Today, at a family party, my uncles were complimenting my mom on her pies. I cooked them. She took all the credit. FML

Same thing different taste
Today, I bought ingredients for one of my favorite meals and went home to take a nap. When I woke up, my sister had cooked them for everyone else in the house, who ate it all without me. I was told that I shouldn't be angry, but instead proud of my adult sister because, "She cooked!" FML
Today, my stepmom asked me to bake pies for a dinner party she was having. Since I love baking, I said yes. When I went to deliver the pies, I found out they were for a family dinner I wasn't invited to. FML
Magic!
Today, we had a family gathering at my mom's house. I offered to bring dessert, and I was very proud of my homemade cheesecake. As I set it on the table, my uncle decided to do a magic trick with it and make it disappear onto the floor. FML
Today, I felt bad about rarely complimenting my mom about her cooking, so during dinner, I raved about her incredible, creamy, macaroni and cheese. It came from a box. FML
Today, I spent hours baking an apple pie to impress my future mother-in-law. I was especially proud of the fact I'd made the crust and filling myself. When I served it to her, she picked off the crust and, between mouthfuls, bitched that it was nothing like canned pie filling. FML
Speak for yourself
Today, I was at a fancy family dinner. The dish I'd made was served, and as we ate, I told my aunt that I was a total failure as a cook, explaining everything wrong about my dish, in painful detail. Apparently we'd both made the same dish. That one wasn't mine. FML
Slice of Freudian slip
Today, I was talking to my wife about the pie she'd made and she was really leaning on the need to be reassured, so I said, "It was real good Mom." FML
Today, I bought my mother an apple pie. She made a face at it and said that she'd decided to go on a diet. After I'd left the house, she put it in the oven, forgot about it, and burnt it to a crisp. She then called me up to inform me that I'd wasted my money, and to get her "another damn pie." FML
Today, I discovered that the reason my mom hasn't been noticing the extra cleaning I've done lately is because her boyfriend took credit when she asked about it; and was rewarded for it in bed. I helped him get with my mom. FML
Today, I got together a surprise party for my mom's birthday. I invited all her friends and her douchebag boyfriend who I don't get along with. When my mom got home, he took credit and got her friends to back him up with bribing. My mom said I'm selfish and horrible for not trying for her. FML

She can have fun doing all the dishes and cleaning up the mess by herself . That's what I would tell her (:

I baked a cake for my cousin's birthday. It took me about 12 hours of hard work. I tend to be a Facebook *****, so I took pictures of me buying the ingredients with my friend, decorating the cake, wrote down the recipe for some friends, and posted it in an album. I am clearly in most of the pictures. Later, when the cake was being eaten, my family thanked my aunt for bringing the cake. My aunt said, "Oh, it was homemade." My aunt tried to take credit for the cake, while I am standing there fuming. Then, I got on my phone, and in front of 25 family members, walked around showing the album off. By the end everyone was looking at my aunt like she was crazy and me like I was a bitch for putting her on the spot. If you have a huge problem with it, Op, then take pictures of you making the pies, put them in your phone, and show them to anyone who believes what your mother did. You might look crazy, but I hate when my hard work is credited to someone else, especially ungrateful, lying family members.

So, a credit on a pie is more important than a good relationship between your relative? Unless your aunt is an jackass like that all the time, I have to say you are just a very very small person without any generosity. The only person you need to inform of the situation is your cousin, and I am pretty sure he/she knows it when you brought the cake to his/her house and wished him/her happy birthday. If you didn't do that, I really don't know why you were in that party and YDI.

But don't give her the cherry on top, 'cause bitches don't deserve cherries on top.

Who puts fruit on top of pies? It usually goes in the pie.

Maybe you should be more humble about your pies.
AKGirlinSD 20
Why does OP need to be humbled? OP made them, not his/her mom. The mom should have said, "Thank you but my son/daughter made them all and I'm really proud/impressed by him/her."

#4 was making a hidden joke about "humble pie". :P Perhaps you never heard of the expression?
AKGirlinSD 20
I have not, 22. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I grew up in a sheltered life haha (sadly, it's true).

You should of just spoke up and said thank you I made them so they knew it was you and not you're mom.

If you are going to correct someone else, at least capitalize 'I'.

#5, alternatively, she could announce that they've run out of pies and oh-so-sweetly request her mom whip up some more in front of everyone and teach them her culinary skill. Revenge is a dish best served cold.

At least you know that you bake pie very well.

Take the credit back. Or sabotage them.

Next time put laxatives in the pies your mom takes credit for.
