"Ever had issues with a guy&amp;amp;#8217;s mom? As Mother&amp;amp;#8217;s Day approaches, I polled my guy friends on their experiences with their girlfriends and their moms, and here&amp;amp;#8217;s what they confessed: &amp;amp;#8220;When my girlfriend met my mother, who is African American, she started blabbering about all the other guys she had dated who were mixed race. My mom is a professor, and really cool, and realized what my girlfriend was doing, but couldn&amp;amp;#8217;t help but tell her, &amp;amp;#8216;Well, it seems like you are very experienced, my dear&amp;amp;#8217;.&amp;amp;#8221; &amp;amp;#8212;Terrence, 25, bartender/guitarist &amp;amp;#8220;My ex-girlfriend ran over my mom&amp;amp;#8217;s dog. No joke.&amp;amp;#8221; &amp;amp;#8212;Jonathan, 30, advertising exec &amp;amp;#8220;My parents are Muslim, though not particularly religious--just conservative in the way parents are. I told my then-girlfriend, now-wife this. When she met them for the first time, the very first thing out of her mouth was &amp;amp;#8220;Hi. So nice to meet you. We&amp;amp;#8217;re not sleeping together.&amp;amp;#8221; &amp;amp;#8212;Arjun, 29, insurance &amp;amp;#8220;I had a girlfriend who my mother actively didn&amp;amp;#8217;t like. My mom is a very nice person, and would never say anything to her, but it was clear to me she did not approve. Unfortunately, this girl absolutely LOVED my mom, thought she was the greatest. When we would visit, my girlfriend would not leave my mom&amp;amp;#8217;s side. It was hugely awkward for everyone except my girlfriend, who just didn&amp;amp;#8217;t get it. My mom would literally stand up and say, &amp;amp;#8216;Well I&amp;amp;#8217;m off to the store,&amp;amp;#8217 to which my girlfriend would reply, &amp;amp;#8216;Great, I&amp;amp;#8217;ll come with!&amp;amp;#8217; &amp;amp;#8221; &amp;amp;#8212;Sean, 25, banker &amp;amp;#8220;It&amp;amp;#8217;s far from original, but my college girlfriend thought her parents were out of town for the weekend and her mom walked in on us doing it in the laundry room. Ironically, one of the reasons we were there was to do laundry. It was a big issue.&amp;amp;#8221; &amp;amp;#8212;Jacques, graphic designer, 28 Ever rubbed a guy&amp;#x27;s mom the wrong way?
