I won't have a problem at all if she said it behind my back, instead of to my face.

Man, it's going to suck when you and your gf get married and have kids. Try coming up with an answer for.....

"Daddy, why doesn't grandma like you?"

Here is all you need....Parents will always say this, no matter what. Smile to the parents, wave to them, don't do anything sudden (they frighten easily)...Just continue to pork their daughter in the cornhole....and smile.

That implies grandma talking crap about me in front of the kiddies...thats a no-no.
The gf/then wifey would have to teach the mom a lesson.

or I could just answer:

"cause daddy doesn't like grandma, and neither should you."

Wrong answer....always remember these words...."Ask your mother."

You should have responded with, "I bet you wouldn't say that if you knew I was hung like a horse"




yeah, I know, good comeback but hours later.

Any woman who would dis her own daughter that way has some serious insecurities going on, and being guarded around her is only prudent. She is insecure, and she likes lashing out in ways that are wildly inappropriate. Either she will temper herself over time, or it will get worse. You need to protect yourself from this hostile twit, and you also need to build some boundaries between your gf and this toxic woman...

Depends on the family. I kinda know where he's coming from. I have, over the years, had a lot of friends that married people out of their race and religion. They all said that the weddings was the worse thing to deal with. Lots of family conflicts. The one set that I know that eloped were happy as pigs in shit.

Personally, I wouldn't. But like I said before I consider myself lucky that my family and my wife's were accepting.

There wasn't much more to that post you quoted. Oh well. Maybe I just suck at giving advice.

I'd laugh and say, "clearly my reputation has preceded me. But all kidding aside, good thing its your daughter's life and her choice, not yours."

You don't date the family. Just be civil, and be the adult in the situation; it'll make mom look more and more childish and immature, and you'll look better and better to everyone else.

If this would happan to me I would follow these few easy steps:

1. Stand there and do nothing
2. Look at gf and see whats your reaction: If she defends your stop here if not go to step 3
3. If reaction is not in your favor ( gf dogs you out agrees with the mother ) Kick the mother in the box!
4. Brake up with the gf ( if she think she can do better then you shouldnt be going out )
5. Insult mother while she is hunched over in pain
6. Leave area
7. Get into car and peel out in drive way ( If you when their in her car call cab, take bus, or walk away hastly )
8. Get heavly drunk
9. Next day find a few female friend

But all joking aside I would do nothing and leave. I wouldnt want to be around someone who dont like me.

Remember to turn off TCS or VSA when peeling out. Nothing looks worse than an attempted peel out gone wrong.

Noted! The effect would not be as dramatic if VSA kicks in.

"Yeah, but some obnoxious bitch kept running off her other boyfriends so she's stuck with me. Can I borrow that stick?"

Fuck her and her opinion. When the grandkids don't come to visit and she isn't invited over for the holidays maybe she'll remember the conversation. Seriously - I would have zero problem keeping my children away from someone like that and making it known why. Of course, that presumes that you'd inform your future wife first and she might actually do something. The mom insulted both of you - and nothing happened. Unacceptable. Whether you like it or not, you're going to be fighting the mom for the rest of your life - she isn't going to go away, she isn't going to change her mind, she isn't going to apologize. Wifey needs to step up IMO.
