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

[icanmakeyouicecream]

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!!!!

COOK!! Not cock

I hear what you are all saying and you are all right.

He's away for a week, usually it's longer but I am determined to crack this next week whilst he isn't here meddling.

He did just apologise for the fairy liquid comment. Damage is done though re the kids to be honest.

Nice typo norks! Although I agree

I will not be cocking for him anytime soon that's for sure!!!!

Nice typo norks! Although I agree don't cock for him either

Stop buying anything to snack on - it's either what you cook or fruit. I'd be tempted to freeze the bread to limit options to toast on that font!!

You could try egg variations on dry toast... Avoid the fart gas though, and don't light any matches.

I would serve DP hoops on toast until he apologised. And meant it.

Would make meals for the DC as they are just copying his example.

Have to say, I really don't understand him. If he, as an adult, chooses to be fussy, or eat unhealthily, that is his choice and look out. But he shouldn't be setting his children up to follow an unhealthy lifestyle. Or disrespect you when you are trying to do your best for them, which he is doing by feeding DS biscuits as a meal replacement.

The baby is pretty good, she'll eat most things. It's the boys I need to work on.

The boys won't eat eggs either .. Yawn.

The wine is OPEN.

Cheers! My bottle is open too!

I completely agree Leeds. Without giving too much away, this ridiculous behaviour towards food is such a far cry from the man he is day to day with his job. He's such a beef kebab.

Now I want spaghetti hoops on toast.

I would be incandescent. He is a disrespectful fucker. Bastard.

I do most of the cooking in our house. Generally it works out ok but I have disasters. DH has never complained about any of it. And that's as it should be.

I'm sorry you're having a shitty evening op, but bloody hell, you've cheered mine right up!

Let DH take over all cooking if he thinks he can do better-he's probably the reason your kids are getting faddy.
And neither cock or cook for him till he learns better manners!

Tell them that there are people starving in this world and they'd be grateful for the food. I'm very hungry. I'll send you my address, especially if you canmakemeicecream...

Dh has learned to sit at the table, make appropriate noises and push his food around - bloody fussy eater. He usually distracts the kids and swiftly removed his plate. Honestly it's like having another child at times

First time any of my children start on the "I don't like" moaning I just take the whole plate away and leave them sitting, jaw slightly agape, whilst I continue my meal. There is no pudding and definitely no tea and biscuits or snacks later. I sent them to bed hungry a few times. Didn't do them any harm. Now they eat whatever is put in front of them, if there is something they don't like they leave it on the plate with no fuss (DS is a mushroom-picker-outer)
If I make something new I will normally ask DH later if he enjoyed it and if he thinks I should make it again or not, I hope he would never be so rude or undermining to say he didn't like something in front of the children. I do ask them what foods they like and discuss what we have during the course of a week with them, but once I've shopped for it, cooked it and served it they had better not start whinging!

Thanks for your input everyone. I am now calm!

Wow how rude is your DP! Suggest he does the cooking if he hates yours so much.

Le them starve then!! Sounds delicious to me if that's any consolation

As my old Gran used to say "hunger is nature's greatest larder.'

It doesn't matter what I make - dh wolfs it down and then compliments me. Every meal I make. It's about gratitude.

My Dad forbade us from playing with our food as children as there were so many starving people in the world. My siblings and I have a healthy respect for food.

I would lose all respect for someone like your dp I'm afraid.

I haven't anything to say really other than - what does 'he's such a beef kebab' mean, or is it another iPadism?!

I love it. It's brilliantly random.

Beef kebab is an old running phrase between my best friend and I ... Basically big massive long fanny lips

I feel your pain.

As someone who has a DH with genuine food issues , I thank God that I didn't meet him until after my children were old enough not to be affected by it.
