Today, while trying to prove a point to my mom, I learned that birdseed tastes better than her cooking. FML

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my mom cooked her dog some potatoes, carrots, beef, rice and peas. She cooks better food for her dog than she will for our family. FML
Today, I caught my mom eating cat biscuits. We don't have a cat. FML
Today, my mom tried a new recipe for dinner. She proudly served what she called "gourmet vegetable stew." One bite later, I had to fight every urge to not gag. She asked me how it tasted, and with a straight face, I said, "Delicious!" She then asked for my honest opinion, so I told her it was, um, "an acquired taste." She hasn’t spoken to me since. FML
Today, on the kitchen counter, there was a plate that had snacks on it. I decided to take a bite. I spat it out. Later on, my mother told me it was dog food. FML
Today, my mum gave me half-raw chicken for dinner. After she refused to cook it again, I threw it away saying that I didn't want to get salmonella. She told to be more grateful, and that I was an idiot for trying to use salmonella as an excuse because, "It's chicken, not salmon." FML
Today, my mother-in-law came over for dinner. She decided to salt the food I was preparing without even tasting it first, then complained at dinner that I'd used too much salt. She then lectured me on the proper seasoning of food for the rest of the evening. FML
Today, my mom tried to ground me. In the apartment that I own. Because I didn't eat enough of the dinner that I'd made. FML
Today, I tried to make a grilled cheese sandwich for myself, but as soon as I started, my mom rushed into the kitchen and criticized me for making it "wrong". She then made the sandwich for me. It tasted significantly worse than when I make them. FML
Today, I got into a heated argument with my mom, because apparently I'm an idiot for not sharing her belief that chickens are mammals. She has a university degree in this stuff. FML
Today, I found out my mom intentionally puts extra butter and oil in the food she cooks for me because she wants me to be fatter than her. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

If you're old enough to post on here, you're old enough to cook for yourself.

I guess this is the part where you confess to your mom that you don't like it then apologize. If you don't like it I think theres this thing called using your brain to cook something for yourself.

You should be glad that she cooks for you at all. Most people in the world don't even have food, let alone someone to cook for them. Thats a very rude thing to say to your mom too. :/ My advice; (if you want it...) For Christmas, her birthday, Easter, or any other gift giving holiday, buy her cooking lessons for intermediate cooks. But bring it to her in a way that says "we want you to expand your skill!" not in a "your so bad you really should just take some lessons...". Having it be intermediate will show that you don't think that she is a beginner who needs help. Another thing to do that may work better is to buy her a cook book. Challenge her to work on one every day. What would also help is if you helped your mom. It would probably make the food taste better, and it would be a bonding experience! You should learn to cook! Then, maybe give your mom a break from cooking for one week per month or something like that. Hope this helps!

The great white wall o' text strikes again!

TLDR version: appreciate your mom

I actually read that wall of text and rolled my eyes most of the way through it. You're 15 and giving advice to another petty teenager on how to improve their mother's skills? How about this instead? If OP is old enough to post on here, they're old enough to cook for themselves.

Okay. Here we go. First of all, MOST people in the world DO have food because MOST people in the world don't live in third world countries. Get your facts straight before you claim someone is being "rude". And for all you know, the food her mother makes could be downright inedible. So stop assuming you know why she said something or anything behind this story. Second, nobody wants your advice. Third, you're fifteen. Stop acting like you know it all, because hate to break it to ya honey, but you don't. I doubt you treat your mother much better, because HELL, you're a TEENAGER. Yeah I know bring on the "you're a teenager too" responses but guess what? I'm not giving people advice about how to treat their parents. So seriously, get off your high horse. TLDR; shut the **** up, nobody cares what you have to say.

Giving her a cookbook is the worst thing to do.

I thought it sound like great advice, especially coming from a 15 year old kid. I'm impressed. It's refreshing to see some intelligence in the younger generation. Haters gonna hate.

63 - thanks! While i was typing, I think i went off into a daze and thought i was on Yahoo! Answers or something. That is how i was typing, anyway. Sorry if people don't like long comments. But if it's too long of a read for you, why read it?

Bad move. Now, your going to have to compete with all the other chickens in the barnyard pecking for a little scratch & your probably not equipped with the right pecker!
