to want to give up cooking for good?

I'm fed up of my DH's (taking the 'dear' out of that!) comments all the time about my cooked dinners.
I always spend time cooking a proper meal. I was exhausted today as I had 2 toddlers in the house and friends around. I'm also 37 weeks pregnant and very tired.

So he comes home late as usual,sits down. I get his dinner and he turns his nose up and says 'what the hell is this?'

Other times he just turns his nose up and says he is not hungry or it doesnt look appetising. Basically I am fed up with his comments and don't know why the hell I bother.

I cook different things every day, I'm not Delia Smith but I don't consider it total crap either.

Redexpat - that made me laugh!! Grin

I am starting to ignore it now, I did use to change things and blame myself for not living up to standards but I think I have realised it probably really isn't me and he would be the same with anyone. Tortoise, I sometimes wonder, but it's a difficult to try and change much for myself at the moment with the children. Thanks for your replies :)

Yes cory, you have a point, it can get very wearing and yes it certainly has damaged the way I see him because I don't feel any respect there, I guess its hard to return something that isin't there iykwim? I'm trying hard to not let this knock me back because I think possibly thats what he wants and if I stand firm he will begin to stop doing it. TBH I don't think I have it in me to say some of things he does back to him, not because I am miss nice or miss perfect, but because I know how much it would hurt him and anyone else for that matter.
