Today, I was sick with the flu so my boyfriend announced that he would make me some chicken soup. It was touching until I stumbled to the kitchen and found out that his "chicken soup" was actually leftover KFC bones boiled in water. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I was sick and laid up in bed, and my boyfriend decided to bring me some soup. Just as he reached the bed, he tripped over his own feet and spilled the soup all over me. FML
Today, I made chicken noodle soup for the girl I've been seeing to help her get over her cold. From scratch. Everything fresh save for the canned chicken stock. It took an hour in preparation and half an hour to take the bus to her place. Her first words? The celery's not cooked enough. FML
Today, I lovingly simmered a chicken carcass, vegetables and spices to make soup. Two hours it took. After all that, I mindlessly strained out the chicken bones and let the soup pour straight down the sink. FML
Today, I was in bed sick from pneumonia. I asked my boyfriend to nuke a can of soup for me. He said "in a sec, let me finish this game" and continued to play on his Xbox for an hour. Starving, I crawled out to make soup. When I sat down to eat, he paused the game and asked "you didn't make me any?" FML
Today, I had a horrible stomach flu and was well into my second hour of dry heaving when I heard my husband knock on the bathroom door. I was touched that he was worried about me, until I heard, "Honey, what did you make for dinner?" FML
Today, my boyfriend made me breakfast because I had a cold. Because my nose was so stuffed, I couldn't tell that our milk had gone bad. I had two cups. And now I'm stuck on the toilet. FML
Today, I was miserable with a cold. So I ordered soup and noodles from a new Chinese restaurant. Now I am miserable with a cold and food poisoning. FML
Today, my boyfriend scolded me for asking whether he’d like his favorite soup for lunch when he was, "in absolutely no shape to survive ingesting food." Two hours later he's greedily digging into an almost expired pack of cheap and nasty supermarket waffles from out of his bag. FML
Today, I asked the girl I’m seeing to make me some chicken soup because I was sick. She replied, “If you’re sick, go to the doctor. I’m not doing wifey shit if you’re not gonna make me a wife, let alone a girlfriend.” FML
Today, I was "that idiot" who spent ages making a soup stock from meat and vegetables, but then while separating it forgot to put a pan under the strainer, so I poured the finished stock down the sink, leaving me with only the boiled meat and veg sat sadly in the strainer. Takeaway chinese for tea, then. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Oh, yeah. FYL because you have a boyfriend that actually cares. Stop being a whiny bitch and appreciate that he's at least trying to help you feel better.

You do know that's how broth is made, right?Granted that KFC was probably not a great choice, it probably wouldn't have been that bad if the chicken was still good. Sorry. No real FML here.

Well.. that is how you make soup. Atleast your BF cares enough to try too!

That is kind of cute, but I'd be more concerned with where the bones were before they were in the water. I don't know if I could eat it. Especially since when I have the flu I'm already vomiting most of the day.

Your bf gets an A for effort and an F for cooking skills. At least he tried to make you 'homemade' soup?

an F for cooking skills? Most women over 40 will tell you that is exactly how to make chicken soup, because they were making chicken soup long before packet stock was available. To make chicken soup you need chicken stock, to make chicken stock you either get it out of a packet OR boil chicken bones in water! Now if that was ALL the bf tried to serve her, ok maybe his cooking skills are lacking, but the girl just saw chicken bones boiling - there's no indication that that's all he was going to do. It also depends on whether the bones were chewed clean of meat... that might be a bit gross but hey, she's obviously happy to kiss him, isn't she? So you'd think she'd be happy to share his food, not to mention boiling the bones would kill any germs.

OP should try not being an ungrateful **** and opt for appreciating the gesture her bf tried to make.
