Today, my stepmom asked me to bake pies for a dinner party she was having. Since I love baking, I said yes. When I went to deliver the pies, I found out they were for a family dinner I wasn't invited to. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, it's my mom's birthday. I woke up at midnight to be the first to tell her happy birthday. When I awoke in the morning, I decided to bake her a cake. Little did I know my whole family was going out to lunch to celebrate. I wasn't invited. 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, a friend had invited me to Christmas dinner since I have no family close by. When I got there, she told me that her and her husband had forgotten they had another dinner to go to, and asked if I would watch their kids for them. They each grabbed a handful of cookies I had baked and rushed out the door. FML
Today, I found out that my parents forgot to invite me out to eat with them. I found this out when my mom invited my sister right in front of me. FML
Today, I spent hours baking an apple pie to impress my future mother-in-law. I was especially proud of the fact I'd made the crust and filling myself. When I served it to her, she picked off the crust and, between mouthfuls, bitched that it was nothing like canned pie filling. FML
Today, I had gotten a Costco style pumpkin pie and whipped cream for Thanksgiving dinner. My mom and stepdad ended up so stuffed from the main course of the dinner that they didn't want the pie. I got that stuff for them specifically. I'll have to eat the pie myself so it doesn't go to waste. FML
Today, I bought my mother an apple pie. She made a face at it and said that she'd decided to go on a diet. After I'd left the house, she put it in the oven, forgot about it, and burnt it to a crisp. She then called me up to inform me that I'd wasted my money, and to get her "another damn pie." FML
Today, to be nice, I baked cookies for my step-mom as a birthday present. I burnt my hand while putting them in the oven, but I'd hoped it would be worth it. When she got home, I gave one for her to try. She took a bite, spit it out, and threw it on the floor, asking if it was a joke or if I was really trying to poison her. FML
Today, I thought I was going to a friend’s birthday party. Turns out, it was a surprise party for someone else... and I was the surprise. Everyone shouted “Surprise!” and I realized I wasn’t invited. I awkwardly ate a cupcake and left. FML
Today, my whole family made an hour-long drive to a restaurant that's just a few minutes away from my place. I wasn't invited. FML

You should make her a cream pie, which you can then shove in her face.

Cakes, pies—is any confection NOT a lie anymore?!

Well to be fair it is your "Step" mum. Was it actually your family having the dinner or hers?

I don't think it matters if she is the "stepmom". When she married OPs father two families became one, regardless of blood relation.

I wouldn't take my step child to a dinner with only my family members. The step child would have to have been part of the family for a very long time or from a young age. If they refer to her as their step mum then I doubt this is the case.

Step on your stepmom

Give her the bill then. Say you were under the impression she was hiring you since you weren't invited.

I'm so sorry that you're family isn't accepting of you for whatever reason. Honestly, as hard as it may be, maybe you should just cut them out of your life for a while until they realize what they're missing out on. Good luck OP.

@22 You would seriously cut your family out of your life because your stepmother didn't invite you to ONE dinner party? I feel bad for your family.

I hope you left with the pies. They don't deserve your delicious desserts.

If you've seen/read The Help, then I know what you should do ;)

that's when I would've turned right around, pies in hand, and left.
