Miscellaneous: Let him cook

Let him cook

By Max - 09/04/2014 18:32 - United States

Today, due to my wife saying I never cook and that we always order pizza, I spent a good hour preparing dinner. While serving it to my kids, they started complaining. My wife told them to shut up. When she took a bite, she looked up at me, smiled, and said, "Do you, you know, want to just order pizza?" FML

Today, my girlfriend bitched that we spend too much money on food, and needed to start cooking to save money. I got home from work and started dinner. Halfway through, my girlfriend sighed and said, "This is taking too long, I'll order pizza." FML

Today, I burned dinner because my girlfriend was yelling for me to help with a trivial problem. To salvage things, I ordered pizza. She spent the rest of the evening moaning that I ruined dinner, that we don't eat healthy, and that I "make us" waste money on food. FML

Today, I decided to cook dinner for my wife and kid. After a long day of preperation and cooking I asked them what they thought of it. My 12 year old son then says, "I would say it tastes like shit but not even shit tastes this bad!" My wife then laughed and gave him a high-five. FML

Today, I asked my husband to watch our kids while I cooked food for him. Apparently I asked in the wrong tone, because now he's pouting and won't eat. FML

Today, I spent hours cooking an amazing dinner for my family, who had just gotten home from a trip, so we could spend some time together because I'd started to miss everyone. When they got home, they saw it all laid out and just took plates to their room, without even telling me they were home. FML

Today, as I was pressed for time, I opened some canned food for dinner. When my children were served, they said, "Mmm, this is best meal you've ever cooked for us!" I cook healthy, balanced meals every day. FML

Today, my kids told me that for the FIRST time, my cooking was delicious. I made Kraft dinner that night. FML

Today, after years of providing daily various home-made colourful meals for three kids and a husband, I was asked to "cook something cool, like instant hamburgers, not that lame healthy shit". FML

Today, I bought ingredients for one of my favorite meals and went home to take a nap. When I woke up, my sister had cooked them for everyone else in the house, who ate it all without me. I was told that I shouldn't be angry, but instead proud of my adult sister because, "She cooked!" FML

Keeping up appearances

Today, I ordered food for delivery. I actually made it sound as if there were other people at home so I had an excuse for ordering so much. I don't think they bought it. FML

At least you put in the effort, OP. I hope your wife at least appreciates that you listened to her! Maybe you and her could make dinner together some time so you can learn, and as a bonus, you get to spend time together :)

OP is a wonderful man for taking the initiative and, even if it wasn't a great outcome, at least trying to help his wife and provide more than money for his family. And his wife sounds like a relatively tactful, supportive, and appreciative spouse. All-in-all, I'd say that rather than FYL, OP, you've got it fairly good.

Unfortunately, some people are bad at cooking they don't think of how flavors interact. My mom figured well if you like it normally it'll go great with a bunch of there stuff you like. Never thinking about what that would taste like. Though, I've had friends who would eat the worst junk food( hot pockets, lot junk stuff) and were so specific when ordering at a restaurant it was incredible.

As much as it sucks to know your family doesn't like your cooking, you won't have to prepare it again later. Short term pain, long term gain.

Cooking is an art which cannot be acquired overnight, first step is an initiative.. Practice will make you better with time. Try AVOIDING burgers, pizza, sandwiches and all the fried stuff as much possible..it will only increase your BMI and chances of CAD, HTN & DM.
