Today, my kids told me that for the FIRST time, my cooking was delicious. I made Kraft dinner that night. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
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
Picky
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
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.

lol #65. Ignorance is bliss, isn't it? You know nothing about my life, what I am doing, or if I am involved in a relationship or not. If you're on the side of people that I need to "grow up" then take a look at your comments insulting me. Also, I am not the only one who has insulted the OP here (#69 said something along the same lines I did, not saying it is a bad thing #69), and I do not see anyone crucifying him for his comments. I'm not the first person ever to insult someone on this site, and frankly, there has been a lot worse said. You do not have to believe anything that I said, I honestly do not care. I came back to see if my original comment had been moderated, and it hasn't.

#72 well you see I don't like ignorance and frankly I like to joke around and have a good time. As a matter of fact people say that they love being around me, I just feel that there is no reason to just plain insult someone without them provoking you. It's a matter of disrespect and just joking around and #69 didn't say anything hurtful. Oh and also 69 lolololololololololololololololol

hahaha Don't take it hard. My brothers and I used to give my mom SO MUCH SHIT for her bad cooking. It wasn't even bad, we were just little brats. And no matter what she made, we always loved mac and cheese, spaghetti-o's and ramen noodles the most.

Kids love fatty food... maybe you really do stink at it. but most kids would pick craft mac and cheese over a large percent of food. My daughter ( whos 2) picks Kraft over my homemade mac and cheese ( my whole family and in laws love it).
