Today, I spent hours cooking an amazing dinner for my family, who had just gotten home from a trip, so we could spend some time together because I'd started to miss everyone. When they got home, they saw it all laid out and just took plates to their room, without even telling me they were home. FML

Kinda sounds like eating in their rooms is allowed? Growing up, I always had to sit and eat at the dinner table or no food. Eating in my room sounds like a nice peaceful treat! Like many have said, they might have been tired of traveling. Plus sick and tired of being with each other too. But at least greeting you should have been done, no questions there.

My parents don't like eating at the table and they complain when they can't sit and watch TV. We only eat at a table as a family if we go out or for Christmas dinner :(

My family always makes it an option to eat together and occasionally I do. But considering my family is extremely religious and conservative and I'm very liberal and not religious a dinner table is the worst place for us to talk. There is no specific thing to talk about at the dinner table so it ends up be general conversation about everyone's day. This is a breeding pool of conflicting thoughts that only lead to fighting. TL;DR: Some families probably know that eating together too often is a bad idea for them.

It sounds like the standard has been set and that they don't realize they're doing anything wrong.

That's a shame but hopefully they'll tell you how much they appreciated it later it was super sweet of you

Very ungrateful but perhaps they needed some time to settle back in? Give them a day and try to talk to them about how it made you feel. I think an apology or at least an explanation is needed

Sucks op, and definitely rude. I bet they appreciated it though. It's family, I sure someone already apologized and you all have moved on.

Next time mix in laxatives in the main dish. Sucks to be unappreciated but it's the thought that counts OP

After seeing each other every day of the trip they probably were fed up with each other and needed some time alone. Don´t take it personally

Don't take it personally, I know after I get home from a trip all I want to do is spend some time by myself. They'll come around.

They must've never had proper meals on their vacation

You weren't there to greet them? I'm sure if you were there they'd sit with you

They probably just needed their space :p although it was rude, being stuck together for a long time, hangry and jetlaged is a bad mix. Probably nicer to see them all after they have rested. :)
