Cheap

By dimtsis - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff - Australia

Today, I had to go to counselling as my mother thinks I have an eating disorder. All because I didn't want to eat the crap supermarket lasagna she bought for $2. FML

suck it up and eat it or buy ur own food

If your mom bought the lasagna to save money, paying for counselling due to a single event like passing up dinner is a bit of a stretch. Unless your mom has completely lost it, there must've been something going on sometime before for her to come to the conclusion that you have an eating disorder.

yeah, that definitely sucks, I don't blame you though. I also hate frozen dinners.

Everyone is "not hungry" for dinner every once in a while. Your Mom sounds like a tard.

wow... my mom did the same thing, but it was with this homemade tuna salad she made with tomato juice instead of mayonnaise x( it was discusting and I didn't eat for 2 days cuz that's what we ate for lunch and dinner (I snacked, and breakfast) she accused me of starving myself and we had a 3 hr talk..

14, i want to be a beard too! Sounds like oodles of fun. :D

42/OP: FML because your fam cares about your well-being? Gotta say YDI here; how hard is it to just eat a pb&j or something at dinner to set your mom's mind at ease?! My mom, dad, mother-in-law, AND husband all nag me about food because I have a naturally high metabolism and can get malnourished PDQ. My parents are especially bad; since my sibling has a history of eating disorders, we all know what kind of hell it can be, and how easy it is to develop. So you know what I do? I eat SOMETHING in front of them at every meal. Not hard, really.

wait, why didn't your mom just buy you something else?? to me it sounds like she was trying to save money and thus she bought you something nasty for a couple of dollars, But she is spending some hundred dollars on a counselor?!?! Anyone else see a problem with this?? @OP : FYL:(

#24 - I don't know if this was the look you were going for, but you kind of look like Jacob from the Twilight movies at first glance. No disrespect.

Ahh he really does. :] He has some goregous eyes too. :]]

Jacob is probably the best part about the movie ^___^ I like the books better tho...let the trash talking begin >.>

BananaSticker 0

The books are definitely better than the movie. It was such a huge disappointment to wait months to see it, thinking it was going to be as great as the book, then watch it and it's crap. I do love Kristen, though. :] Taylor's hot, but definitely not my type.

Taylor lautner is delicious!(; but yes, the books are wayy better than the movies. but the movies have some sexy characters! haha

It's alright, I've just seen WAYYY too many conversations on FML about Twilight. It's killing me. D:

that'd only make things worse... at least by going she can prove she doesn't have a problem and drop it, but refusing to go will only make her mother think it's even worse than she does now.

Just be grateful you're not starving on the streets.

hahaha oh my. some parents... Fyl Op

wow, someone sounds like they need a job, OP

Tell her that? It's not hard..

I just realized I can vote up my own comment. lmao

Raleigh_bruh 7

Aha, yes you can. :P I'm pretty sure that's what everyone does.

Raleigh_bruh 7

For some reason everything I post whether it's related to the Fml or not gets a thumbs down, aha. Someone hates me. :]

Hahah i didn't even realize you can vote up or down until like 5 minutes agooo.

! I wanna go to sonic. WHO HAS A CAR.

OMG the campfire ones were nasty! I could only finish half of it!

You're missing a trick, OP. Quickly explain that you don't have an eating disorder and then just talk about how your mum jumps to snap conclusions and stuff. Or tell your mum that and see if she listens and doesn't make you go.

you should have brought the lasagna to counseling and told them your mom's a child abuser for trying to force feed you dog food. lol.

Ungrateful, OP. Eat the cheap stuff, You'd eat a $1 cheeseburger from any one of the food chains of America. That is far worse.
