Marital Question On Cooking

[NoWhereKnowWhere]

Yeah I may have been a little harsh and answered with emotion

I was poor growing up and I remember eating things I didn't like or my mum would go without so we could have. I remember pretending something was something else or pretending to really like it. Pretending to be full so someone could have more. I still have some issues with food and hate wasting anything. If I as a child could pretend and eat it anyway why not a grown ass man? But I realise it's not the same situation.

I still think if you're not hungry after you've eaten it what's the issue? Later in life having being in the situation where I'm hungry and have no food or have food but no electricity or gas to cook it. Is it edible? Is it safe for me to eat? If the answer to those questions is yes what's the issue? dietary requirements fair enough that I think comes under the is it safe for me to eat question.

I'm maybe not the right person to answer a thread like this because of all that.

I was poor growing up and I rem...

Ill never forget my grandma smackimg me for taking a bite of fried shrimp and something about it made me throw up. She got mad (as if I could help it) and she smacked me. I was raised to hate wasting food and I refuse to do it. My husband however... Not so much.

He is a crazy picky eater.

Crazy picky eaters must cook for themselves - I know because I am one. I don't expect anyone to cook just the things I like, or change their eating habits to accommodate mine. I also don't change my eating habits to accommodate anyone else. I'm an adult, i know what I like, and I will eat the things I like. To have expectations and beliefs of daily accommodation is not reasonable.

he didn't like what I cooked. He got angry because I had already cooked and wasn't going to cook again.

And why should you? He's a grown up, he can put on his big boy superman tighty-whities and march his own arse into the kitchen. He does know where it is, right? If not, no time like the present to learn. Also, why isn't he helping you and the kids cook? That's family bonding time, setting a good example for the kids, and then he could say what he doesn't like (1 item only) and compromise. You aren't his mommy!!!!

I'll cook what I want for me and my kids. If he wants some he can have some.

Absolutely!!!!!! It''s the 21st century... He can help, he can shut up and eat, or can forage for himself.

My mom's rule growing up was: I just worked all day, you WILL eat what I cook or you just won't eat.

Lol this thread really grinds my gears :mad:
