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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, at a family party, my uncles were complimenting my mom on her pies. I cooked them. She took all the credit. FML
Today, as I was pressed for time, I opened some canned food for dinner. When my children were served, they said, "Mmm, this is best meal you've ever cooked for us!" I cook healthy, balanced meals every day. FML
Today, I tried to cook a nice meal for my sister's friends. It turned out perfect and they enjoyed it, while I was in the bathroom throwing up for two hours due to food poisoning. FML
Today, as I'm pregnant, my mom came over to do some nice things for me, such as clean my kitchen and cook a large pot of my favorite soup. When she left, I took a nap, planning to eat later. I woke up to find my roommates had trashed my kitchen and eaten all my soup. 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, my sister in law threatened to call CPS on me because I “starved” her children when they spent the night. I didn’t starve them. I made an actual home cooked meal instead of the microwaveable or fast food crap she constantly feeds them. They chose not to eat and threw tantrums instead. FML
Today, my entitled brother-in-law called me unannounced as I was having lunch and asked if I had food for him and his wife. I said, "The food I have at home will only be enough for my husband." Now I'm the villain for not cooking enough for sudden unexpected mealtime visitors. FML
Today, due to my wife saying I never cook and that we always order pizza, I spent a good hour preparing dinner. While serving it to my kids, they started complaining. My wife told them to shut up. When she took a bite, she looked up at me, smiled, and said, "Do you, you know, want to just order pizza?" FML
Today, my kids told me that for the FIRST time, my cooking was delicious. I made Kraft dinner that night. FML

Jeez that’s messed up, but that’s what should be expected if you’re living in a house with other people... unless it’s specifically marked as yours, it’s free game.

If you didn't buy it, it's definitely not free game

I feel sorry for whoever is or will be your roommate.

roommate and living with family is no where near the same thing. roommates eat what they buy, family house everything is for everyone.

I always ask my roommate if I can have something. It’s common courtesy.

I understand, but if they are at their parents house, and the sister is coming back from vacation, she wouldn’t know the groceries were OP’s...

And they couldn’t at least bother to wake her up to see if she wanted any? That’s the true FML right there.

what were you on that put you in such a deep sleep you couldn't smell it cooking

Do you personally know the layout of the OP's house? If not than you really shouldn't be so quick to judge. It's possible that with the door close the smell wasn't strong enough for them to notice without already being awake. It's also possible that the OP is just naturally a heavy sleeper or that their brain doesn't smell cooking food and immediately go "That must be mine! It's impossible that other people in this house own and eat food!" and cause them to wake up.

You can’t smell when you’re asleep

Who wakes up from the smell of food? I've never been close enough to the kitchen and I don't usually sleep during the day, but I can't imagine that it would wake me up.

the only time I've woken up to the smell of food was sleeping on a couch next to my kitchen but even then i cant be sure if it was smell or sound that woke me

That was still very rude, regardless of who bought the food. If she cooked for everyone else in the house, she should have been cooking for OP as well. At the very least, ONE of them should have had the decency to offer to save a plate.

My thoughts exactly. If you're cooking for everyone in the house, save a plate for the person who isn't there

You bought the ingredients and they didn’t even leave some for you? Your whole family is inconsiderate.
