Very rational response, I know. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-guilty-when-dinner-is-a-bust#post-1468073 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 20:49:01 +0000 JennyD 1468073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: I burned carrots. Like, c'mon! I have trouble with rice too, and quinoa. </p> <p>He ate some of the carrots, but didn't finish them, I notice... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-guilty-when-dinner-is-a-bust#post-1468070 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 20:47:11 +0000 MrsH 1468070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't feel bad but I am usually apologetic about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-guilty-when-dinner-is-a-bust#post-1468032 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 20:36:33 +0000 mrs. 64 1468032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not guilty, but disappointed.

It's silly but I get so disappointed if things don't turn out well...even though DH is always kind and eats it anyway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-guilty-when-dinner-is-a-bust#post-1468000 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 20:20:19 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1468000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it's edible, I'm not sorry.

He's been helping with shopping and cooking a lot more lately so I feel like it happens less now.</p> <p>Also, I'm TOTALLY with you on the part about forgetting what I like. I'm always trying new recipes and forget past stuff we've liked all the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-guilty-when-dinner-is-a-bust#post-1467951 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 20:00:10 +0000 Crystal 1467951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always feel so guilty and keep apologizing! DH is always kind about it, but I feel bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-guilty-when-dinner-is-a-bust#post-1467931 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 19:54:06 +0000 Mae 1467931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eh, not too bad if it doesn't happen like 3 days in a row. I'm usually like ummmmmmmm this got a bit… done. sorry. lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-guilty-when-dinner-is-a-bust#post-1467909 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 19:47:13 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1467909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyD: haha for some reason I always burn rice! I forget to turn it off while I'm prepping other things! lol</p> <p>@IRunForFun: good point. My DH has never ever ever cooked dinner so regardless,'I guess I'm still the winner! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-guilty-when-dinner-is-a-bust#post-1467905 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 19:45:20 +0000 IRunForFun 1467905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH has far more dinner fails than I do, so I try not to feel toooo guilty about it. LOL. I'll apologize if it sucks, but he'll eat pretty much anything anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-guilty-when-dinner-is-a-bust#post-1467901 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 19:44:00 +0000 JennyD 1467901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only feel bad when I flake out of dinner and we end up ordering pizza instead. </p> <p>We've been trying to eat clean too, but thankfully dh isn't picky at all. </p> <p>Buhahaha!</p> <p>As I wrote this, I burned dinner! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-guilty-when-dinner-is-a-bust#post-1467889 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 19:40:58 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1467889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@junebugmama: I do the exact same thing! All night I keep apologizing &amp; telling him thank you for eating it even though he didn't like it, I get ridiculous lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-guilty-when-dinner-is-a-bust#post-1467885 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 19:39:30 +0000 junebugmama 1467885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do feel bad, and continuously apologize and ask for reassurance. I hate that! He's doing a diet right now (doing awesome I might add!) and so I'm really trying to create delicious things while still following his meal plan. I'm so used to succeeding that when I can tell he doesn't love something I feel terrible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-guilty-when-dinner-is-a-bust#post-1467883 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 19:37:58 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1467883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel a little guilty about wasting food, but I have no problem going to pick up takeout if dinner is a bust. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-guilty-when-dinner-is-a-bust#post-1467882 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 19:37:53 +0000 Ash 1467882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel super guilty. He's usually so hungry and although he eats it, I feel like it doesn't satisfy him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-guilty-when-dinner-is-a-bust#post-1467880 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 19:36:29 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1467880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stine_ciro: my DH usually eats it as well but there are so many things he hasn't tried so we don't know if he likes it or not &amp; other times he doesn't even notice when something he claims he doesn't like is in a meal so I'm always confused as to what would be yummy to him because I like nearly everything! lol we definitely have more good meals that not so good ones but I still feel bad about it every time </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-guilty-when-dinner-is-a-bust#post-1467873 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 19:34:07 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1467873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really, but DH always eats it anyway. I just try to avoid the stuff i know he doesn't like, like olives and artichoke hearts. I think the good stuff evens out the bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-guilty-when-dinner-is-a-bust#post-1467859 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 19:29:06 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1467859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always feel bad for DH when dinner only comes out so/so. I've been eating clean for over two months so all the dinners I cook are clean as well. 85% of them are delicious but DH is extremely picky &amp; not a fan of the majority of veggies so I struggle finding recipes &amp; keeping variety. (Maybe I try too much variety, I often forget what meals we like because I try to keep it changed up). For some reason I always feel guilty when dinner just doesn't hit the spot, even when it's not my fault! lol </p>
