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.

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

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?

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.

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

[nola_willow]

Has he even appeared in your insta story?

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

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:

[nola_quicksilver]

Look, I have a very serious Brand there!

Re: Oliver

[nola_quicksilver]

Have you seen your family since this happened?

Re: Oliver

[nola_cyclops]

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

[nola_willow]

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

Re: Oliver

[nola_jeangrey]

No, and we're not really close.

Re: Oliver

[nola_quicksilver]

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

Re: Oliver

[nola_quicksilver]

Sorry about that.

[nola_quicksilver]

Is Insta Sam the next big meme? Is he what Gen Z is looking for?

Re: Oliver

[nola_cyclops]

I used to go have exactly one beer alone after work every Friday night. You're perfect and I am going to treasure this picture. Your face!

Re: Oliver

[nola_jeangrey]

It's okay! I'm big on making my own family.

[nola_willow]

Let's get him on tiktok immediately.

Re: Oliver

[nola_quicksilver]

SAM, you're breaking my heart! I should have asked you out for drinks! And it's not as good as your Top Gun Halloween pic.

Re: Oliver

[nola_quicksilver]

So I see! Jeans are always like that, I guess.

Re: Oliver

[nola_cyclops]

You still can do that! I didn't realize that was a sad story until... just now. Shh, I won't hear a bad word about this photo.

[nola_quicksilver]

This hurts my brain.
