Does anyone have one? Please tell me I am not alone?
My husband is nearly 40 and I am getting really fed up of his manners.
I try to cook a nice meal everyday and something different and you know it can take a while to cook a nice dinner. I am not the perfect cook but neither am I the worst.
Now everytime I put something in front of DH he either turns his nose up,goes in a silent sulk or starts asking questions about it!!
DH is a moaner anyway which I am slowly learning to live with but this can actually be quite upsetting. My family learnt to eat whatever was on their plate,be grateful and say thankyou! (mum was a very good cook though!)
If, on the rare occasion DH actually says he likes it I am overjoyed and feel I have passed an exam!
This week some examples of what I have cooked are a beef stew and dumplings, Fish with garlic potatoes and veg,Meatballs and spaghetti,shepherds pie and Omlettes.
Sometimes I feel like going down to tesco and putting a ready made meal in front of him (which has been done and ended in anothr sulk!)
I dont know what else to do. Any ideas?
If its any use, DH grew up in Nigeria but is very westernised having been in the UK over 20 years!(but says he doesnt want any Nigerian food!) God help me!
PS: I also get a bit annoyed when sometimes his extended family visits and they bring their own food even if they know I have cooked.
One time I cooked for a cousin who had come over from Nigeria and she wouldnt even taste it but just turned her nose up! Imagine if I did that when I went over there! (which I have been a few times and ALWAYS eat whatever they make.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Fortunately for him he liked everything I cooked but I have had a couple of kids who wanted to be picky eaters, who would have been tyrants if I'd been a push over but I wasn't.
I fixed meals that I knew where HEALTHY and with the size of our family affordable and what was there was it and if they didn't like it tought shit but there would be NO ALTERNATIVES OR SNACKING LATER because they were "hungry". I'm totaly with Rushanna on this one. If he does not like what you cook tell him to do it himself. There is no way I'd tolerate that behavior and disrespect and I'd be almost willing to bet money if he's such a whiner about food then there are a lot of other things that he acts like a spoiled child about too.
my bf introduced me to a lot of foreign that i wanted to try and i loved it! we grew up eating dinner that came from the store u know those tv dinners. me and him are green eating raw organic and vegan foods. my taste buds have changed since my bf made me start eating veggies cuz i used to just drink them.
