[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sort of at my wits end and don’t know how to proceed without appearing hysterical or petty.

I cook basic/traditional/comfort foods, everyone is bored. I get more fancy/exotic, everyone complains. I ask for input, everyone draws a blank.

Today, every. single. person. came to the table and gave an audible “ew” over what I had prepared. Even DH.

I’m done. I plan, shop for, cook, and clean up dinner every day. In our sharing of household tasks, cooking is mine, so if I strike over this it will seem hysterical, petty. Is there a more mature way to handle this, or should I just throw in the towel?[/quote]

I'm impressed you even made it this far.  I gave up around when DS was old enough to talk (complain).  Now I mostly cook Trader Joes frozen meals (put them in a frying pan, done in 5 minutes).  I get the ones they like over and over.  If they don't want to eat it, I tell them to make their own food.  I keep plenty of PBJ and hot dogs and so on so that they can always find food they are capable (potentially, at least) of making themselves, and won't starve to death. [/quote]
