My DP and DS (4) and DD (18 months) refuse to eat anything. Every single dinner time it's 'I don't like this' It's too hot' 'It's too brown' 'It's spicy horse it's gross'. Tonight my DP said 'I'm not eating that it tastes like fairy liquid!'.

Well...

ALL OF YOU CAN FUCK OFF THEN!!!!

It's so fucking rude and ungrateful. Why do I fucking bother slaving away making them home cooked nice food.

Fuck them. Would it be unreasonable to give all 3 of them spaghetti hoops on toast for the foreseeable future?

I told DP this and he said that would suit him fine..

Cunt lips!!!!

I would just not cook for them, your dp can do the cooking.

divingoffthebalcony · 12/08/2014 17:37

I'm lolling at "cunt lips"

Your DP is extremely rude. Fussy children are basically to be expected.

What was the dish that tasted like washing up liquid?

5madthings · 12/08/2014 17:37

And the madthings do not say rude stuff about the dinner they are served!

But yours are little and learning and it doesn't sound like their father is setting a very good example.

WarblingOyster · 12/08/2014 17:38

You should. For the next week, give them hoops on toast for every meal and have something nice for yourself. How do ya like them hoops!!

bloodyteenagers · 12/08/2014 17:38

If your food is that shit them he can cook every meal. And yes cook, no heat up stuff, not chuck in frozen food every day. But cook healthy meals daily.

ilovesooty · 12/08/2014 17:40

Tell him he can do the family cooking.

amyhamster · 12/08/2014 17:40

Your dp is a twat
A four year old & 18 month old not so much

RoseTheHat · 12/08/2014 17:41

I'd say your DP can cook his own meals - the little ones, well spaghetti hoops on toast or similar won't kill them until they're over the fussy stage!

snice · 12/08/2014 17:43

Are you really crap at cooking though?

icanmakeyouicecream · 12/08/2014 17:43

He is a massive frothing gash twat. I am so gross!

It was a marinated chicken breast, nothing too weird. Some roast potatoes in small cubes, some kale and leeks. Once he announced it had a fairy liquid taste, everyone else of course piped up the same thing! Fuckers!

As for giving them hoops forever more - you know you shouldn't, but hell, it would make life a heck of a lot easier. How loud is the voice of your conscience? Could you drown it out with a bit of Radio 2?

icanmakeyouicecream · 12/08/2014 17:44

I cook for people a lot and have never had c

So did they eat it? Or did you make something else? Or did you do what I would have done and bin it and let the selfish miseries starve?

icanmakeyouicecream · 12/08/2014 17:45

Oh my god I am so gross I can barely type.

I am confident my food isn't shit. My DP is a shit though.

EvansOvalPiesYumYum · 12/08/2014 17:46

Children can expect to be fussy - they need to learn how not to be. Your partner, on the other hand, is another matter entirely and not setting the children a good example! Indeed, he is setting YOU up for failure for the future, no matter what you do.

If I were you, I would cook for you and your children to eat before your "D" P comes home. They will learn pretty quickly that they actually LIKE the food you give them. Then either dish "D" P up something else, or ........... he can make himself some baked beans on toast! Every Day!! Grin

HerRoyalNotness · 12/08/2014 17:46

YABU for serving leeks, that might explain the fairy liquid.

YANBU for going on a cooking strike! My DH eats anything, DS1 eats plain food, no sauce, no spice, nothing mixed, boiled potatoes never mashed. DS2 eats bugger all. All the cooking and slaving going to waste. Makes me sick.

icanmakeyouicecream · 12/08/2014 17:46

I do not ever offer alternatives. All in the bin. Baby has gone to bed and 4yr old is asking for a 'small snack' - how about no!

I am with Oyster - hoops for them for the rest of the week.

WorraLiberty · 12/08/2014 17:47

OMG he's very rude

It's one thing to not like something, but quite another to slag it off

And announcing it tasted like fairy liquid in front of the kids was just stupid

Fuck his spaghetti hoops, he can do them himself.

YouTheCat · 12/08/2014 17:47

I'd give the 4 year old a slice of toast and some milk and pack them off to bed too.

KittyandTeal · 12/08/2014 17:48

Aside from the cooking (and yes I would serve spaghetti hoops for a week) it's pretty shitty that your H is saying things like that in front of your kids. I know all kids go through fussy stages but surely his unwillingness and rudeness is just going to encourage the kids into thinking that it's acceptable.

Personally I'd have flipped if he'd said that to me. I would also refuse to cook anything for him again. Cook myself yummy meals and serve the kids whatever they'll eat.

TessTackle · 12/08/2014 17:48

Massive frothing gash twat

Hoops it is!

Canwepretend · 12/08/2014 17:49

Your DP is plain rude and his behaviour is rubbing off on your children. I would cook you and your children meals for the time being and make your DP a sandwich until he can be more appreciative.
