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

Should've asked your mum ," why did you buy the pig if you could get the sausage for free?" Congratulations on the engagement though ^~^

#7, it was a barnyard reference. The dad was horsing around by being a pig. Hopefully, the OP ducked the question and won't chicken out on the proposal -- that'd be bull! See how that works? Now, you give it a try. . .

Hopefully your fiance doesn't try to "mooove" on OP!

Your boyfriend is doing the right thing your dads response was uncalled for...

some people just like doing these things the old fashioned way, I wouldn't call it 'the right thing'

Hopefully he isn't literally milking you like the guy in the previous FML.

Since you said your fiancé asked for your dad's permission, it sounds like he already popped the question. I'm not particularly a traditionalist, but doesn't it kinda defeat the purpose to propose first? I'd have to say it was only fair for your dad to have a little fun in that situation :)

I assume she wrote fiance because he ended up proposing anyway. Was her boyfriend at the time, now fiance.
