“They aren’t even blood-related. My husband is his stepfather,” she revealed.
Anyway, she’s just annoyed because they both used to love her meals and praise her cooking. That’s why she doesn’t understand why they became so picky over time.
Both her husband and her son suddenly started saying they weren’t hungry whenever she’d cook, declining to even touch her food. Or, they’d flat-out tell her, “I’m not eating that,” causing a perfectly good dish to go to waste.
She got so fed up with this that, a couple of months ago, she simply stopped cooking for her husband and her son at all.
“My husband brought it up like it was a problem that I’m not making any of the three boring dishes he can handle. I’m sick of cooking these three dishes, and sometimes, they won’t even eat that!” she reasoned.
This has left her husband and her son to “fend for themselves” at dinner time, and thankfully, she feels much less stressed out.
She thinks it’s only fair as well, given the fact that she works full-time, just like her husband. And if he wants to be picky, she believes he can figure out his own food.
As for her meals, she’s been enjoying “girl dinners” alone, which mostly consist of cheese and crackers.
Nonetheless, she can’t help but wonder if never cooking for her husband and son anymore is justified or makes her a jerk.
Does it sound like her husband needs to grow up? How would you have handled this?
