And thinking how he couldn't live without her (him?) by his side.

Spending nights thinking how she did him wrong?

And he grew strong, and learned how to get along.

Simple. Mom's pretending to be a crazy person who thinks she's not. Or actually is crazy and thinks she's not.

I'm feeling like OP is a guy. That would make this FML make sense.

Ok, yeah there's that. Didn't even notice.

It's from the show Jane the Virgin. Petra is the crazy expensive wife of Raphael

Idk, if my partner's parent said that to me I would've found it kind of cute and funny. Like they are trying to make a good impression and maybe got nervous. I sure as hell said things I regretted instantly.

That pretty embarrassing... However Some people get flustered when meeting someone new (especially a new boyfriend). I am sure you can all laugh and move on . :)

Ok, it's official…I'm going to introduce myself to any future boyfriends/girlfriends brought home to me by saying "hi I'm the crazy one"
PenguinsLaugh 24
I like that idea!
gracehi 33
Seems legit. I'd totally take her word for it.

That's hilarious! I would love to meet your mom!

Well at least she ain't un-normal like "Hi I'm Petra, I kill people"
