Today, I spent two hours making dinner for my boyfriend's family. When I brought it over to their house they said "thanks" and didn't bother to invite me to stay to eat it. FML

Today, I spent hours cooking an amazing dinner for my family, who had just gotten home from a trip, so we could spend some time together because I'd started to miss everyone. When they got home, they saw it all laid out and just took plates to their room, without even telling me they were home. FML
Today, I was invited by my boyfriend's parents for dinner at their house. The dinner went well I thought, until I was getting ready to leave. Before I could make it out the front door, I could hear them discussing their disappointment that their son would ever consider someone like me. FML
Today, my whole family made an hour-long drive to a restaurant that's just a few minutes away from my place. I wasn't invited. FML
Today, my boyfriend stood me up. At dinner with his parents. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I spent all day preparing an amazing meal for my extended family, and then 3 hours before dinner his crazy mother forced him home because she felt "excluded". He's spent the past 3 days with her. There's no way for me to keep him and get rid of her. FML
Today, I invited a friend over for dinner and spent hours preparing a fancy meal. When I opened the door, he walked in with his new girlfriend, his mom, his sister, and his dog. I barely had enough food for one, let alone five. I ended up serving my fancy meal on paper plates. FML
Today, I was invited to my boyfriend's house for dinner for the first time. His mom made a fantastic dinner, so I showed my appreciation by eating the lot. Apparently I was overdoing it because when I looked up everyone was staring. His dad muttered, "Slow the hell down." FML
Today, my boyfriend took me home to have dinner with his parents. I couldn’t eat a single bite after watching his mom let her three dogs taste all the food off her hands, while she also licked her own fingers while cooking. Later on, he dumped me for being rude and “too high maintenance." FML
Today, my boyfriend came home and demanded dinner. I started suggesting things, but he threw out that we should just fend for ourselves. I made pasta and offered him some, but he decided to throw a fit and go to bed at 6:30pm without dinner. He then woke up at 9 to complain he was hungry, then slept on the couch. FML
Today, I spent hours cooking dinner for my date. When they arrived, they told me that I'd probably not paid much attention to their dating profile, as it clearly mentioned that they were vegan, and thus couldn't eat any of the food I'd prepared. FML

At least now you know they're not worth expending any effort for.

You should have said "Now that you saw my food I guess I'll be leaving with it, I just wanted to show you how delicious it was!!"

maybe they thought it was just agiven that you'd eat with them, and that they didn't have to ask you to stay?

Yeah, I'm with the people who are saying that they probably expected you to eat it with them and were baffled that you just came over, left it there and took off. On that note, people need to stop being so passive-aggressive. If you want to stay and eat it with them, sit down and start eating, or at the very least, say "mind if I join you?" Don't just leave because you're waiting for an invite and then complain to the internet about how you took off because you weren't able to bring yourself to make a decision in an ambiguous situation. Seriously, stop caring so much about all these dumb social cues and guidelines and goofy ritual dances and be direct with people. And if it turns out they really are jerks about it, at least you'll know for sure instead of guessing because they weren't totally clear.

Did they tell you to leave or did you just leave? If they asked you to leave, then FYL, but otherwise you're an idiot.

#8 is a genius. You must be a gemini! I mean you do something nice for someone and then trash them later. Do you need them to beg you. I bet that they thought you were kinda wierd 1. make them dinner at your place. 2. pack everything up 3. take it to them 4. THEN JUST LEAVE. WHAT! You, my friend are strange. Two faced if you ask me. You should have been a realist and grabed a seat at the table. Now if they said that there was no room for you to sit and eat thats another story. Put your big girl pants on and get over it! I bet I am right on the gemini part. lmao

Well, isn't it implied that, since you made the food and brought it over, you're staying to eat it? Either way, when you mentioned your intention to leave, he or his parents should have had you stay. FYL

Wow dude...that sucks. Sounds like my boyfriend's parents!! Luckily he's nothing like them. Hopefully the same is true for you.

That's what women are suppose to do? Cook meals to men. Now go back to the kitchen and prepare a new meal woman!

kinda agree with #2o there i mean if they had asked for the food and not invited u in well bill them, u werent born to make them food, but if u just dropped by they could of thought it was just a kind gesture or they could have been having a really important conversation tht ppl out side the family couldnt know about

I have cooked at my girlfriends house for their family, both her mother, and father (they're divorced) before, and the best way to make sure you eat with them, is to cook at their house. Besides, shortly after that nice feeling of generosity I displayed to them, they turned into real insensitive people, who felt more hell bent on making me and my family feel bad, that I could care less if they actually liked the food I prepared for them. Trust me, you're better off without the parents, even if the boy/man is worth it.
