[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Weird that you are posting this here seemingly as validation that you are right.

This doesn’t sound like a man “lying,” it sounds like someone trying not to get dunked on by his own family. He burned dinner. That’s not a character flaw. When the response is a group stare-down and commentary from everyone at the table, people get defensive and dig in. The real issue isn’t the breadcrumbs, it’s a family dynamic where one mistake turns into a referendum on competence, and then a wife who races to DCUM. [/quote]

This part is fine, if somewhat annoying:  "He says it’s fine. He set a timer and didn’t check. He followed the instructions."

This part is lying: "And that it’s not burned."

It's one thing to explain that you'd followed the instructions and set a timer, and it's still edible. To actually deny it's burned when everyone sees it's burned and is scraping off burned parts is weird and unsettling.[/quote]

Because you are taking it too literally. he is not lying when he says “it’s not burned.” he is saying “I did my best and don’t want to get criticized. It’s still edible.”

OP needs to figure out how to solve the actual problem instead of getting hung up on how he responds verbally. [/quote]
