This Reddit Girlfriend Was a Little Too Brave When Meeting Her Boyfriend’s Parents — & You’ll Feel So Bad for This Mom

It’s normal to feel nervous when meeting your significant other’s parents — or when meeting your child’s significant other. It can be awkward, sure, and maybe a little intimidating. You want to make a good impression, you hope they like you, you hope you like them. But one girlfriend on Reddit just won the award for worst meet-the-parents line, ever, and just reading it will make you cringe.

In the “Am I The A—hole?” subreddit, a 56-year-old mom wrote about how she kicked her 24-year-old son and his girlfriend out of her house after a disastrous first meeting. But read on to find out why it was justified — because seriously, our jaws are still on the floor after reading what this young woman said to her boyfriend’s parents.

First, a little backstory: the son and his girlfriend have been dating for about a year, and “he’s been crazy about her.” This is the first time the parents are meeting her, but they’ve heard all about her. “She just got her degree, was enjoying her job, family-oriented, etc., I’m honestly just glad he’s happy with her,” the mom wrote. “My husband and I don’t think he’s ever been this into someone before, so I feel pretty bad about what I did.”

So, let’s set the scene. It’s dinner time. The parents are excited to meet this person who their son “has been gushing about” and saying “how perfect she is, that she’s ‘the one.’” It’s a pretty big deal!

Then they ring the bell, and well, it all goes downhill from there.

“We open the door. She looks exactly like her pictures, which is a great start. My son is grinning ear to ear – another great start. We invite them in. She accepts my hug and a firm handshake from my husband, and then she opens her mouth,” the mom wrote.

The first words she spoke? “I’m the one your son puts his penis in.”

Um … ma’am? In what universe is that the first thing you feel like telling your boyfriend’s mom? How incredibly uncomfortable for everyone involved. And what is the mom supposed to say in response? “Oh cool, I’m the one whose vagina he squeezed through?” The whole thing is just so unnecessarily cringey.

“To be frank, I was appalled,” the mom continued. Frankly, we would be too — and we aren’t even pearl-clutchers. “I expected my husband to laugh (both he and my son are jokesters, and as annoying as it can be I love it) but THIS was just too much for me. Maybe I’m reserved, but of all things she could have shared about my son she told us THAT.”

The mom went on, “I felt like he’d sold me the full package, everything he’d always been looking for in a girlfriend. I was too disturbed by the visual it put in my head, and it translated into anger.” So, like any sane person would do, the mom kicked her out. “I told her to get out, and I wanted to say more about how gross it made me feel but I fortunately left it at that. My son didn’t want to go, insisting I give her another chance, but I was too fed up and uncomfortable by this point,” she said.
