Date night
Today, I got the courage to ask my mom if I could go to the movies alone on my first date with my new boyfriend. She said OK, which was surprising because she never lets me go anywhere alone. When I got to the theatre with him I saw my mom. She had saved seats for us. FML

You really shouldn't have
Today, I was awakened by knocking on my door, only to find my parents standing there. Turns out, they booked two one-way tickets to visit me from another country. Their plan? I should scrap my upcoming 2-week vacation to hang out because they invested in this trip. Oh, and they didn't book a hotel. I'm 31. FML

Parental advice
Today, I was going on my first date. I was planning my outfit with my mom when my dad offered his advice. “That boy won’t care what outfit you’re wearing, just make sure you wear sexy underwear and carry a condom, guaranteed first date success. That’s how me and your mom got married, you know?” FML

Damn, now you have enough extra wheels for a full car! They probably just don't have enough reasons to get out anymore.

Maybe you should just invite your date to your house.

Hopefully they will sit a couple tables away to make things less awkward.

Hopefully they don't pull out the embarassing pictures and stories!

This is why I didn't tell my parents whenever I had a boyfriend in highschool. They wanted to get to know him before I went on a date with him, and if they didn't approve I couldn't date him.

I'm 22 and my family still knows nothing about my personal life because they did shit like that when I was younger.

Sad. If parents will be real parents and build trust this shouldn't have to happen. Raise them in a way that you trust their judgement and everybody wins!

That sucks OP, hopefully they won't be too annoying on your date

You'll be alright as long as your like 12 and they aren't taking a shotgun too. Otherwise you really should tell them to but out.

#30 if my kid ever told me to butt out she'd find herself picking her teeth up off the floor. I'm willing to bet you'd never have the grapes to say it to your parents either so maybe YOU should butt out.

See my #90 above. It's all about trusting them, and vice versa...

That's just a little bit crazy. Depends on how old you are though. If you're anything above 16-17 years old, this is not cool. I think it's embarrassing at any age though. Parents need to let go.

Well, you never know. Maybe you and your date will joke about it later on!

This is a very reason why kids do things behind their backs. Sad :(
