During lockdown my partner took on full responsibility for feeding and parenting our kids.
He doesn’t eat or touch any form of fruit or vegetables at all ever.
Because of this, during lockdown and since, he hasn’t cooked or served our kids any of these.
Now, kids too won’t touch most.
Except for a very few.
Whenever I cook now, I ALWAYS cook those few that they will eat.
But he has this smug smirk EVERY single time the kids push them around the plate and leave them.
like he has won some kind of parenting contest.
We have had discussions about this, he is an intelligent bloke, a fantastic dad in every other respect, and I do mean fantastic. He is a much better parent than I am.
It’s bad enough that they don’t eat anything I make because it resembles healthy eating. If it’s beige, processed and crap, they all eat it.
Tonight it has pissed me off.
