Today, I met my fiancée's parents for the first time. Her dad was telling me how he's not rich but not poor either. I replied, "Well, as long as you're not a garbage man!" Guess what his profession is. FML

Today, my parents met my fiancée's parents for the first time in a large family gathering two weeks before our formal wedding. Both sets of parents were telling funny stories about our pasts. My dad's story won. He told how I spent a week in jail earlier this year. FML

Today, I went with my fiancé to meet his parents. He was really sweet the whole way there, and once we got there he introduced me as 'the girl I'm going to marry'. His parents took one look at me and said, "Are you sure?" I laughed, because I thought they were joking. They weren't. FML

Today, my fiancé paid a visit to my parents so he could ask my dad's permission to marry me. My dad responded with, "Why buy the cow when you can milk it for free?" FML

Today, my fiancé and his family accused me of being with him only because he's rich, refusing to go ahead with the wedding. I accepted his marriage proposal 4 years ago, when he was penniless and unemployed. FML

Today, I brought my boyfriend home to meet my family. The first thing my mom said to him was, “Oh, you can do so much better. Like a paint huffer or a crack whore.” She was serious, and my entire family nodded in agreement. FML

The woman you're about to marry never told you what her father did for a living?

Garbage men are actually rolling in it though. In Australia they get paid more than teachers.

Why the **** are you marrying someone you don't know well enough to know what her parents do for a living? YDI for being an idiot.

Not really.. I've been married for 5 years and I just recently got a good idea of what my FIL does. Of course, in his case, it involves having specific security clearance with the military and living overseas, so maybe that's why. The fam always brushed it off as "something too boring to explain."

Well, I can only give my anecdote (and perhaps speak for a few of my close friends/relatives), but I knew what my husbands parents do before we were engaged, and before I met them for the first time. My sister knows what her boyfriend's parents do (and so do I, for that matter), and I think that knowing this information is common amongst my friends/family. It just comes up in conversation. OP-think before you insult something next time! Even if your future FIL wasn't a garbage man, what if his father was? or his brother, or someone else he is close too/respected?
