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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to my boyfriend's house to meet his parents. After hundreds of passive-aggressive comments, my boyfriend and I went into the kitchen. I started complaining to him about how his parents were horrible and mean. Little did I know, his parents had followed us in and were right behind me. FML
Today, wanting to break up with my boyfriend, I invited him to dinner with my parents. I was sure they'd hate him, which would give me the excuse I needed. They ended up loving him, and now they won't stop mentioning marriage. FML
Today, my parents met my boyfriend for the first time. They spent the entire meal trying to convince him to dump me, all while I was sitting right next to him. FML
Today, my boyfriend stood me up. At dinner with his parents. 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 new boyfriend’s parents, hoping that they would like me. They made subtle, mean comments during dinner and made me feel like total crap, all because my boyfriend left his ex-wife for me. They don’t get that we’re both good and compatible for each other, and that’s what matters. FML

Get used to it. The tagline on my personalized stationery is: Disappointing the in-laws since 1996. You are never going to be good enough, but then again, none of us ever are. ;) If you love the guy, you can wait and take your revenge when they are old and demented. Mwahahahaha!

And even then the parents would say something like, "That girl he dated before this one made more vibrant greens in her shit rainbows. . . blah, blah, blah."

I'm lucky to never have had this problem with my boyfriend, but then again his mom is a CEO of an engineering firm so she is probably much more reasonable and realistic than some of these stay at home moms who have nothing better to do than dote on their "perfect little boy"

I skipped it once. Not a good idea.

That's why trolling for dates down at the orphanage is not such a bad idea. ;)

you guys have to realize that no girl will ever be good enough for a woman's son and no boy will ever be good enough for a man's daughter... thats how it works... its the law of parenting
