Anyone got any good stories to tell about meeting their partners parents? Bad first impressions? Embarrassing moments?


I got one, i was dating this posh bird, and here i was, in this immaculate house, and we were having dinner, and her father did the routine of asking me simple questions like "how old are u?" "what are u studying?" "u have a job?" etc....then, infront of everyone, (including brothers and sisters), he said

"u know my daughter's a virgin dont u?" Iam like "gulp.....errr no"., my girlfriends face went bright red, and her little bro's and sisters were giggling like mad. He then said something like "u dare do anything wrong with her, they'll be hell to pay, u got that son". Iam like "WTF?", i thought this stuff only happened in movies.

She never told me she was a virgin neither, poor thing. Her dad was a bombastic cunt to be honest, and of course, i was never good enough. With endless shit like "why dont u have a car yet?". "Stacking shelves must be really taxing?"

He was a nightmare.

Anyway, any stories?

Yeah, but have u been involved with people who's parents u hated?


Why is it dads are often assholes when it comes to protecting "daddies little angel?"

One dad was a right lad (i.e a macho prick who drank alot- like my dad use to be) and he'd often say random shit like "u ain't man enough to date my daughter". He was really mean.

This is actually when my parents met her parents for the first time. We all met for dinner one evening, and the topic turned toward ginseng. My future mother-in-law started talking about what it was and what it was good for, and she said "...and it's also supposed to be an aphrodisiac, whatever that is." She honestly didn't know! I looked over at my dad and we were both trying hard not to crack up laughing.

In one of the first times I met Rachel's family, Rachel, her father, brother, and I were having a conversation about houses and them possibly moving to a condo at some point in their lives. Wade, her brother, yells out to his mother "Mom, you should get a condo!" She comes into the room and says "Condom? What would I want with one of them???" Man, was she embarrassed.

For me its the most scary and nerve wracking strssful things....I am always scared I won't live up to their standards....which to this day...I have not, except for one and he cheated on my anyway. There's a fuckin mystery...

man, that condo/condom thing is priceless in those sorta situations.

My first serious relationship, my boyfriend didn't get along with his parents. So much so they moved to New Mexico and he stayed here in Mpls to finish high school. Our first year of college we went to visit them for Xmas (my first time meeting them) and within a day or so he was fighting with them something awful. His mother pulled me aside for a talk and told me how much they liked me, would like to see me in the family, but was wondering what the heck I was doing with her son. It was pretty bad. They sent us home early.

That story still surfaces from time to time even 15 years after it happened.

nope. sorry i dont have any bad mother-in-law stories. kids grandmother is like a mother to me eventhough we don't agree on everything.

TMPletz said:

Thanks but I have come to expect it...I am sure it will happen sometime while I am in the realationship I am in now....It always seems to happen when I least expect....I am just leary of guys. Such is life I guess.

I did it with my first girlfriend. It was nerve racking. Have never done it since because i don't need the headache and because it gives the impression that it's going to be a long term relationship. I would not go to their family get togethers and they were not invited to mine.

I hate meeting the folks, and, i have to admit, i havn't been in a proper relationship since last summer But at least no parents to meet though

After knowing me for about 3 weeks in total, my very new boyfriend asked me to go camping with him. We're about 4 hours into our journey when he mentions we'll be sharing the campsite with his parents and their friends. I'm like thanks for telling me! And we get there, and they are like "who is she?" he also neglected to tell them he was bringing a guest to crash on their campsite.
None of them spoke much english the whole time, so during meals I kind of just sat there smiling politely. His mum barely said 2 words to me!
To make things more uncomfortable, our tent was right next to their caravan, and our nocturnal activities must have been audible to them - I was so paranoid of it!
Turns out, he had brought home so many girls his mum did not bother getting to know them since she got upset when he broke up with the ones she liked!
Anyway we got married and his parents just love me

What's not to love?

TMPletz said:

well, back then I was so shy I'm sure I gave the impression of being snobby, and I really did NOT like camping - only went so I could be with HIM! and I didn't eat asado which was served every night!


so I was positive they would hate me!

Proper response;
"Sir, I consider your daughter like that girl, Virginia. Y'know the one. Who every calls Virgin for short...but not for long."

never been a problem for me. parents dig me. i'm always more worried about how my partner will react to my parents.

Are your husband's parents Portuguese?

If so, you should have written "Frango Assado" instead of "asado"!

No son, they're Argentinian, so it's Asado

Say sorry to the lady
