DH is now cooking dinner 4 days a week - sometimes more. He finishes work early, does the school run and then cooks dinner. Which is great. Or it would be if he could cook. Now I know I shouldn't be ungrateful etc etc, but some of it is gopping! He seems to think that chucking some minced beef in a pan, with some garlic and chopped onions and a tin of tomatoes with minimal stirring for 20 mins makes a bolognaise. It doesn't . He is also using loads of bits out of the freezer that I've bought for several meals and bunging them all in one pan, and then ruining them (ie chicken breasts with an aubergine that I'd bought for mousakka. So it's getting expensive too.
At least I'll lose weight .
Children aren't happy either but they won't tell him. They just whisper to me about it.
He won't accept advice. Even just trying to suggest a little salt or pepper might be nice. And if I am caught stirring anything he gets snotty with me.
Any ideas? His cooking skills haven't progressed beyond studenty fare. And he won't accept help. How to help him without prompting divorce. Please.
