Today, I had to explain to my mother that a lace mini-dress with an obscene amount of cleavage was not appropriate to wear while meeting my boyfriend's parents. She called me an "annoying prude" and said that with my attitude, I don't deserve to have a man. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had to explain to my mother that it's inappropriate to hit on my boyfriend when his parents are over for dinner. FML
Today, I had to explain to my 65-year-old mother that it is inappropriate for her to walk around in front of me in her underwear. Her response? "Too bad." FML
Today, my mother had a full-on hissy fit because of the clothes I was wearing. Not because she thought they were inappropriate, but because I was "stealing her look." FML
Today, I decided to dress up a little to go out to the bar. I put on a nice shirt, some leggings, and heels. When I walked out the door, my dad said that I looked like a whore. When I got to my boyfriend's house I told him what my dad had said and he replied, "I'd have to agree with him." FML
Today, my mother sat me down to tell me that since coming home from college, I sounded like "a liberated woman." She was disappointed and disturbed by this, and said that I should stop having strong opinions and ideals because it would make finding a husband for me difficult. FML
Today, my mom walked into the bathroom while I was taking a pic to send to my long-distance boyfriend. She then told me I would go to hell for flaunting myself at guys. I was fully clothed, sending a pic to see if he liked my new haircut. That and I'm 21. FML
Today, I had to tell my boyfriend to stop inviting his mother on our dates. FML
Today, my boyfriend was taking me to dinner to meet his parents. As we pulled into the restaurant valet, I saw a woman in a slutty dress and hooker heels get out of the car ahead of us. I jokingly asked if we had accidentally pulled into a strip club, pointing at the woman. It was his mother. FML
Today, my mom and I were looking at dresses for me at the mall. The cashier pointed out a dress, and my mom said, "She's definitely not going to fit into that. She's too flat-chested." FML
Today, I went to a family dinner. My grandma wasted no time calling me a slut for not wearing a dress, my dad called my police officer boyfriend a "fucking pig", and then he told my mother to "put a cock in it" when she defended me. No wonder I hardly ever visit these people. FML

Pull the parents aside and tell them she's been off her meds for a while and to not take her seriously.

How do you get that from her wearing a dress she shouldn't be wearing??

This sounds like the plot twist of a bad 70s indie movie. Oh, and by the way, I'm am your father. Anyone? No? K, I'll just sit in the corner then...

Sounds like she's "Trying" to get his Parents to not approve of you. I don't think she likes your Boyfriend much, or she's jealous :P

Honestly, I don't understand why people care about stuff like this. Why get embarrassed by someone else's actions when it has nothing to do with you? If I let my mum embarrass me, I'd just constantly be embarrassed and fighting with her to change. Her favourite pastime is telling my friends and boyfriends embarrassing stories about my childhood. There's no point telling her to stop so I just laugh it off. Who's it hurting? OP, don't worry about it, I'm sure his parents know you're not like that and won't judge you by her actions. They'll probably just think "poor kid has a crazy mum" and if they don't want to have much contact with her they don't have to. No big deal.

Actually I think you're wrong here. Stories, jokes and other embarrassing things can be laughed off. The fact that her mother wants to go out looking like an 18 year old is ridiculous. Yes, by all means dress younger but there's certain ways to dress for certain occasions. I think everyone wants both sets of parents to get on to some degree and the fact the her mum could have gone out like that might mean potential awkwardness in the future between both sets of parents. Not only that, it might cause her boyfriend's parents to talk about her behind her back putting her boyfriend in an awkward position.

I still wouldn't care if my mum went out dressed like that. And it doesn't really matter that much if the parents get along, it matters more if the kids get along with the parents. My mum doesn't like my boyfriend or his parents and it doesn't bother me at all because she's not the one that has to spend time with them. And when she says something mean about my boyfriend or his parents, I just tell her to stop. I still think people make things like this into a way bigger deal than they need to be.

And for the record, I never said it was okay for the mom to dress that way; it is definitely ridiculous and inappropriate. All I was saying is since OP can't make her mum change, she shouldn't let it bother her. If I was in her situation I'd just say "oh well, I tried. What can you do?"

This is only one of very few occasions were a lace mini dress with obscene amounts of cleavage is not ok.

She just wanted to bring all the gentleman to your bf's parents yard with her milk shake. Cougar on the prowl tonight. Watch out for the cubs now if your bf has any younger single siblings at home (depending on their age that is).

Mom just wants to find herself a boyfriend too.

Deal with her as they do in eastern Canada. Throw a potato at her head then slam her ******' cupboards!

Let her suit up and make your bf think about what he's gonna get when you are that age!!
