Today, at the age of 23, I brought my boyfriend over to meet my parents. My father swabbed his mouth for DNA and fingerprinted him. FML

kelbel89 tells us more.

Hey guys. This is the full scoop. My father is about 5'9'' and my boyfriend is 6'4''. My dad was going to intimidate him in anyway he could. He started the night off by answering the door and telling my BF that I was out on my real date for the night. Obviously, my dad has a very dry sense of humor. I don't think he was actually going to send what he collected to a lab, but he didn't crack a smile the whole time it was going on. I tried to stop him, multiple times, at which point my dad said that my boyfriend was lucky he couldn't find any latex gloves that day because it meant he was going to have to skip the prostate exam. My mother was there and thought it was hilarious. My boyfriend is wonderful and rolled with the punches. He took it very well and we are still together. :) Many of you asked if my dad works in law enforcement. Nope, he's just a Texan (which I feel I should point out my boyfriend is not). My father is incredibly proud of himself, I think even more so now that so many of the comments were in his favor. I was, and still am, absolutely mortified.

Just looking out for you. It could be worse. He couldn't give a damn about you.

Either your dads a cop or just paranoid, it's good to know he cares though right?

From Texas myself an if I have a daughter I'd probly do the same....

...only to complain all the time when you are old aged, because she is 40 and still don´t have an husband and kids. Yes, sounds like a great idea. :)

Wow. If my dad tried to pull that crap, I'd disown him. Glad your bf has a sense of humor, OP, but you've got to take a firmer stand with your father.

it was a test to see if ur bf cared enough to stay with you

not gonna lie, i wouldn't put up with the swabbing. i don't mind getting my identity checked by the family of someone i'm dating, but there are boundaries.

At least your dad doesnt shoot them as soon as they walk into the doorway...

Probably me as a parent, to be honest. I'm a mystery writer (before you ask, no, I'm not published), a forensics geek, and a worrier who knows what's out there.

Why would your boyfriend even consent to that shit?

Why in the world would he let your father do that? You're 23. The answer is no. You can't do that.
