Miscellaneous: Today, I spent hours baking an apple pie to impress my future...

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 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, at a family party, my uncles were complimenting my mom on her pies. I cooked them. She took all the credit. FML

Slice of Freudian slip

Today, I was talking to my wife about the pie she'd made and she was really leaning on the need to be reassured, so I said, "It was real good Mom." FML

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

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 baked a strawberry cake and I didn't have any fresh strawberries for garnish, so I used a can of strawberry pie filling. My neighbors said it looked like the cake was taken from the dumpster behind an abortion clinic. FML

Today, trying to impress my in-laws, I put a lot of effort into selecting a nice bottle of wine for dinner at their house. When I got there, I gave the bottle to my wife's mother. Later, my father-in-law emerges from the kitchen to berate his wife over her poor choice of wine. It was mine. FML

Today, I baked a chicken pot pie in the oven. I pulled it out, and noticed a big piece of tasty-looking, flaky pastry had come loose. Without thinking I ripped it off and popped it into my mouth. I HEARD the skin on the inside of my cheeks burn. FML

Today, my grandmother has been complaining that I spend too much on food, so I started cooking food from scratch. I happily showed her my recipe book and encouraged her to try a few. She then mocked me for wasting time by not buying frozen food. FML

Today, I brought a cupcake to school for my friend's birthday. After taking one bite, she exclaimed that it was the worst thing she had ever tasted and that we should sue the store that I bought it from. I baked it myself. FML

I think cyanide may be a good ingredient to add next time you make one for her... But jokes aside, don't bother making her anything, she'll never like anything you cook.

If she stuffed herself then you know she liked it. It might take her a while to admit the same.

She's just looking for reasons not to like you because you're "taking her baby away". Ignore her bullshit.

She sounds pretty low-rent.

What an ungrateful bitch. Please don't take that crap from her. Stand up for yourself. She may hate you for it for a while, but then at least she'll know that she can't get away with treating you that way.

Moral of the story: don't try hard to impress people. People will hate your guts if they've made their mind up about you no matter how hard you try to please them or how much time to put into something. You will only frustrate yourself.

That is just like my mother-in-law. So now when she comes to my house we go out and they end up paying.

This is a reason why I'm going to find and marry a guy who doesn't have a mother.

1. Maybe you're not meant to make pie. It might have been awful. However if she ate it then she obviously like it enough to swallow it down. And she didn't die so it must have been edible. 2. You should not make her anymore anything. She is ungrateful.
