He doesn’t eat my baking!!!

Workinghardeveryday · 19/08/2019 22:42

Ok, so I am new on here 😁. I am so angry!!! I really enjoy baking when I have time between cleaning washing working and looking after twins plus one. Don’t want to blow my own trumpet but I don’t think I am bad at it!! Friends love it and kids etc. He knows I have made an effort but doesn’t eat it. Eats sweets and cookies from shop. Really hurts my feelings. I don’t say anything just sit there feeling well hurt. It’s just rude!!! Am I being out of order?!!

Depends who it is - husband - id be upset too. Dave from number 42 - just leave him to his shop bought stuff 😉

Ohyesiam · 19/08/2019 22:46

Who is he?
Have you asked him why he doesn’t?
What was his response?

If I 100% honest I do find that people thing their baking is a lot better than it actually is (sorry)

So many times women at work have banged on about how good their cakes are or so and so down the corridor. Then they bring them in and we have to have awkward cake time where I lie and say how nice they are.

Maybe he just doesn’t like it?

Ha, we have that too rapid!

I've successfully circumvented the issue by claiming not to really eat sweet stuff - it's not an out and out lie as I do prefer savoury, but my colleagues now live under the delusion that I am some sort of puritan. If I ever bring cake / chocolate for my lunch I have to ensure I eat it while walking round the grounds Grin

My partner just said 'enough is enough ' his trouser button came flying off at work. Are they concerned about there weight?

kjhkj · 19/08/2019 23:06

If its your DH then thats a bit odd but if its friends/colleagues etc then I think its quite common. I find it really difficult to eat home baked stuff even if the DC have made it at school for example. I don't know why. I think its over the years people talking about low standards of hygiene in kitchens.

Lol no concerned about his weight 😂. Totally know what you mean rapidmama but honestly it’s nice!!! He just doesn’t think and I know it’s silly, so many things to be upset about in life, but it really does bug me and hurts!! I wouldn’t dream of doing that to him if he ever cooked/baked!!! Thanks everyone 😘

I hate cake. Most of my friends know this but if one of them didn't I'd try and eat it and be polite. Maybe that's what your friends are doing?

Just don't bake him any cakes whoever he is

He doesn't like your cake! You can say it's nice, he's not keen. And that's ok Smile

kjhkj · 19/08/2019 23:07

OK well if its your son then I would assume you're not actually as good at baking as you think you are.

BrokenWing · 19/08/2019 23:08

Maybe he just doesnt like what you baked. I am not keen on carrot cake, but love a tea loaf or lemon drizzle, dh hates both of these (so more for me!!)

Have you asked him what kind of baking he likes?

ShhhBeQuiet · 19/08/2019 23:11

My husband and one of my adult sons don’t like cake or biscuits. I presume if your son doesn’t eat you cake it’s because he doesn’t like it. I think that’s ok.

"Queen Thistle is baking cakes! Sound the alarm!"

I made brownies and lemon drizzle, he loves both, kids love it, twins helped me make it. I know he likes it, just doesn’t ‘think’. I should just get over it after all these years but omg!! In between housework, washing, ironing, doc visits, shopping, juggling school holidays- you know story... he could have a stupid bite?!!! ☹️

kjhkj · 19/08/2019 23:14

How old is he. He won't be thinking about your feelings at all in all likelihood unless he's an older teen. He just doesn't want any.

Honestly I think you need to chill. This isn't the sort of thing to get "so angry" about.

It’s hubby. I know your right, shouldn’t get upset about it. Just told him, he’s in a mood !! Didn’t have a go or anything just said it hurts my feelings. Maybe I will just give up baking!! X

Does he eat what you cook at all? My ocd mum don't eat any food cooked by her family.

You're looking at this all the wrong way...
Sharing = less rations for you = undesirable situation Grin

I made a batch of coconut tablet fudge yesterday and was really looking forward to eating it (and when I say eating it I naturally mean ALL FOR ME!!!) but had to go and help a friend with a mini crisis.

When I got back my monstrous family had eaten it all Angry Angry Angry

kjhkj · 20/08/2019 07:47

ah ok you said DS which is the abbreviation for your son. Husband is DH.

He doesn't want it. That's not a bad thing.

Thanks everyone. I decided I won’t bother baking for him just the kids, and won’t get myself so upset about it all - thanks for helping 😊x
