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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to make cookies, the box said mix by hand so I literally used my hands. Not a fork or anything. My step-mom walked in and laughed at me. FML
Today, I baked my boyfriend his favorite cookies for his birthday. Well, I tried. I followed the recipe, but they somehow turned out diamond hard. When he tried to bite into one, he chipped a tooth. Instead of being mad, he laughed and said, “At least you tried.” Now I’m stuck with inedible cookies and a dentist's bill. 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, I baked a cake. After feeding it to my entire family, I opened the stove, planning to temporarily store the cake inside. I then noticed a mouse, burnt to a crisp. FML
Today, I woke up early and spent hours baking and icing a three-tier cake for my friend's eighteenth birthday, which is this evening. I just found out my mother threw it in the compost bin because she's on a diet and it was "tempting" her. FML
Today, I told my crush I’d bring homemade cookies. The batch burned so badly the smoke alarm screamed. In desperation, I bought store cookies, put them on a tray, and claimed them as mine. My crush said, “These taste store-bought.” I panicked and confessed. FML
Today, I made my mom cookies for Mother's Day. My brother took all the cookies to work as a snack, because I didn't specifically tell him that the homemade "MOM" hearts weren't meant for him. FML
Today, to treat the family, I cooked something nice in appreciation for sticking it out over the past few tough months. Unfortunately, I chose this one day to not wear my oven mitts when carrying the food to the table, spilling the food all over the carpeted floor. FML
Today, as I was making biscuits my mom joked, "Don't burn the house down." I told her "Don't worry, I know how to make biscuits." The oven caught fire. FML
Today, after placing it on top of the stove, my hot tray of freshly-baked cookies slipped. I caught it, though. With my bare hand. FML

I wonder why in fairy tales it is always the stepmother who is so wicked! I'm sure there r many stepchildren who resent an unknown woman taking their mother's place & make her life miserable. And why nothing about monstrous stepfathers? I guess 1 reason may b fairy tales in those days were composed mainly by women & these stories reflected their anxiety about dying & another woman taking their place & potentially abusing their children. See, even in those days women gave a pass to the men & reserved their hatred, jealousy & suspicion towards other women. Like in the other FML where the girl says "my sister cheated on her boyfriend by sleeping with my boyfriend" not "my boyfriend cheated on me by sleeping with my sister!"

Just because you burnt yourself doesn't mean she needs to fake enjoying your nasty cookies. Learn to bake correctly or gtfo.

Why is everyone assuming that the stepmom is evil? it could just be that the OP is a terrible cook. OP next time, try eating one of the cookies to see how it tastes before offering it to other people. It's not like it's a cake, and you can't taste it first...

Agreed. I wish people appreciated honesty a little more. If the mom had said they're amazing, the op would keep making them again and again. Not to mention it seems like she really did think it was some sort of prank and probably wasn't deliberately trying to be rude.

It's not impossible to taste a cake beforehand either. It's called making a cupcake with the same batter.

#120 is correct. You can absolutely taste the cake batter before it's been baked.

Evil stepmothers will always be evil. On the side note, "Shinee" as your user name? Guess we have a K-pop lover here (:
