Today, my boyfriend of 2 years decided to tell an unimaginably rude joke to my grandma while at my house. She hit him over the head with a vase, and he's threatening to press charges. I still don't know whose side to take. FML

The problem is not the problem. The problem is your grandmas reaction to the problem. That's the problem.

Well, your boyfriend seems like an asshole for wanting to press charges, however granny didn't need to hit him over the head with a vase. Perhaps everyone can sit down and settle things like adults? Hopefully this will teach your boyfriend to keep his rude jokes to himself!

No matter how rude the joke was, Grandma should not have hit him over the head with a vase. Sorry Grandma, but I'm taking his side on this one.

You take your grandmothers. Period. He was in the wrong and legitimately has no right to be crass in front of your family. He should be respectful enough of you to respect your family. Never take a mans side until he is your husband. Period.

"Never take a man's side unless he is your husband." I actually find it hard to believe somebody would post something so vague. So if the grandmother ended up killing him you would still be on her side? Kill yourself.

I just wouldn't take sides. Tell your boyfriend that while your grandma over reacted, he also was stupid for telling that joke. Then explain to the two of them that you love them both, but they both messed up and you want to be left out of it.

You have a kick ass grandma. My grandma would do the same thing. (:

The younger generation now is filled with *******. Why? Because they don't get disciplined. If I was disrespectful towards a friends mother/father/grandma/grandpa, I got my butt beat. I still got my ass beat with a belt when I was in high school. Parents now are softer, and they bend to the way society thinks they should be and act the way society wants them to act. I work as a cashier, and sometimes we get kids that are screaming their damn heads off because they're mad, for whatever reason. I actually want to congratulate the parents if they spank the kid. Because its not something that happens often anymore. This younger generation is so disrespectful, and so hateful, and so damn whiny. It annoys the hell out of me. My youngest nephew is 4, and I can't stand to be around him because if he acts up and you even say that you'll spank him for being bad, he wails like a freaking baby. My youngest niece is also 4, my sister and her husband actually disiplined her and showed her that there are consequences for when you're bad, or do something wrong. She isn't an angel, but she's alot better than my nephew. She understands that there are things you do not do. He doesnt. Maybe the grandma over reacted, but we don't know the joke OP's bf made. It could have been something so offensive to her, that she just got mad enough about it and reacted without thinking it through. I've done that before, so it's not selective only to her.

If the situation were reversed, and it was the grandma who offended the boyfriend, would you back him up for smashing a vase over her head? It's assault, plain and simple. It's his right to press charges if he wishes. The common statements along the lines that it's okay to hit him because he's a guy or because she's old are plain wrong. As far as the disciplining your kids argument goes, you might have a point that he shouldn't have told the joke, but you're overlooking the fact that HE'S NOT HER CHILD. If I had a child, and spanked them for talking back, that's one thing, but if I were to spank a stranger's kid, I'd be in trouble.

113, spanking a child for misbehaving and hitting someone over the head with a vase for a bad joke are two different things. They are incomparable.

Both behaved stupidly. The fact your boyfriend is trying to press charges on someone in your family is ridiculous though. Boyfriends are replaceable, grandparents are not
