Awkward Family Story: Mommie Dearest
August 4th, 2009
My first time having dinner with my boyfriend’s family, I sat between him and his somehwat tomboyish sister. My boyfriend’s mother immediately struck up small talk, which ended rather abruptly when she said “I’m so glad you are dating [boyfriend's name], I’ve always wanted a daughter.” My boyfriend’s sister didn’t say anything. Awkward.

…ol she got pwned
XD
My grandmother was a housekeeper for a couple of parish priests, and she used to say she had more fun with her two priests she considered sons than her own daughters. She said this once in front of my mom. I told her you DON’T say that to your daughter, and she said “but I did!! [have more fun]” Ugh.
I’m sorry, but that IS funny. Maybe she was commenting on her daughters behavior.
In baseball, when a pitcher throws the ball, it is not a ball or a strike until the umpire calls it one or the other. I would say ‘dear old mom’ was just calling it like she sees it!
………cheesey………..
That *is* awkward. On many levels.
That sounds like a Family Guy moment to me
“And a blonde – what fun!”
Seriously, no Arrested Development fans got here before me?
I love that comment so much.
ditto
Very nasty thing to say.
thank you captain obvious
My mother didn’t say that, but what with two boys and no girls, she certainly wanted a daughter! Oh, the woes we might have averted had we but known ahead of time! Daughter-in-law to be, if it is to be, needs to be clear and assertive about her relationship to MIL to MIL and not put the husband in the middle.
Maybe its because she brought a regulation size casserole dish. With a lid.
Nice reference joke
Run Kirsten run!
Run quickly.
what??????
I think its more awkward that his mom was talking about marriage on the first time meeting her.
NOfreakingDOUBT!
TOTALLY!
OMG! that is totally more awkward than the comment
Good look developing a friendship with that girl. Hope these people will not be your future inlaws.
HHeeeyyyy! Can someone please pass the potatoes?!?
Hahahahaha
Now THERE’s a mother-in-law to look forward to.
That’s not awkward, that’s just rude and disgusting. I hate people like that.
Its like that time Stewie and I were on a huntin trip…..
Buuuuuuurn. That had to have sucked for her real daughter. AWKWARD.
Aww…that’s kind of sad…
Very awkward, indeed.
Kinda sad, but makes for a good story to tell the grand kids later in life! Ha!
By a funny coincidence, I overheard a couple of neighborhood kids playing outside, and the middle sister was all upset that someone had called her a “tomboy”. I started wondering if that word even means anything anymore. Isn’t it a word from a very, very different age, when little girls were expected to wear little sundresses and hav tea parties and, like, never ever get their knees dirty?
i always thought it was cool to be a tomboy… the frilly girly girls irritated the crap out of me as a kid.
Same here!
Sometimes (often???) that’s still expected of them! I think these days it means you’re not drooling over makeup and boys and Coach purses?
Yikes
How sad.
Noooooooooooo. Wow, that’s awkward for sure!
I don’t know what’s better, the awkward photos or your awkward stories?!?!?! WOW!
Ouch. My Gawd.
…as long as she didn’t say “granddaughter”…now, THAT’s awkward!
Try being a 6’2″ male, who’s Grandmother forced to learn to crochet (because as stated in front of the entire family “your the only grand-daughter I have”). Now I can out sew the old biddy lmao.
