Health, Parents and Diets: NParents represent!

NParents represent!

By Familyvisits - 31/08/2021 08:01 - Canada - Cambridge

Today, my parents have been whining about me spending a weekend there, so I did. I have severe IBS and sent them the list of foods I can eat 2 weeks ago when I told them I was coming. They had no food in the house that I could eat without getting sick, and got offended when I didn’t eat or tried to buy my own food. FML

Same thing different taste

I told you so

By Anonymous - 23/03/2024 16:00 - United States

Today, my parents brought home lunch from a shady grocery store deli. They mused about how hard I am to feed because I turned it down; the last time I ate anything from there, it gave me botulism, and it tastes horrible anyway. They both got sick. Now I'm playing nurse to both. No apologies yet. FML

Today, I told my parents I really missed them and wanted to come home for the weekend, as I haven't seen them in months. They told me that was a bad idea and they couldn't fit me into their schedule. I asked what their plans were. They said they didn't have any yet. FML

It's a doggy dog world

Today, I got a call from my mom-in-law saying I have to buy my own food. I took 3 weeks off on unpaid vacation and came out of state to watch my in-laws' house and dog sit while they go out of country. I'm not allowed to touch their food, even the spoiling stuff. My husband doesn't believe me. FML

Today, my parents told me not to make plans for dinner as they were bringing it home. Normally, that would be great but they brought home slop from some buffet that had just opened. Everything was greasy, too salty, or bland. I told them they could have it, and made my own dinner. Now I'm being called, "The Food Network critic." FML

Fight club

By just outdone - 31/12/2015 04:45 - United States - Turtle Lake

Today, I've been staying with my parents while I have time off from school. They got drunk and started an entire family fight because my dad made pizza and my mom is lactose intolerant. She insists my dad did it on purpose because, "he's an asshole and knows I can't eat cheese." FML

Picky eater

By Anonymous - 04/06/2022 22:00

Today, my family are refusing to go out to eat with me anymore. Apparently, me liking my food cooked a certain way infuriates them because it delays our order, and makes the wait staff hate us. FML

Control

By justwantedtounpack - 29/12/2014 04:55 - United States

Today, my parents threw a hissy fit calling me ungrateful and disrespectful for wanting to do laundry and clean at home, instead of going out to their friends' house for dinner. They also disconnected the Internet to punish me when they left. I'm 20 and visiting home on a college break. FML

Give it a goo

By Anonymous - 15/04/2024 09:00 - United States

Today, my parents ate at a new Italian restaurant. They said it was the best they'd ever had and brought me some, insisting I try it. It had so much garlic and sugar in it that I couldn't finish. They're upset because one of our cousins owns the restaurant, and they say I'm not being supportive. We're Irish, not Italian. FML

Ungrateful bunch

By ProduceGood - 01/06/2022 18:01 - Canada - Ottawa

Today, I realized why my stomach is upset: in a house with my two adult parents and one 17 year-old sister, we have somehow gone an entire week without fresh vegetables or fruit. I didn't notice because I was trying to figure out how to handle them forgetting my 30th birthday. FML

Hangry people

By missy - 01/06/2021 08:01

Today, my parents yelled at me for ordering too much fast food. The only reason I’m doing it is because there isn’t any food in the house. Not only that but I’m also trying to gain weight. FML

I'm sorry you have IBS, but that is predictable considering you're descended from two lousy assholes.

I have IBS too and diet + anxiety control are very important to us. I'm sorry they failed to provide any of the two :/

Parents as in they raised you? Did they raise you with the same foods that you can't eat today? If so, of course they're confused.

What a stupid comment... People can get intolerances any time in life. I have IBS and I'm fructan, mannitol and fructose intolerance. I was raised on those foods. They're the reason my IBS was so bad.

Sounds like another hypochondriac to me. Really, 16 to 20 years eating food that always made someone sick. It's a wonder a person like that could even make it to preteen years, much less to survive into adulthood. That's ok, people like yourself aren't alone. Just a weekly trip to the doctor. Grits and Tabasco sauce solve all eating problems.

Stupid comment. My IBS started at around 18 and got bad at around 24. In most countries, people move out at those ages due to college or affordable housing prices. My dad, which I stopped talking to when I was 20, doesn't even know I have IBS or any of the side effects. And my mother (who has same condition) still does not understand what my personal requirements are because my body reacts differently then hers and I am still learning my own diet.
