Well, it's certainly not a nightly thing, as he maybe cooks twice a month, and I cook the rest of the nights.

And I'm not a jerk about it. I eat it and say thank you. HE acts like a jerk when the kids won't try this heavy, condensed, nasty food.


And I'm sure mommy supports them in their tantrums and gives them whatever they whine for.


Holy shit, have you ever actually eaten creamed chipped beef????? I know no three-year-old who would eat that!

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.


Your life must be pretty sweet if this is the best you can come up with to bitch about. Not "thread worthy", IMO.

Early in our marriage, I made a dish using canned cream soup. Dh took a picture and sent it to his brother. Apparently their mother cooked like that often and it wasn't a fond memory. Last time I tried a recipe like that!

Creamed chipped beef is AWESOME. I don't see the problem here.

The instinct is understandable. But then he is choosing to ignore the lived experience, repeated, of the kids hating it. EVERY time!

I ate spam and mac and cheese as a kid but that doesn't mean I make that now.

Ha, my husband makes "SOS" but he doesn't expect the rest of us to eat it, thankfully.
