Hey DH, if you want 3yo to eat the dinner you made...

I and my pickier siblings loved cream chipped beef as kids. I don't make it because it is not healthy but I would think if my siblings and I all loved it, my kids might, too.

Communication is good on message boards too. OP is *venting*. Her husband is doing the parenting equivalent of going out in the rain and then bitching and expecting sympathy because he got wet. Well, d'uh. OP isn't really complaining about the chipped beef [although a parent continually making meals the kids aren't fans of is also annoying and passive-aggressive], she's complaining because her DH keeps bitching that the situation plays out *exactly as could be predicted from past experience.* That's frustrating, and message boards are a great place for venting frustrations. Posting here won't fix it of course, but it may let her bleed out the negative emotional response so she can actually address it in a productive way. Or just let her vent off the annoyance and then let it go,

Just be on notice that men generally don't vent about their wives either anonymously or to their buddies. It's not in our DNA; we'd think it makes us (not our spouses) look bad; and for the most part we'd have a pretty negative reaction if we found our wives were complaining about our parenting to the world at large, even anonymously.

There really are better ways to communicate, and you know it. You just can't help yourselves because the validation that you are "right" is more important than your partnership.

NP. And? So? OP isn't a man, she's a woman. And she's venting here and not taking this out on her husband in real life. What's it to you that YOU think there are better ways to communicate frustrations in HER marriage?

Not the PP, but the best way to communicate frustrations are to address them with your partner. Not trash talk them behind their back. Anonymous or not, you're still bashing your partner.

Nope. In every marriage, you pick your battles. The OP seems to know that making dinner is a good thing that her husband does, so she eats it and says thank you. His frustration with his kids not liking the meal and complaining about it--KNOWING they won't like it--is HIS problem, not her problem. So she's not making it her problem. She's venting a bit here, and continues to take polite bites of food she doesn't like, and encouraging her children to try it.

You've never vented about your spouse? Ever?

When I am irritated with him or I don't like something, I tell him. He does the same to me. Neither of us gets offended. It's a novel concept, I know. I do not trash my fiancé behind his back. Ever. I can honestly say 100% I have never talked shit on him. Your spouse is the one person you are supposed to be able to count on for honesty, and to have your back. Trash talking (you call it "venting" but call a spade a spade...it's talking shit) is not having your spouse's back.

AHAHAHAAHFHAAHHAAHAAHAHAHAAAAA...fiance? HAHAHAHA. Come back when you've been MARRIED for more than 5 years.

Maybe you should have tried this venting thing

Look - you don't need to vent and that works for you and your relationships. Great! Seriously, that's great. But just because that's what works best for you / your personality / your relationships doesn't mean it's what will work well for everyone else / all the other relationships. Venting can be a healthy means of dealing with conflict in a relationship.

We split because I didn't want kids, and at first he thought he could deal with that. After numerous heart to hearts, he decided he couldn't deal with it and wanted kids after all. We had a really nice marriage but couldn't compromise on this issue, so we split. Any more questions?

Whine that your husband doesn't help out enough.

When he cooks dinner, criticize his competence.

When he gets fed up with the nagging, he stops trying to be helpful.

Cut off the sex.

Complain on an internet forum.

Get divorced when he finds someone else who appreciates him more.

Wonder why you are old and alone.

I mean, really? Like, there's no option between relentless criticism then divorce, and letting your partner know that you prefer one thing over another?

It must be hard being so very fragile, friend! I hope you have someone to give you certificates of participation every day, to keep you feeling happy.

NP here, but I'm not sure this thread, or DCUM in general, is full of "happily married women". I think that what PP said is actually great advice. I find that bashing anyone, including friends and loved ones, tends to make the relationship worse, even if the person never finds out. It also makes the basher less likely to trust others because they assume others are bashing them, too. This is why so many gossipy types always seem so paranoid and prone to seeing slights.

Maybe you can take over full cooking duties & let him do the dishes.

Or.....On his nights to cook, order in a pizza instead.

Yes, our kids eat a healthful variety of very good foods. They don't just eat "kid stuff." They try the bay's majority of what they are served with no coaxing needed.

But every time he wants to cook, he busts out the Betty Crocker 1970s cookbook and makes canned soup-y stuff his mom used to serve. I always eat it and say thank you, but I can't exactly blame our kids for not wanting to eat this heavy stuff. We are talking LITERALLY shit on a shingle.

The Betty Crocker cookbook is the best selling cookbook of all time, having sold more than three times as many copies as The Joy of Cooking.

Your husband might be very hurt by what you posted. While repairing my ex wife's computer, I came across some of her social media postings where she not only bad-mouthed me to her internet friends, but she even made up stories of things I hadn't done, I guess to garner sympathy from her readers.

Oh, please. First of all, it doesn't matter that Betty Crocker has been around a long time or is best-selling. McDonald's also has been around forever, and tons of people eat there. That doesn't make it good food.

Secondly, your wife's social media is obviously traceable to her. Anonymous postings aren't. He can't tell whether I'm reading a thread or writing, or what I'm contributing if I am writing. Plus, I change details.

I love my Betty Crocker cookbook. I use it for a lot of staples. And it has great recipes for pie, cake and cookies.

The thing with little kids is that they don't ke anything new. You just keep making different stuff and offering it to them. Eventually they will try it and decide if they like it.

Succotash is corn and beans. That should be right in a toddler's wheelhouse.
