About this ready meal falling on the floor?

I'm at my parents house for the weekend (for Mother's Day). Back story: I moved out when I was 18 and I'm now nearly 30 so I'm quite used to looking after myself.

I've driven 150 miles to come home. My parents are going out tonight to a party (not an unusual occurrence) so they bought me a ready meal to have for my dinner.

Just went to put said ready meal in the oven, didn't realise it was already hot and then dropped the meal on the floor. Swore a bit, in annoyance went into the lounge.

My parents asked if I wanted some money for the chip shop but I said no as I already did this last night. I said when I work up the motivation (it being Saturday night after all) I would go and find something to cook.

At this point my mum started crying, ran out of the room and hasn't come back.

Can anyone tell me what I have done wrong here?

(Just made myself some soup etc so I'm not starving)

And how come you weren't aware that the oven was hot when you WERE aware that they'd just used it to cook pizza? Confused

The mystery deepens....

Come on, you reverted to your teenage self once back in the family home, and threw the ready meal on the floor in a strop didn't you? Fess up.

If it's an unusual thing to happen, why didn't you go and find out what was up rather than debating it on Mumsnet?

So so many unanswered questions here
Just going to settle in right here and wait for the drip feed OP

Unless it was a hugely important party, I think they should have stayed in and spent time with you, or could you not have just gone with them? At the very least they could have eaten with you before they left.

There must be issues going on.

They've known for a couple of weeks about my visit as my sister booked a table for tomorrow.

Tbh my other siblings live at home so I don't think they see it as a huge occasion when I'm there. No I didn't get invited to the party.

It's not about the ready meal Tea. Something is up particularly as you say your siblings are still at home.

What did the other siblings have to eat?
