Today, I introduced my boyfriend to my parents. My dad looked at him and said, "Nice outfit, but it's a little late for Halloween." Before I could intervene, my boyfriend said that joke had been done to death, to which my dad retorted, "Yeah, so has your mum." Instant fistfight. FML

Today, I was introducing my boyfriend to my parents for the first time. I meant to say, "Mom, Dad, this is Tom." Instead, I said, "Mom, Dad, this is Mom." My boyfriend is now jokingly reconsidering our relationship, and my parents won't stop making fun of me. FML

Today, I took my girlfriend to meet my parents. My dad thought it'd be hilarious to act surprised and ask me if I'd already dumped the girlfriend I introduced him to yesterday. She slapped me and stormed out of the house before my dad could tell her it was a joke. FML

Today, my boyfriend met my parents. Within minutes, my dad managed to verbally sever his balls and reduce him to tears, "just for fun" apparently. FML

Today, I introduced my new boyfriend to my parents. Everyone knows he's into the emo scene, but this didn't stop my dad from slowly looking him up and down, then saying, completely deadpan, "You never told us you were a lesbian, honey." FML

Today, my boyfriend met my dad for the first time. The first thing he said to him was, "You're an idiot for dating my daughter." 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 parents met my boyfriend, and to say it went badly is an understatement. My mom went outside to relax by chain smoking and the shouting, and the screaming only ended when my dad took my boyfriend by the scruff of the neck and threw him out the front door into the street. FML

Today, my dad met my boyfriend for the first time. He soon "casually" took a huge knife from the kitchen drawer and told my boyfriend that he's always wondered what it'd be like to stab someone. FML

Today, after dating for almost a year, I decided to introduce my parents to the man I was sure I'd fallen in love with. When dad saw him, his and my boyfriend's face completely dropped. I asked them what was wrong because I could feel the discomfort. Turns out, I'm dating my dad's drug dealer. FML

If I was the boyfriend, I'd have said "touché" and went on with it. Mom jokes aren't even worth fighting over anymore.

Well at least your dad can never doubt your boyfriend's willingness to throw a punch. Now he knows you're in capable hands :-D

It's ur boyfriend's fault he should have shied off the first comment. Most dads don't like their daughter's boyfriend at first, especially when he's dress badly.

I would disagree for all we know he could have been very well dressed and the dad still made the joke. Even if he wasn't, all the BF said back was oh man that jokes been done to death which isn't really even a comeback it's more of a statement, but then the dad had to go wayyyy out of line and make a joke about the bfs mum which is just really rude especially for someone you are meeting for the very first time.

I don't blame your boyfriend for smacking your father out. He deserved it. What a way to make a first impression... your father has no respect for you. A joke is a joke but not In a situation like that. You don't make a joke about someone's mother being a *****/**** when you first meet them. Its in poor taste, and you deserve to get some sense knocked into you.
