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!!"

Remember, for future reference, those are the people who raised your boyfriend. Run away!

I don't really think this is necessarily a bad thing. People should be giving to others without feeling like they should be given something in return. You did a nice thing for his family, and they thanked you for it. If it were me, I'd be happy just doing something nice for them, without expecting anything more. I've had friends/family make stuff for me all the time, but i'm kind of shy/awkward, so I usually splutter a "thankyou so much!" and set it aside. I won't even eat it until they have left... Just some thoughts :)

I agree with everyone who said that this is a YDI because A) you expected to be invited B) though you did a nice thing I think you did it more for the praise rather than for doing something nice C) you're blaming them did you ever stop to think that they might have assumed you had other plans when you just left? I'm sure there was a conversation between the family and yourself and not just you handing over the food and having the door slammed in your face I'll even bet that you announced your departure (going back to them possibly assuming you had other plans) I can come up with many many reasons that this is a YDI so stop being a baby sit your bf down and talk about it stop whining and get to the bottom of it and IF they are just that way then ok it is an FYL and now you've learned something.... HOWEVER, if it is just a massive misunderstanding then you are a massive moron who totally what was deserved.

First, why did you make them diner? If it was on a whim to impress them, then YDI! It is extremely rude of you to expect them to drop everything they were doing for you. I'm sure they are nice people (if they aren't, you shouldn't be with your boyfriend) and will invite you for diner (in their house) on their own terms, not yours. Second, If they asked you to make diner, why not just eat at your place? - this way you don't need to go through the hassle of transporting it. And, if they did indeed as you for diner, then they're rude.
