Today, I spent two hours making dinner for my boyfriend's family. When I brought it over to their house they said "thanks" and didn't bother to invite me to stay to eat it. FML

At least now you know they're not worth expending any effort for.

You should have said "Now that you saw my food I guess I'll be leaving with it, I just wanted to show you how delicious it was!!"

maybe they thought it was just agiven that you'd eat with them, and that they didn't have to ask you to stay?

Yeah, I'm with the people who are saying that they probably expected you to eat it with them and were baffled that you just came over, left it there and took off. On that note, people need to stop being so passive-aggressive. If you want to stay and eat it with them, sit down and start eating, or at the very least, say "mind if I join you?" Don't just leave because you're waiting for an invite and then complain to the internet about how you took off because you weren't able to bring yourself to make a decision in an ambiguous situation. Seriously, stop caring so much about all these dumb social cues and guidelines and goofy ritual dances and be direct with people. And if it turns out they really are jerks about it, at least you'll know for sure instead of guessing because they weren't totally clear.

Did they tell you to leave or did you just leave? If they asked you to leave, then FYL, but otherwise you're an idiot.

#8 is a genius. You must be a gemini! I mean you do something nice for someone and then trash them later. Do you need them to beg you. I bet that they thought you were kinda wierd 1. make them dinner at your place. 2. pack everything up 3. take it to them 4. THEN JUST LEAVE. WHAT! You, my friend are strange. Two faced if you ask me. You should have been a realist and grabed a seat at the table. Now if they said that there was no room for you to sit and eat thats another story. Put your big girl pants on and get over it! I bet I am right on the gemini part. lmao

Well, isn't it implied that, since you made the food and brought it over, you're staying to eat it? Either way, when you mentioned your intention to leave, he or his parents should have had you stay. FYL

Wow dude...that sucks. Sounds like my boyfriend's parents!! Luckily he's nothing like them. Hopefully the same is true for you.

That's what women are suppose to do? Cook meals to men. Now go back to the kitchen and prepare a new meal woman!

kinda agree with #2o there i mean if they had asked for the food and not invited u in well bill them, u werent born to make them food, but if u just dropped by they could of thought it was just a kind gesture or they could have been having a really important conversation tht ppl out side the family couldnt know about

probably just you would join them regardless

I have cooked at my girlfriends house for their family, both her mother, and father (they're divorced) before, and the best way to make sure you eat with them, is to cook at their house. Besides, shortly after that nice feeling of generosity I displayed to them, they turned into real insensitive people, who felt more hell bent on making me and my family feel bad, that I could care less if they actually liked the food I prepared for them. Trust me, you're better off without the parents, even if the boy/man is worth it.
