Today, my kids told me that for the FIRST time, my cooking was delicious. I made Kraft dinner that night. 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 decided to cook dinner for my wife and kid. After a long day of preperation and cooking I asked them what they thought of it. My 12 year old son then says, "I would say it tastes like shit but not even shit tastes this bad!" My wife then laughed and gave him a high-five. FML

Today, after years of providing daily various home-made colourful meals for three kids and a husband, I was asked to "cook something cool, like instant hamburgers, not that lame healthy shit". FML

Today, I felt bad about rarely complimenting my mom about her cooking, so during dinner, I raved about her incredible, creamy, macaroni and cheese. It came from a box. FML

Let him cook
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, 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

Today, my parents told me not to make plans for dinner as they were bringing it home. Normally, that would be great but they brought home slop from some buffet that had just opened. Everything was greasy, too salty, or bland. I told them they could have it, and made my own dinner. Now I'm being called, "The Food Network critic." FML

One happy family
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
cook for yourself dammit!
Kitchen Nightmares
Today, tired of my husband complaining that my food was basic and bland, I went out of my way to learn to cook using new recipes and fresh ingredients. He complained that I took too long to make dinner, and that the food is "fancied up shit." He can cook his own meals now. FML

Tasty treat
Today, my mom tried a new recipe for dinner. She proudly served what she called "gourmet vegetable stew." One bite later, I had to fight every urge to not gag. She asked me how it tasted, and with a straight face, I said, "Delicious!" She then asked for my honest opinion, so I told her it was, um, "an acquired taste." She hasn’t spoken to me since. FML

If your husband likes your cooking, don't sweat it. Kids are naturally scornful of stuff that doesn't have fat or sugars or some such thing that tastes good to undeveloped taste buds. Try to convince your man to help with meals if not cook them himself, and in the meantime seek some advice or try a cookbook. Don't make wacky dishes or try anything with a strong flavor to it, as a remotely picky kid will hate it. Avoid veggies that are naturally spicy or tangy. And, as much as it may kill a health-conscious mother to do it, don't buy low-fat, low-sodium, low-etc anything. They really do taste worse than the standard. Also consider making stuff like pizza, which is much healthier homemade than from a chain.

#6 (Tarunyboy), how does that imply she doesn't spend enough time with them? Saying that she made Kraft and that they complimented it for the first time implies that maybe they don't like her home cooking, which would imply she does spend time with them since she is cooking them home cooked meals. Maybe I'm stretching it, but I hardly think anyone can gather that she doesn't spend enough time with her kids from this FML. And to the poster, don't feel bad. I'm assuming your kids are young, so their idea of a fantastic meal is probably a McDonald's happy meal. Children can't appreciate fine cuisine. If adults frequently insult your cooking, then you may have a problem.
