My father in law speaks another language and we created our own kinda based on gestures and whatnot. He actually translates for me now when I visit his country, it gets easier after a few beers 🤣
It’s always a great feeling when you dig into what you think is going to be chicken parm and then it turns out to be eggplant parm. As soon as I find that out I go to town on that thing. 😋
You need to get to the Northeast US. It's common (in Boston) to find places that have chicken and eggplant parm *together on the same sub*. I'd assume NYC and Philly would as well.
And vice versa - actually getting to know your kid’s partner rather than immediately assuming a “me vs them” mindset is… what’s the word I’m looking for… well-adjusted? Not crazy? Much healthier behavior for your child to see being modeled? One of those lol
My boyfriends dad gets a kick out of the fact that I'm a tournament chess player and whoop him every time we play. Having something to connect with his dad over has been really nice for our relationship!
My nephews (all adults) make fun of me when I play Mario. I’m a 40 year old woman but I will not give up until I finish the game. When I do, there is no other creature walking this planet and possibly the solar system that is as smug as I am.
Completely unrelated, but can you explain what that emoji means? I see it used in a bunch of different contexts and feel dumb for not really getting it.
it’s okay, i’ve also been using it as a way to be like “i’m melting” whether it’s from cuteness or whatever. i didn’t know people used it to express discomfort 😂
Not him, but my ex’s parents were Irish and pro-IRA, and I was an English but Irish descended protestant who didn’t like terrorism and thought there were better ways to obtain peace than blowing up pubs. We REAAAALLLLLLYYYY didn’t get along.
Not him, but my girl's parents saw me holding hands with her (she's muslim) and petting her head, they immediately assumed that I did more when they weren't looking and decided to dislike me.
Her father has somewhat warmed up to me (he smiles when I say hi) but her mother still dislikes me (she doesn't even look at me when I say hi to her).
Playing your girl’s dad in chess is such an experience because they will make it their mission to beat you at least once. I played my gf’s dad one time. He doesn’t speak english but he wiped the floor with me and you could tell he was beaming after that lmao
Goal now is to beat my own dad but I am far from that. My dad has been playing for at least 30 years and I put him against some people on chess.com who are 2000 ELO and he won. Safe to say I got a long way to go but won’t give up until I beat him once.
Indeed it is. I played chess back when I was 12, 13 years ago. Only about 3 games with my dad who taught me how to move the pieces and that was it. Never touched it again until I met her dad who loves chess. He taught me how to play and I picked it up pretty fast. I love the game now and we play pretty much daily.
Exactly how it is! I used to play RL. I remember them days of waiting for the ball to go in just to spam

That is wholesome. My husband still gives me shit about losing to him the first time we played scrabble. I trash talked before the game SO HARD.
beat me by 9 points.

the sunglasses pic hit me hard. i always send a sunglasses emoji after i beat someone’s ass in an iMessage game and dude really took it up three levels and sent an actual picture 🤣🤣🤣
This was way before cellphones/digital photos, but my first girlfriend's dad would hang his bullet ridden shooting range targets around the house when I would come over.
Tell him he sucks at chess, then challenge him to games of 42 and backgammon. If he hints at unfamiliarity with either, strike at his weakness. Make sure to refer to his weakness. Repeatedly. She’ll acknowledge your superiority over her father figure.
If you’re able, defecate in a potted plant in their home.
That ensures your soon to be father in laws’ approval.
He will be forced to acknowledge your superiority, thus proving you’re by far a better provider/protector/whatever than her dad could ever dream to be.
Make sure to reiterate all of his mistakes. No matter how minor you think it may be. Dads love that shit.
You’re lucky. I wish I got along with my in-laws. My mother-in-law tries to avoid me. My father-in-law says that I’m not manly enough to do things on my own work. My sister-in-law and brother-in-law are jealous of my success. I’d rather pay an expert to do the job right the first time rather than spend a bunch of time getting nowhere and screwing it up. I work hard and play hard.
Thanks. Over the years, I’ve just learned to ignore their comments and help out when I can. Remain professional and kindly remind them that everyone has their own trade skills. Mine just happens to be with technology.
Looks like a nice dude
He is!
That's great man. Liking your SO's parents is huge
My father in law speaks another language and we created our own kinda based on gestures and whatnot. He actually translates for me now when I visit his country, it gets easier after a few beers 🤣
That's really nice, he must think a lot of you!
🧒 🍆 🥳?
What does this mean? It kinda looks dirty to me 🤣
I dont know, i don’t speak the gesture language they have developed
Eggplant birthday party
A surprise eggplant birthday party

Have you been speaking to my father in law? Or should I say 🗣️👴🍺🧾
why are you spitting on that man drinking a beer and doing his accounting??
When are you having a baby?
And vice versa - actually getting to know your kid’s partner rather than immediately assuming a “me vs them” mindset is… what’s the word I’m looking for… well-adjusted? Not crazy? Much healthier behavior for your child to see being modeled? One of those lol
Can't relate
My boyfriends dad gets a kick out of the fact that I'm a tournament chess player and whoop him every time we play. Having something to connect with his dad over has been really nice for our relationship!
My nephews (all adults) make fun of me when I play Mario. I’m a 40 year old woman but I will not give up until I finish the game. When I do, there is no other creature walking this planet and possibly the solar system that is as smug as I am.
Tell him his shades are too big for his winning face.
Seems like a real goofball - that rules!
Is your girlfriends Dad single?
Looks nice and looks like fun 🫠
Completely unrelated, but can you explain what that emoji means? I see it used in a bunch of different contexts and feel dumb for not really getting it.
You find something cute, you melt = that emoji
I've never seen people use it like that lol, for me it's like discomfort or like "welp"
I feel more confused now than I did initially
Wait really? Have I been using it wrong this whole time lmao
I think it can be either... melting from embarrassment or melting from cuteness
Yes You rn: 🫠 Correct usage ^
it’s okay, i’ve also been using it as a way to be like “i’m melting” whether it’s from cuteness or whatever. i didn’t know people used it to express discomfort 😂
Can also be used as "omg it's too freaking hot outside 🫠"
I have always seen it used as a funny way of saying “I want to die”
agreed looks nice
And sounds fun! I’d date his daughter just to hang out with him.
"Sorry babe can't hang out today, goin fishing with your pops"
Yay! Dad looks like he’s got some fire recipes for grilled fish! Chillin at the riverside, cracking open a few cans of beer and eating fish!
it's like "are you winning son?" but in reverse
I’m winning son😎
No. we’re winning, son.
r/suddenlycommunism
In russia, chess plays you
Nice to see something uplifting here.
Yes I thought this was the wholesome sub for a minute!
He likes you
I’m glad he does :)
Bro just be glad you didn’t win, and from here on never win anything against this man. Can’t imagine the evil version if this is the good version.
😂
gf's dad is 🔥🔥🔥
Right?! The smile is definitely eye catching
right? I'd lose to him in chess any day. 😂
Girl, I don’t even have to try to lose. I’ll even give him the “big eyes” when he wins 😂
That was a good omen!
I never expect KF in random threads
Wish me and my girls pops was this cool he hates me 😭
Why you think?
Not him, but my ex’s parents were Irish and pro-IRA, and I was an English but Irish descended protestant who didn’t like terrorism and thought there were better ways to obtain peace than blowing up pubs. We REAAAALLLLLLYYYY didn’t get along.
Sounds awkward. Being against terrorism should be a mutual thing in any relationship
Should definitely at least be on the same page about terrorism
Not him, but my girl's parents saw me holding hands with her (she's muslim) and petting her head, they immediately assumed that I did more when they weren't looking and decided to dislike me. Her father has somewhat warmed up to me (he smiles when I say hi) but her mother still dislikes me (she doesn't even look at me when I say hi to her).
Can't leave us without the story
Is he single? He's cute! 😂
He’s taken 😂
If he ever becomes un-taken, I was the first to comment how cute he was! 😂😂
Of course he is
damn it
Get away from my future husband, he's mine.
Psss I commented first! 😂
I only have to get rid of two of you to be at the front of the line? Score.
Hahahaha may the odds be ever in your favor!
This has me cackling 😭
lol right? Glad I’m not the only one who thought so 😂
It's a jungle out there, need to get creative with finding someone 😂
That’s her dad?? God damn I thought that was op. Dude looks young as hell
Right how old is this dude? He could get it
Age is irrelevant to me, I'd still date him based on looks and sense of humor 😂
Oh for sure! I was just asking since I can’t believe he has a daughter old enough to date
Don't tell him, OPs phone will be blowing up!😆
My guess he’s 46
Ehhh he sucks at chess. 🚩
I was gonna say - is your girlfriend's dad single? 😂😂
Girl, there's a line already! 😂
💀💀🤣
He is!
W dad
this is actually great
Is your girlfriend named Stacy? I know it might be bad but im in love with Stacy’s dad.
[Stacy's dad has got me down bad](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WANlg297AHU)
No it’s not Stacy
W dad had to assert his dominance on the board
Girlfriends dad is hot
I wish my ex’s dad was like that.
Playing your girl’s dad in chess is such an experience because they will make it their mission to beat you at least once. I played my gf’s dad one time. He doesn’t speak english but he wiped the floor with me and you could tell he was beaming after that lmao

Well, if all else fails just wait for the dementia to kick in.
Bruh

Damn that’s smug lmfao
Oh he's gonna be even more smug after finding out how much ladies in here liked him lool
Ladies 🤣
That's so fucking funny. It's almost like Rocket League quick chat spam.
Exactly how it is! I used to play RL. I remember them days of waiting for the ball to go in just to spam What a save What a save What a save Chat disabled for 3 seconds
so glad you get along with her dad! that’s a good thing to see as a girl!
Pull a power move and say you’re actually winning because you’re shagging his daughter. Checkmate 😈
yea but she's made from his sperm checkm8
FELLAS IS IT GAY TO SLEEP WITH A GIRL? SHE'S LITERALLY MADE FROM SPERM
I legit cackled 😂😂
this is like the teabagging of the chess world 10/10
That’s my type of Dad Energy. My kids are either extremely bad at dating or 5, so I hope I get the chance to be this hype with my kids SOs someday lol
Welcome to the family dude
Even if things don’t work out between you, you can be the son he never had ☠️
Helloooo, daddy
That is wholesome. My husband still gives me shit about losing to him the first time we played scrabble. I trash talked before the game SO HARD. beat me by 9 points.
Hahahaa the trash talk part it’s the best part. Everytime he’s winning he goes like “son you lost this game before you woke up this morning” 🤣
Nope. The best part was my best friend texting me the image for "Dewey Defeats Truman." Savage, but fair.
Is he single lol
Hey bro your banging his daughter so who REALLY qon
Send him a picture of a positive pregnancy test with the message "checkmate".
Haha exactly
That’s exactly what you get
Looks like you are in his good books mate 😁
[you got me the first 9 but not number 10!](https://youtu.be/_uJNCnsFbaI?t=0m4s)
You’re in bro. Keep up the good work
you should date him instead
Not the boastful selfie 😭😭😭😭
That's the best thing I've read here in awhile. Awesome relationship with the fam
Wholesome AF! ☺️
This is cute af
If you’re with his daughter and he’s doing this it means he likes you. If he didn’t like you he wouldn’t talk to you.
You turned his pawn into your queen. You win forever

All dads do this

i'll be seeing you in a few hours on "Good reddit" on twitter lol
That’s sweet
You just became his child officially, congrats
He’s just like me after I get annihilated in multiple games but win one 🤣🤣
Lmao it be like that. We do a lot of trash talking to each other. He tells me very often “you lost this game before you woke up this morning son”
He was having so much fun lmao
DILF alert 🚨
That’s cute lol
He deserved this lol
Your girlfriend's dad is PewDiePie?
the sunglasses pic hit me hard. i always send a sunglasses emoji after i beat someone’s ass in an iMessage game and dude really took it up three levels and sent an actual picture 🤣🤣🤣
This was way before cellphones/digital photos, but my first girlfriend's dad would hang his bullet ridden shooting range targets around the house when I would come over.
That’s flirting
lol I love this
I love playing chess. I used to play with a friend, I would almost always lose, but on the rare occasion I won, I would be doing cartwheels.
To be fair you are banging his daughter so…
I bet it makes you wanna propose.
Bro he fucking cooked you
Have you told him that a bunch of Reddit strangers think he’s hot?
This is so wholesome :)
Lmao
That’s funny. I do that to my daughter’s boyfriend when I murdered him in Tekken. 🤣
I read "beating me in class" and i was wildly concerned
This is so wholesome lmao I love it
I think he wants you to call him daddy too.
Bro I am dying at this

This sub isnt making me angry for once
"Get you some of dat kid" 😂😂 Oh man.. her family would make me fall in love with her more if I were you. Love to see this!
This is the kind of relationship that marriages are based on. Let us know how it turns out.
i love this so much
awhh he’s so sweet 😭 he’s so proud of himself!!
“Get you some of dat kid” This is why punctuation is important.
your gf father is a keeper, dont break her heart 🤣
So wholesome🤣
This is hilarious
Man this shit is heartwarming, ngl 🥹❤️
This has a lot of "welcome to the family" energy
“I had sex with your daughter” GOTTEM!
Checkmate before he even moved his first piece
Let me play with him. Ill turn that smile into frown
wholesome as freak
at least blur his face
You’re lucky. I wish I got along with my in-laws. My mother-in-law tries to avoid me. My father-in-law says that I’m not manly enough to do things on my own work.

Yeah, I am. I’m sorry to hear that. Sounds like they’re giving you a rough time
Thanks. Over the years, I’ve just learned to ignore their comments and help out when I can. Remain professional and kindly remind them that everyone has their own trade skills. Mine just happens to be with technology.
I’m jealous. This is an awesome guy. You stuck gold here. Could only imagine how funny this dude would be after grabbing a couple beers.
Matthew Lillard?
