The day we met.

Because everyone loves origin stories!

My bf and I met in college. We were friends before we started dating and a few years in I had yet to meet his parents (9 hour drive out of town)

Well one summer as things were getting to the "we have crushes but don't want to make anything official " part of our relationship I decided to visit him for a week, with two other friends (both guys). So I drove the 9 hours down friends in tow.
The plan was to stay the week, which his parents were vacationing during so it wouldn't bother them. They were supposed to be their the first night to say hello, and leave in the morning the next day.

We arrive and say the hello's how are you good to meet you crap. We had arrived fairly late. almost immediately Mil starts "this is (bf's) room we set it up for you. This is where you will be staying" in a strangely demanding tone but i said "thanks!" she continues "this is where you will sleep. " I assume she is just letting me know not to sleep int he living room with the guys. whatever. My own room! Score." Okay awesome thank you". She leaves. I change into sweats and enter said living room to say hello to bf i hadn't seen in a month. hugs all around and we fire up the gaming console.

MIL comes out "what are you doing" super high pitched. Playing video games? BF "oh sorry mom are we being to loud?" MIL "i need to speak with you son" cue them into other room, us all exchanging "what the heck?" glances, and us continuing.BF comes back, goes to her room pouting. A few minutes later FIL comes out and insists its time to quiet down and maybe go to bed. At like 10:30pm. During Summer. For a bunch of 19-21 year olds . Uh.

I find out later MIL had DEMANDED I go to my room because i shouldn't be in the living room with the guys at night. So we turn it off, talk for a little bit, friends go to sleep, i go to said bedroom. Bf (crush at the time) enters to grab his clothing for the night and we get to chit chatting because again major crush. It gets to the point where i'm layign down because i'm tired and he is sitting propped against end of bed. Fully clothed, shoes and all. We fall asleep that way.

I wake up to SCREECHING at like 6:30am. Mil had apparently come into the bedroom on the opposite side of the house and walked multiple steps into the room (the only way to see the bed or anything ) to"check on me" and found us in that damning position of not even touching , BF fully clothed sleeping in the same room. FIL comes in and pulls bf aside saying how irresponsible and bla bla. But MIL? She has demanded I leave IMMEDIATELY, or she is cancelling the vacation to keep and eye on us. Her son is 20. I'm barely awake.

It gets to the point where she says "get out of my house" and BF is insisting she can't kick his friends out or she is kicking all of them, and him, out for the week. She at this point is SCREAMING, "get out of my house ! you can't be here. Get out get out get out " over and over again. This bedroom is close the the front door, and far enough away from living room no one else has woken up. So i grab my stuff and high tail it. Bf tells me please don't leave town i'll fix this and give you a call. i'm so sorry. All while MIL SCREAMING at him for talking to me.

I leave, and realize i have never been in this city before and have no idea where to go. I'm alone in a new city with zero directions, low on gas, without a smart phone and about 100 dollars to my name because college.

It took 8 hours. 8 hours of negotiations before they finally convinced her she couldn't kick me out and to leave on her damn vacation.

And that is my "meet the parents" story. TL;DR Staying at mil house on first meeting. She kicks me out because her son fell asleep fully clothes in the same room as me.
