I am on strike!!! I am only cooking for myself from now on!!! I am sick and tired of my husband, step daughter, and my girls bitching!!!! If it were up to them we would eat the same 5 meals every week!!! The latest: I made pancakes this morning for breakfast, my husband came over and wanted me to wipe the pan out before I made his. He didnt like that the previous butter be cooked on his pancake. I told the girls I was making pancakes, they were happy. My step daughter came down and looked at them and said she wasnt hungry for pancakes. They are so ungrateful!! They should be thankful they have food and someone else cooked for them!!!!

How can they be so selfish when you do so much for them. They don't appreciate you. When we try to do nice things for people, it always seems to bite us in the butt. They should be thankful.

You know what?Fix the food and if they don't want it,they don't eat it.It's funny how when they get hungry their tunes change a little...

I am sorry they are not happy and grateful,they should be happy that you cook for them. MAybe just cook for yourself for awhile then maybe they will apprciate you more. See what happens. Good luck and *hugs*

Hey they are old enough to fix a bowl of cereal for themselves or they can figure out the microwave. Your not a short order cook. If they are not going to be happy with no matter what you put on the table then let them do for themselves. If my daughter dont like what i fix she gets a bowl of cereal. Its not the best dinner maybe but she doesnt go hungry and i dont fix three different meals.

I agree with brat3. My kids at that age were welcome to fix what they wanted if they didn't like what I fixed. They also had to clean up their mess. My son got so good at it he became a chef. Go figure

cmain--you're right.they don't know what they've got. Let um wing it on their own a while but on a budget. The'll come back. No one can fail to appreciate ready made food when just groggily getting morning act together.

I agree with the above - You shoild cook what you want to cook for breakfast and if they don't like it - oh well.........it's not your job to be all things to all people - mainly because that is impossible. You be your own person and don't be anyone's servant. The next time your husband complains about precooked butter with his pancakes - hand him a paper towel.
You take care.

Just be still! don't say anything. Don''t get mad,Don't serve anyone,Don't talk to anyone right. Just make yourself a nice bath with bubbles, put on some relaxing music, spray on some perfume,lotion and powder youself and make this time just for you, and don't say one word. Let them think about how ugly they have been and how bad they hurt you by being ungrateful. Don't yell or scream, just be quiet and be still,give it to God. When they do come to you don't say a word, just let them think about the things that they say and do. When you remove yourself they will miss you and everything that you do for them. Remember don't say not one word, and don't do anything, just do things quietly for you.

AMEN! I threaten with strikes often, not because of food, but because I get so tired of cleaning up the same things day after day. No one notices until I don't do it! Your family should be grateful, my mother never cooked us breakfast! (My new threat is that I'm going to change my name and not tell anyone what it is!)

Unblievable. That is utterly ridiculous. I'm sorry you have to deal with such ungrateful folks. They don't realize how good they have it. I hope you can stick to your strike and stick it to them.

I had three step children when i was married to my first husband - I set the rules pretty quickly - when they'd dump their dirty laundry in the laundry for me to wash - it sat there - and sat there - and they finally got the hint. You're not a maid and don't let them treat you like one.

sounds to me like they are taking advantage of you without realizing it..u should sit them all down and lay it down the way it is...you were nice enough to make pancakes but sometimes people just dont see it and should be spoken too. I at times am that way with my wife, i sometimes take it for granted without realizing it..people ar ejust human and should be reminded that what we do is out of the kindness of our hearts and should not be picky on what they have or get.....

Tell them what I tell my daughter. "This is not a restaurant and you dont get a choose off the menu." I also tell her when you have a job and are buying the food then you can eat what YOU want, until then, its whatever I fix. LOL. Seems to be working so far. Hang in there.
angelndisguise
now thats not nice they should be more grateful

Then STOP cooking for them.
They won't starve (even tho sometimes that wouldn't be a BAD thought. :)
