I took my boyfriend to meet my mom over Mother's Day weekend and now she likes him better than me. I'm refusing to give her his cell number because I know she's just going to text him my middle school photos or something. Now she's threatening to just FedEx him copies directly. AITA if I just move out and let them be very happy together?


Sam

Thank you for letting me use you to figure out how to fuck in a bunk bed, though. It was a beautiful parting gift.



Dani

I was thinking of our other mothers on Sunday too. In my universe, anyway, we had two, the one who bore us and the one who raised us.



Elspeth

How're you doing? Completely over the asshole? Ready to party?



Katie

How'd the thing at Alex's going? I felt bad for dragging Sam away, but also not.

1. It was such a turnaround! I take my new position as "favorite son" very seriously.
2. On a practical level, I should have her contact information in case of emergencies.
3. Emergencies may include those photos of you scowling as you tell her to get out of your room.
4. I love getting mail.
5. Don't you dare move out.
6. You're welcome, and thank you for giving me adolescent experiences.

1. She can be bought with pina coladas, so don't get too attached to the title.
2. She's not already friended you on FB, Insta, and Snapchat yet?
3. I was doing important stuff, okay!
4. I'll mail you an eviction notice.
5. That way I don't have to move out.
6. I love you very much.

1. I can buy pina coladas. (Sidenote: have never tried a pina colada).
2. I barely even know what snapchat is, but yes to facebook.
3. You're so cute.
4. I'm not going anywhere.
5. You're stuck with me.
6. I love you too.

1. SAMUEL. What do you even drink? It's very serious red wine, isn't it?
2. Oh God. Hope you like Bitmojis!
3. Yeah, I really am.

The rest earns you a gift:

It's beer, but NOTHING else matters except this photo. LOOK HOW CUTE YOU ARE.

Re: Oliver

[nola_quicksilver]

Beer? How down to earth of you! And I'm a little dork. The teacher combed my hair for me.

[nola_willow]

Awwwwwww embarrassing over-approval. The best kind of mom reaction.

[nola_quicksilver]

She posted a photo of him to her Insta story, it was so gross.

[nola_willow]

Has he even appeared in your insta story?

[nola_quicksilver]

Look, I have a very serious Brand there!

[nola_willow]

I'm going to get him in my story. It's like a collector's item.

It's too bad you weren't there, it was a really nice time. Caleb's great, and his kid is the greatest. Was it weird seeing your mom know that you know what you know? Everything went really well, huh?

Re: Oliver

[nola_quicksilver]

Yeah, kind of weird. It feels like I have two moms now. Or three, really. (Wanda and I were adopted.) And yeah, she approves of Sam very, very much.

Re: Oliver

[nola_jeangrey]

That is weird. But I get the feeling. And I can see why she would. He's polite and respectful and loves you.

Re: Oliver

[nola_quicksilver]

Have you seen your family since this happened?

Re: Oliver

[nola_jeangrey]

No, and we're not really close.

We only had one set of parents where I'm from. They were good people. After they died, it was just us.

Re: Oliver

[nola_quicksilver]

What were they like?

Re: Oliver

[nola_wanda]

Kind. Hard-working. Our mother helped us with our homework and our father was a good cook. I wish I had known them when I was older and could get to know them as people instead of just as parents.

Re: Oliver

[nola_quicksilver]

I wish I had known them too. It sounds like they loved you a lot.

[nola_northstar]

I just got a boyfriend and I'm considering showing him all of those kinds of photos of myself, so he can appreciate me through the ages.

[nola_quicksilver]

Be careful, because he might reciprocate and then you'll end up with a photo of a child in a Halloween costume as your lockscreen and have people looking as you weird.

[nola_northstar]

Now I’m looking at you weird.

[nola_quicksilver]

He was an ADORABLE kid and it makes me happy to see him.

[nola_northstar]

Hmm. That’s cute.
