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

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
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
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
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
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

I'm with #20 you should have asked what she did and then when she failed to say what she did call her out on taking credit for something she didn't do

Is baking not cooking?

Should've said you did it instead of letting it end up that way.

How does one cook another's 'pie'?

Well if the cake is a lie, why expect anything better of a pie?

See, what you do here is let her have all the credit. Let her bask in the undeserved praise. Then once someone asks her to bake one of her famous pies, you've got her right where you want her. Once she starts asking, that's when she starts paying you back in whatever way you want. IT'S SO SIMPLE!

Actually, you don't. That takes too much time and energy. You take pictures of you making the pies and then show them to whomever says she did it. Or you make an announcement about how the mother lied.

I think my way of waiting for her to come to you takes less energy than arranging a photo shoot during a baking session... If its time and effort you're worried about, you have much to learn about the ways of the lazy. Lol ;)

Just remember you make great pies even if your mother is selfish! By the way you make great pies I heard from word of mouth!!!
