To make spaghetti hoops on toast for the miserable guts for the rest of their miserable gitting life?

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!!!!

Leeks taste soapy to me (they also make me gag), that's all, maybe your DH tastes it the same way. He should just push them to the side of the plate though and not be a twat about it.

Our house rule was you had to at least eat three bites and then you didn't have to finish eating what you didn't like. But you also didn't get dessert if you didn't finish dinner.

I'd stop cooking for them. Let DH deal with the headache. Or, make your 4 year old help cook and plan, that way he's involved and has no excuse.

nope, I wasn't trying to be witty or original. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. It was a more polite way of saying fuck the fuck off.

WeirdCatLady · 12/08/2014 18:16

I would continue to make decent meals for you and the kids but tell dp he can cook for himself

NellysKnickers · 12/08/2014 18:18

Ican. I think I love you. Long day for me today, your thread has cheered me right up. Fuck the hoops! Just feed the ungrateful whingers toast. Dry toast.

WorraLiberty · 12/08/2014 18:18

I'm not one for too much swearing, but the OPs language on this thread has made me laugh Grin

Mind you, if you were a man calling your wife those names, you would have had your bollocks handed to you on a plate by a lot of posters!

CateBlanket · 12/08/2014 18:20

that's a relief. Something tells me it wouldn't be your forte.

Crusty cock smeg.

Frogisatwat · 12/08/2014 18:22

I can confirm that it is possible to live on spaghetti hoops and almost nothing else for years.... my brother was quite seriously ill for most of his childhood and ate nothing but frosties and spaghetti hoops. He is 6ft and has a very varied palate these days

WeirdCatLady · 12/08/2014 18:23

Buy him a lot of pot noodles? Or the value brand equivalents?

Trollsworth · 12/08/2014 18:26

Had you put coriander in it?

Some people have a genetic problem that means coriander tastes like soap to them.

sharon56bus · 12/08/2014 18:30

Well my Mum used to say
A:You will sit there until you eat it !!
B:There is nothing else
C:We would have killed for this during the War ..........

Give me strength.

Smelt? What the! SMEG! This iPad is making me look so wanky!

OP, first I'd like to congratulate you on your language.

Second, YANBU. Your DP is the real problem, IMO –the children are just following his lead.

Don't cook for him. He can cook for you all or you can cook for the DCs and yourself if he can't behave like an adult and be grateful.

EvansOvalPiesYumYum · 12/08/2014 18:37

He is teaching your children all the wrong lessons!
If they don't eat their main meal, then they don't get treats - including dippy biccies before bedtime.

I don't know how you have remained so calm, IceCream

Thebodyloveschocolateandwine · 12/08/2014 18:38

It's my first LTB.

Did you a gain your language skills after meeting dh op?

Can imagine why, Grin

blackteaplease · 12/08/2014 18:41

Your dp is definitely the problem. Biscuits? Having refused dinner? I would be going mental by now.

How long is he overseas for? Can you swing the dc seating habits while he is gone then refuse to cook for him when he returns.

partialderivative · 12/08/2014 18:42

Hoops with grated cheese and a little black pepper; hmnn.

Actually, I'm off for beans on toast myself. One of my favourite meals.

MrTumblesBavarianFanbase · 12/08/2014 18:43

Your DP is a massive problem here - showing huge disrespect to you by saying things like that AND pretty much deliberately, or at least uncaringly, setting up the DC with both significant food issues and a horrible lack of respect for their mother. Don't put up with it. Tell him it is not ok to comment, and eat with the Dc before he gets home if possible. He has less manners than a 3 year old.

NorksEnormous · 12/08/2014 18:46

Dp is the big problem here! Don't cock for him any more- sort yourself and the kids out and he can sort himself out!
