[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone should know how to cook and have a few meal recipes memorized.

Just say that.

Someone your dating has his elderly mother sending meals daily? He cannot figure out how to feed his own kids or meal plan? [/quote]

[b]OP: his mom is in her 60's, but yes. It sounds more like a cultural tradition though (Lebanese).[/quote][/b]

If he is from a food-centric family, yes it is going to be a big deal. It is more than just not cooking it is that food is relatively unimportant to you. You will be judged and found wanting. Find a pasty- faced white boy whose Mother microwaved pot pies after a few gin and tonics, you’ll be happier. [/quote]

Lol no, this is not going to be a big deal.  I am middle eastern, food is important, my parents still send me food despite the fact that I love to cook traditional food and am good at it, but a lot of my friends don’t like cooking and their husbands have not left them over it yet.

People are people and allowed to have preferences.[/quote]

Also posters are completely glossing over the fact that, assuming the grandma is a good cook, OP will get to eat a bunch of delicious homemade cooking.[/quote]

A grown man should be able to provide meals for his children without his mommy. Who cares if it is cultural? So what he’s a Lebanese manchild then. [/quote]

Meh. I cook for my family of four every day of my life, but I still love my mom’s cooking, and she cooks for us frequently. Receiving meals from his mom for his kids does not mean he is incapable of cooking.[/quote]

Yes it does in this context and in the context of dating and being asked immediately if you can cook and tell your date your mom is providing meals for your kids it is safe to assume he is incapable. There is no reason to believe otherwise. [/quote]
