Hi All,
So I'm on a complete downer and never asked for a boost on her but I will try anything at the moment. I feel like a total and utter failure as a mum and a wife. I have been with my husband (manchild) for 11 years now and married for 6, I have two Lovely (evil) girls aged 3 & 4. and I am failing in all departments especially cooking...............
every meal I cook is either uncle bens, homepride, or erm hang on homepride or maybe dolmio if the husband is not home.
Every time I try and cook something from scratch it is a disaster, epic fails all round, i have NO confidence what so ever in the kitchen but I am so desperate to be able to cook from scratch, such as shepherds pie, chilli, spag bowl, some other lovely meal that i cant do from scratch.
I find recipes and get all excited and panic and pull out good old homepride. people say to me "oh i just chuck in a bit of this and a bit of that and hey presto" seriously it is not that easy (Sobbing)
My husband is always moaning that all i ever do is mince and chicken, well that's because that's all i know. i tried a pork and apple hotpot thing at the weekend, potatos on the top didn't cook and pork was a dry as a bone. (yes i sat upstairs sobbing eating a bar of galaxy whist pretending i was putting on a new pair of socks, One day someone will realise my stash of chocolate is in my sock draw and I'm not actually going to change my socks but eating chocolate so i dnt have to share Evil mummy)
Needless to say i feel so useless as i am a stay at home mum and the best thing i can do is clean, not cook, not look after my children, just clean. House is always spotless even with two young children and a manchild in the house.
Ive even thought about trying to find cooking lessons but no such luck there. So here i am, can some of you lovely parents help me!!!!!
