Today, my Jewish boyfriend came over for my extended family's Easter party. My grandmother made fun of him for being Jewish so badly, that he left, crying. She doesn't see what she did wrong. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend came over to my parents' house for dinner. My dad made Holocaust jokes the entire time. My boyfriend is Jewish. FML
Today, my religious parents were hosting a family dinner. Not only did we have to wait over an hour for my grandma to finally show up, but when she did, she had her 30 year old boytoy in tow. Apparently, "Granny has needs too you know, hahaha!" Goodbye peaceful family. FML
Today, I was having lunch with my fiancé's family. After he excused himself to use the bathroom, his grandmother glared at me, sneered, "I never liked you" and kept eating while the others smirked. When my fiancé returned, everyone pretended nothing had happened. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because I "always wear that stupid little hat." I'm Jewish. FML
Today, my boyfriend showed up at my grandmother's wake in torn jeans and a Family Guy t-shirt. When I took him aside asked him what the hell he was thinking, he lost his temper and stormed out. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I were being driven home from our date by her mother. She's Jewish and I'm Catholic. Her mother was talking about how my girlfriend was going on a trip to Jerusalem that summer. She finished with "And you can find a nice Jewish boy while you're there." FML
Today, my boyfriend and I went to my parents' barbecue. He knew my family is extremely religious, so what did he do? Called for silence to make an announcement, namely: "God isn't real." Cue a riot that ended in us being kicked out and me all but disowned for "putting him up to it". FML
Today, I watched my mother tell a man that the holocaust was "a good thing" and "necessary for population control". That man was my girlfriend's father. Who is Jewish. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I spent all day preparing an amazing meal for my extended family, and then 3 hours before dinner his crazy mother forced him home because she felt "excluded". He's spent the past 3 days with her. There's no way for me to keep him and get rid of her. FML
Today, my boyfriend of 2 years decided to tell an unimaginably rude joke to my grandma while at my house. She hit him over the head with a vase, and he's threatening to press charges. I still don't know whose side to take. FML

I believe in respecting my elders, however is this situation I would have pulled my grandmother aside at the very first comment she made. I would have told her apologize and to change the subject and that if she continued WE would be leaving. Your boyfriend is a guest and should be treated with respect. I know family is important but there are lines you just dont cross. I can't believe you let the insults continue to the point he was crying. It's your family and you needed to have controlled the situation.

Your grandma's a bitch. That's so horrible. Hopefully you'll be able to patch things up with your bf.

Why must Easter always be a time for bashing Jews.

Religion-based bigotry sucks. She's making a kid cry because he doesn't have the same imaginary friend as her. Ridiculous.

Why? If you believe it then the opinions of others should not matter to you. If the opinions of others do matter to you and you believe it defend it don't just cry about it that makes it fun to mess with you about.

It's true, 83, that the opinions of others shouldn't have an effect on what you believe in, but it's also true that nobody should have to endure being personally attacked. You can stand strong in your beliefs but also be vulnerable to being insulted because of those beliefs. That's terrible, OP. I hope you apologized on her behalf and told Granny that her behavior was entirely unacceptable. I don't care how old you are, it doesn't give you the right to verbally abuse.

You should tell grandma he proposed and you said yes and are converting to the Jewish faith see if that stops her heart

Just because they are men doesn't mean that they don't have feelings. There are many men that are sensitive to what people say / do / think about things that mean something to them. And being sensitive doesn't make you gay, it just means you are comfortable with sharing your feelings.

My wife is Jewish & so is her 84-year old grandmother who for a time was a prisoner at Auschwitz. Right, so, granny fight?

There must not have been enough candy at the Easter party. She could've chewed it over with Twix, or rebooted her morals with a Snickers bar.
