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!!"

I agree with #8 personally...you can't expect to be invited in just because you made them food...it'll earn you more brownie points if you just walk away and not start a conflict.

you're supposed to be nice for the sake of being nice, not to get something in return. bitch. you made it for them anyway, i don't know why you immediately set your hopes on them inviting you in to have something made for them.

I wasn't expecting an invitation, I did it because I was trying to be nice. I just thought that an invitation might be a nice gesture to compliment the gesture I gave. My boyfriend wasn't there, he's not the jerk.

yeah i don't blame you at all OP/#92. do they do that kind of stuff a lot? my bfs parents are notorious for saying little things that can be "misunderstood" but are clear jabs at me, and they simply trash me behind my back. If it's a one time occurrence i wouldn't worry all that much but if it's just the norm then stop making nice gestures, it's not worth it.

i dont get this, if u make them dinner, isnt it a given that you would eat dinner with them? And what did they say to you? "Thanks for the dinner, now leave." there is really no way of them telling you that you can't have the dinner that you just prepared for them. Maybe they expected you to stay, and thought you were extremely strange when you just left? I don't see how this is possible.

OP/#92.... Is it necessary for them to compliment the nice gesture you made, cause if that was the only reason (which even with your explanation as #92) it seems like you were looking for them to inflate your ego rather than just trying to do a kind thing for your boyfriend's family sooooo I'm still going to have to say YDI because in saying "I just thought that an invitation might be a nice gesture to compliment the gesture I gave" you are saying that you were expecting an invitation to eat with them.

Umm.... Yeah I would never do anything for them again. That is crazy rude. Come on people even if you don't like your son's GF that is not your choice. Get over it and be nice!
