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 spent hours baking a multi-layered, detailed cake from scratch for my mom's birthday. It took two seconds for my dog to devour the cake while I picked up a spoon I dropped on the floor. FML

The cake from hell

Today, I tried to bake a cake for my friend's birthday. It turned out looking more like a science experiment gone wrong than a cake. FML

Today, my parents threw out the beautiful birthday cake my aunt made me, and served celery sticks at my party because I need to "watch my weight." FML

Today, it's my mom's birthday. I woke up at midnight to be the first to tell her happy birthday. When I awoke in the morning, I decided to bake her a cake. Little did I know my whole family was going out to lunch to celebrate. I wasn't invited. FML

Baked

Today, I baked a cake for when my mum came home. I did everything I needed to do and put it in the oven, set the timer and went to do some things around the house. When my mum came home, she asked why there was a uncooked cake mix sitting in the oven. I forgot to turn the oven on. FML

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

Today, it was my friend's birthday, so I baked him a cake complete with his name written on it in homemade frosting. After I gave it to him, his mother berated me for it, saying I should have checked with her first before making a cake for her son. He's 28. FML

Today, I spent two hours making a cake that I'd promised my class for weeks. I boarded the train to school, but soon dozed off. A few minutes later, I awoke with a start and noticed a chunk of the cake missing and a homeless man next to me with frosting around his mouth. FML

Today, a coworker left a chocolate cake on the "free food" table in the office. I had a slice. She's just called to ask if she left her grandmother's birthday cake at work. She made it from scratch. Now I'm baking a new cake in the office kitchen. 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

The amount of rage that would well up within me could never be measured by any means of the measurement system, should I have been in that situation... Your mother had a lousy excuse and I really hope she does something to make up for her selfish behavior.

Regardless of a diet, who would cut one piece of someone else's cake. That's just rude, then again so is throwing it out...

Why are people on diets always so inconsiderate. My girlfriend went on a diet and told me I had to as well... Im 6 foot 130 pounds, that's around 50 pounds underweight. My skinniness is what tempted her to go on a diet.

wow, to be honest im kinda suprised there arnt any "her house, her rules. Get a job and move out! Then you can make cakes in your own damn place!" comments...Are all those people on vacation this week or does America just hate fat people more than "moochers?" Seriously though that really sucks. One thing I can't stand is people who dont respect the people who live with them, regardless of who pays the bills. It's never healthy for a relationship to make one person feel like you dont care about them, or to make them feel trapped with you. It will come back to haunt you later when it's YOU who needs something from THEM.

Probably because it's very difficult in this economy to have your own place as a young adult. I'm 25 and still live at home with my parents.

I totally agree with you. Im in pretty much the same boat. Seems like a lot of other people dont get it though. I mean, if they can afford it, then good for them. But whenever someone even mentions their parents on FML, half the comments are "Get a job and move out, freeloader!" as if the expected every 18 year old to just move out onto the streets until their situation gets better. Thats why this comment thread suprised me a bit.

We only respond that way to whiny, spoiled teenage dumbasses. Also I can't speak for everyone but my burning hatred for inconsiderate assholes who think the world owes them something for going on a diet does not extend to all fat people.

It's inexcusable. Your mom is a twat waffle. She had to have known you were baking a cake for your friend's birthday. The cake wasn't for her, she had no right to touch it. I would tell her she needs to make it right ASAP. Otherwise, it's open season on her shit. Start ******* up shit around the house.
