He Told His Girlfriend That The Reason Why Their Kids Hate Her Cooking Is Because She “Lacks Attention To Detail,” Doesn’t Season Food Properly, And Overcooks Everything
This man and his girlfriend currently have kids together, and he works full-time; meanwhile, his girlfriend stays at home.
So, when it comes to meals, he only really cooks once or twice a week, and his girlfriend covers the rest. Yet, their children much prefer his cooking over his girlfriend’s.
“The kids really enjoy my cooking and are always happy when it’s my turn to cook,” he explained.
“They always finish their meals and say how good it was.”
But, whenever his girlfriend takes over for mealtime, their kids always “grumble” and claim that the food is awful.
This obviously makes his girlfriend really upset, too, because she always spends time cooking. Plus, the kids’ comments just make her feel unappreciated.
According to him, neither of them was actually ever taught how to cook. However, he’s taken the initiative and tried to better his cooking on his own.
“I have spent time learning some basics of how to cook and prepare meat, how to properly season food, and how to make basic pan sauces, as well as trying to master a handful of simple dishes,” he explained.
So, when he was talking to his girlfriend the other night, he decided to share his two cents on why the kids really don’t like her cooking.

More specifically, he told her that she lacked attention to detail and claimed that was the reason why their children preferred his meals.
He thinks that his girlfriend never seasons any food properly (if she even uses any seasoning at all), and she tends to overcook things very often. That’s why her food usually turns out dry and bland.
“Also, there’s a lack of effort for little things like serving food on warm plates, carving meat too thick, or not cutting it against the grain,” he added.
Well, after he shared his opinion, his girlfriend immediately got upset and accused him of not enjoying her food, either. On top of that, she claimed that if he really felt that way, then he should just start cooking every meal from now on.
“In my opinion, I was just providing her with honest feedback so she could solve a problem that was upsetting her,” he vented.
But now, with his girlfriend so angry at him, he’s been left wondering if admitting the real reason why their kids don’t like her cooking was really a jerky move.
Can you understand why his girlfriend got offended? Even so, does it sound like he was genuinely trying to help her? How can he reconcile this situation?
