Mother knows best

Today, I was hanging with my boyfriend. When his mom came to pick him up, he introduced me. She talked to me politely and I thought we hit it off very well. As I was walking away, I heard her say, "That's your new girlfriend? Honey, you could do so much better." FML

I don't know if you did anything "wrong". Maybe you came off as standoffish (which could be because you were nervous and didn't know her). Maybe she's just a bitch. I don't know. Let's just hope that either a) your boyfriend doesn't bow/bend to what mama thinks or b) you dump his ass (as in stop associating with him altogether) before he dumps you.

Hahaha, oh that's rough. This is why you go for boys you're either hotter than or smarter than. Or a potent combination of the two. Relationships where the girl could do better generally turn out better than relationship where the boy can.

Have to agree with you. The worst is when a man thinks he is smarter than you, and he is not. Very frustrating to work around those egos, so it's better off not too.

Although this mini grammar fight has been somewhat entertaining, I find it slightly ridiculous that some of the people (namely 21, who apparently has to be right all of the time) don't even have perfect grammar. Anyway, my main point is that this mom is a total bitch. I do agree with earlier comments that you perhaps were a little stand-offish.

Darn it! It didn't post the rest of my comment... Anyway, basically what I was trying to say in my previous comment (of which only my hysterical laughter seemed to have made it through) is that I love my fellow grammar Nazis and that I honestly don't see how people can confuse your and you're. One is possessive and one is the words you and are combined... not that hard to grasp. Oh and y'all is spelled Y'ALL because it is you and all. It isn't ya'll... because that would make no sense [/OCD]. And I honestly don't think this "FML" is that big of a deal. His mom came to pick him up? In my book, there's no point in "dating" until you can drive yourself around or have some other means of transportation sans parentals (a.k.a. public? Which is sadly nonexistent in the less developed parts of the states). Trust me, I'm sure you'll have plenty of other such "puppy love" relationships before you're cast out in the real world and I'm also sure not all of their mothers will think you're heaven sent.

#14, if we're getting picky, your period should have been inside of your "quotations." :)

I wouldn't worry about it. Mom's can be a little critical of their son's girlfriends. I know my mom still has to "warm up to" my brother's new girlfriend (and by new, I mean 3 - 4 months), even though she's really pretty and the sweetest girl you'll ever meet.

I will not enter this grammar fight. It is probably the most idiotic debate I have seen in a while, despite it being on a semi-intelligent topic. This is a contradiction of terms, but dealing with those is a part of life. OP: I know how you feel. I felt the same way around the parents of one of my ex-boyfriends. Turns out, it wasn't the fact that he could do better, but it was the fact that I could do better that turned out to be the truth. See if YOU can do better before you take anything that his mother says to heart.

Mothers are very, very hard to please. My mother almost always said this about my girlfriends.
