Love: Tu peux mieux faire, ma fille

Tu peux mieux faire, ma fille

Today, I was giving my crush a lift home from a mutual friend's house. When he got in the car, my mom asked in French, "Is this the guy you won't stop talking about? You can do so much better!" Of all the things I've told about him to my mom, I forgot to mention he's French as well. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, my crush walked me home. As my mom opens the door, she tells me in Russian how ugly he is, and that I have extremely bad taste. Out of all the languages in the world, he happens to be fluent in Russian. FML

Today, I was hanging with my boyfriend. When his mom came to pick him up, he introduced me. She talked to me politely and I thought we hit it off very well. As I was walking away, I heard her say, "That's your new girlfriend? Honey, you could do so much better." FML

Today, we watched a movie in French class. I went on a French exchange last year, so I wanted to sound all impressive and cultured for my crush who is in the same class. I said that it was my favorite movie and I couldn't wait to watch it with everyone. The movie turned out to be about incest. FML

Today, I went shopping with my Mom. I ran into my crush. A school dance is soon and he WAS just about to ask something but my mom glanced over and yelled "TAMPONS OR PADS, SWEETIE?!" He then changed his question to "Haha, so which?" And before I could say a word, my mother answered for me. FML

Today, my husband won’t stop bragging about the girl with the "model cheekbones" from the airport shuttle, who kept telling her friend in French how hot he was in front of us. Miss Model was unaware that we’re from France, and my husband’s ego might never deflate. FML

Today, I introduced my Spanish friend to a girl I've had a crush on for a long time. Because he only spoke Spanish and she only spoke English, I was the translator. The first thing he said to her was, "You are really pretty." I translated it as "I like other men." Later, they found out. FML

Today, at the breakfast table my mum asked me what I thought about the plumber who came to our place a couple of weeks ago. I told her that I thought he was really cute and how hard I tried to flirt with him, she nodded and told me that he is her new boyfriend and might move in with us soon. FML

Parents always say stupid things. It's not like you can't expect it at least once in your life. Sometimes it can even be out of jealously.

Eh, maybe he didn't pay attention? Hopefully he gets over it. Your mom is mean,though.

So what, the guy thinks your mom is a bitch, doesn't mean you are.

#7/#10: so maybe the mom was being an ass, but the FML poster wasn't. : | I'm bilingual and my parents talk in another language to me all the time, just because IT'S EASIER FOR THEM, as english isn't their first language. If OP is already used to a situation like that, can't really fault them for taking advantage of the obvious uses of knowing another language.

You're not to blame for your mother's rudeness and lack of tact.

Yes awkward situation. Any guy with a brain should love these. If he'd give some sort of answer showing he knows french, didn't seem to bothered about it, and kept his composure and good mood, he would shine in the eyes of both mum and daughter. Awkward situations are gifts from the heavens. Use them well.

If I was the French guy I would have said "It's not polite to talk about people in other languages so they can't understand, especially if they speak that language."
