Today, after years of providing daily various home-made colourful meals for three kids and a husband, I was asked to "cook something cool, like instant hamburgers, not that lame healthy shit". FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, as I was pressed for time, I opened some canned food for dinner. When my children were served, they said, "Mmm, this is best meal you've ever cooked for us!" I cook healthy, balanced meals every day. FML
Today, tired of my husband complaining that my food was basic and bland, I went out of my way to learn to cook using new recipes and fresh ingredients. He complained that I took too long to make dinner, and that the food is "fancied up shit." He can cook his own meals now. FML
Today, my kids told me that for the FIRST time, my cooking was delicious. I made Kraft dinner that night. FML
Today, I decided to cook dinner for my wife and kid. After a long day of preperation and cooking I asked them what they thought of it. My 12 year old son then says, "I would say it tastes like shit but not even shit tastes this bad!" My wife then laughed and gave him a high-five. FML
Today, due to my wife saying I never cook and that we always order pizza, I spent a good hour preparing dinner. While serving it to my kids, they started complaining. My wife told them to shut up. When she took a bite, she looked up at me, smiled, and said, "Do you, you know, want to just order pizza?" FML
Today, I was making dinner for my family while my wife was at work. She walked in the door with McDonald's, even though she knew I was cooking. Then our kids saw and started screaming that they wanted McDonald's too and that it was unfair. I've told her not to pull this shit and she won't listen. FML
Today, I made a tasty, healthy plant-based lunch for my family. They ate a few bites, spat it out, and then went to McDonald's "to eat real food, you know, food with meat in it." 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
Today, we have nearly no food in the house. My husband went shopping with the kids and returned with a sack of tomatoes. Time to make lunch. FML
Today, my mother-in-law gifted us with a new microwave. I told her it was too much and we didn't really need it. Her response, "I just want my grandkids to have food that tastes good for once." I'm a chef. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

They should be thankful to you and not condescending!

You gotta have fun once in awhile.

It's not that they hate your food, but they might be in contact with junk food at their friends houses, and might think that's cool. Take it, as a free day for you. Let them have pizza, or hamburgers once a week, or once every 15 days. They'll be happy, and you won't have to cook that day.

My parents used to cook healthy and I never appreciated it, but now that I am older I know what good food is, know how to stay healthy, and that food brings back good memories! You may not get kudos now but Know you are setting up your family for success!

Eh, if they don't like it, they can starve and rot. You're doing the right thing.

Well to their credit, healthy shit is pretty lame...

Get them microwave meals and make gourmet meals only for yourself for a while until they apologize.

I agree that they shouldn't be so rude to her, but I can see why they would want something unhealthy for a change. I don't know exactly what OP cooks, but if it doesn't involve greasy food they're eventually going to crave some KFC or something

Take a cue from mrs foreman and don't cool anything for a week... Their comment may not be a personal one though.
