My boyfriend’s mom took one look at me and decided I wasn’t good enough for her son.
I wasn’t rich or glamorous, and definitely not what she pictured.
But I don’t back from a challenge. So instead of fighting her, I made her an offer… one she’d be a fool to refuse.
When my boyfriend’s mom looked at me like I was something the cat dragged in through mud, dunked in sewage, and flung straight onto her designer rug… I had two choices: tuck my tail and scurry off, or plant my feet and make sure she knows I wasn’t going anywhere.
I chose option two…
“It’s so nice to finally meet you,” Linda said during our first meeting, her eyes sweeping me from head to toe. “Ryan’s told us… some things about you.”
The pause before “some things” hung between us like an accusation.
It wasn’t like I did anything wrong.
I was friendly. I brought her favorite lemon squares that Ryan suggested. I complimented her immaculate home with its carefully arranged family photos… none of which would ever include me if she had “her” way.
“These photos are beautiful.
Your family has such wonderful memories,” I said.
“Yes, we’re very particular about who becomes part of them,” she replied with a smile that never reached her eyes.
No matter how hard I tried, I could feel her sizing me up every time we were in the same room. Like I was a sale item she couldn’t believe her son had picked up.
To be fair, Ryan is her pride and joy. He’s self-made, successful, owns his own place, and drives a posh car.
In her mind, he’s basically the grand prize on a game show.
