Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Free labor
Today, I finally accepted my mom will never be a good person, and I'm looking forward to her dying. Apparently, she'd been telling everyone I was a difficult child. I was cooking dinner for her and her boyfriends way back in elementary school. FML
Sad Chef ;(
United States
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. Being a chef of a highly-rated restaurant, I cooked a well-liked dish. Not only did she say no, but commented on how bland and tasteless the meal was. FML

Mom knows best
Today, my mom once again told me that I'm too young and immature to get married, and that I don't know what love is. I'm 29, have a successful career, own my own home, and am financially stable. FML

Make it yourself, champ
Today, I overheard my boyfriend complaining that I’m lazy since I never cook for him. I stopped cooking for him because he constantly complained that the food was never as good as what his ex-wife made, or like his mom made. FML

Shut up
Today, my boyfriend's mother who lives with us decided that since I work from home, it would be a good idea for her to stay home and keep me company. "Keeping me company" includes ordering me to make her food, gossiping non stop, and ridiculing me for not being the woman that she always saw her son marrying. FML

Fear of mash
Today, my mother insists that because I won’t eat my dad’s mashed potatoes, it means I must think he is a bad cook and that I'm a disrespectful little prick. I wouldn’t touch mashed potatoes even if Gordon Ramsay made them, and I was on the brink of starvation. FML

Today, my boyfriend's mother told me she had fantasies about throwing him out a window when he was a baby because she was so depressed and couldn't handle the stress. The worst part is he wants to get married. She'd be my mother-in-law. FML

Today, my mom told me that she doesn't want me to help any of my friends get a job at the restaurant I work at. Apparently, she thinks that they would do a better job than me and get me fired. FML

Today, I met my boyfriend's parents. Later on, his mom pulls me aside and tells me to back off, saying he will never marry someone like me and he should be with a nice girl like his ex. They broke up after he found her in his bed with his roomate. FML

That is so sexist. If you want to learn how to cook then learn but if you're not interested then that's fine too. I took cooking classes before going to college since I refused to live off ramen. It's good skills to have but doesn't mean you need to use them every day. Married now and I cook few times per week and take turns with my husband making meals.

Well I see two people you could probably chop out of your life. Spa-ghett out of there.

well, one, **** him. he can learn to cook for himself. two, your mom (and apparently, your boyfriend) don't get there's a lot more to a person than how well they can cook? And therefore there should be more to a relationship and a marriage? Sorry they're both asshats.

You should know how to cook. Feeding YOURSELF good food is important. Screw everyone else, do it for yourself. Relationships come and go, food is forever.

I can relate OP. my grandmother told me "no man will want you if you don't learn to cook well." I was in high school and declined the invite to watch her cook dinner and learn the recipe.

Tell him that if he wants servants, he should make more money to hire some.

If you can't make rice, boil water to make pasta or throw chicken, fish or pork in a pan to make dinner then yes you can't cook and will live out of a take out menu. But if you can do those thing and your boyfriend can also and he doesn't like your cooking tell him to cook his own food like most adults do or the 2 of you take cooking classes together. I think doing stuff together will make your relationship better and if you like it enough you can make a career change. Or just play your own version of chopped as you home

If you can't cook well, she failed as a mother.
