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, I told my parents that I was going on a diet to lose weight and I wanted their support. They brought home donuts and pizza for dinner. 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

Bullying ain't cool, guys

Today, on my 30th birthday, my mom, aunt, and sister staged an intervention instead of throwing a party. Apparently I’m “ruining my life” by being 300lbs and being "single for 5 years" and I need to “get my act together.” They treated me like I’m some sort of criminal and reduced me to tears. FML

Family time

Today, my parents decided to go on a diet. This would be perfectly fine if they didn’t insist I go on one too. I weigh less than 90 pounds and am underweight for my height. FML

Today, as I'm 7 months pregnant and craving sweets, I helped myself to my MIL's birthday cake a little early. The family got so angry, they actually made me leave the party. My husband agreed with them. FML

Today, I got told I was too fat and needed to stop eating, because I need to lose weight. I was then given a full plate of food and had to eat it all. FML

Today, my niece offered me a slice of cake. After I refused, she asked, "Why not? Aren't fat people always hungry?" FML

Today, while at my mom’s house, my mom told me that I need to seriously curb my food intake. Then I went to my dad’s house and he told me I need to gain weight. I can’t win here. FML

Skinny love

Today, despite begging my parents to get food other than diet and weight loss stuff, they refused. I'm bullied for being skinny on a daily basis. FML

Wow OP! You really have very loving and supporting parents. You should be thankful they care about you enough to watch what you are eating and prevent you from inhaling all those calories the cake has. NO, I am not serious! That sucks! Birthdays are meant to be enjoyed! Maybe your next birthday will be better OP!

Optimystical. But surely that is no consolation at all.

I thought I'd try being culturally accepting and throw up a mention. (I actually just typo'd optimistic and stuck with it.) I'm sorry everyone, I've let you down again. I'll try to make sense, honest.

Seriously, one little piece of cake isn't going to cause you to gain a million pounds instantly. Parents FAIL. If I were the kid's aunt, I'd be expecting compensation of some sort. You don't put time and money into something like that just to have it thrown away!

Threaten to kill yourself if they don't buy you a cake. or beat your mom down with the celery sticks and then sodomize your dad with them using the tomato juice they serve as a beverage as lube.
