A mom decided she wanted nothing to do with her son's new girlfriend after she said something extremely NSFW during their first encounter.
Taking to Reddit's notorious "Am I The A**hole?" thread, the mom in question decided to relay the incident to social media users for them to decide whether she took it too far by kicking her son's girlfriend out of her house.
After stating that her son was finally ready to introduce his partner to both her and her husband, she went on to reveal that she came 'round for dinner, but things turned sour pretty quickly.
"My husband and I don’t think he’s ever been this into someone before, so I feel pretty bad about what I did," she explained.
"Last weekend, he brought her over for dinner. By now we’d been anticipating meeting her with how much our son has been gushing about her. How perfect she is, that she’s 'the one', in his words," she continued. "They ring the doorbell. 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."
Things started off so well, but they quickly took a turn when the girlfriend opened her mouth.
"I’m the one your son puts his penis in," were the first words the girlfriend uttered to her boyfriend's horrified parents.
Maybe it was supposed to be a joke, but it was a risky choice because it was their first meet-up, but beyond that, is it a joke you'd want to make in front of anyone, let alone your boyfriend's parents?
And let's just say the woman was not impressed.
"To be frank, I was appalled," she said. "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."
She then went on to explain how her expectations may have been a little too high but she just couldn't hide the look of disgust from her face.
Both her husband and her son's faces also dropped, despite them being amused at first.
"I was too disturbed by the visual it put in my head, and it translated into anger," she continued. "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. Even my husband, who’s enjoyed his fair share of raunchy jokes, wouldn’t let up."
After the pair had left, the mom felt guilty enough to ring her son and apologize but he didn't respond.
She concluded: "I’m considering giving her another chance, but before I do, was I the [a*****e]?"
Comments poured in under the post, with some agreeing with the mom's behavior while others deemed it an "overreaction."
"I am the biggest jokester around. I love inappropriate jokes. I love making people cringe. But there's a time and place and reading the room," one user wrote. "I would NEVER do that as my first impression with my partner's parents. If into the evening we're all getting along, sure maybe we'll get there and we'll all have a laugh, but not as the first words out of her mouth..."
"NTA," another added. "...She should apologize, but I don't know if she will. Hopefully, years from now, you guys will all laugh about how awkward the start of your relationship was."
"The gf made an inappropriate joke. I don’t know why. Possibly her family makes those kind of jokes so she thought it’d be fine. Maybe your son put her up to it. Maybe they both agreed it’d be funny. It crossed a line for you and that’s fine," wrote a third, before adding: "But kicking her out so quickly was a complete overreaction. Ignoring it and just carrying on like it didn’t happen or even just pointing out the inappropriateness of it would have been fine. But your reaction was too much."
