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 & not a fan of the majority of veggies so I struggle finding recipes & 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
-
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.
-
@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 & 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
-
I feel super guilty. He's usually so hungry and although he eats it, I feel like it doesn't satisfy him.
-
I feel a little guilty about wasting food, but I have no problem going to pick up takeout if dinner is a bust.
-
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.
-
@junebugmama: I do the exact same thing! All night I keep apologizing & telling him thank you for eating it even though he didn't like it, I get ridiculous lol
-
I only feel bad when I flake out of dinner and we end up ordering pizza instead.
We've been trying to eat clean too, but thankfully dh isn't picky at all.
Buhahaha!
As I wrote this, I burned dinner!
-
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.
-
@JennyD: haha for some reason I always burn rice! I forget to turn it off while I'm prepping other things! lol
@IRunForFun: good point. My DH has never ever ever cooked dinner so regardless,'I guess I'm still the winner!
-
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.
-
I always feel so guilty and keep apologizing! DH is always kind about it, but I feel bad.
-
@Mrs. Sunshine: Sometimes and it's the worst feeling!
He works really hard at a physically demanding job so I know he's usually starving for dinner. He's been helping with shopping and cooking a lot more lately so I feel like it happens less now.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!
-
If it's edible, I'm not sorry. End of story.
-
I do! 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!
-
But I do keep a running list on our computer of stuff that we like in case I get stuck for ideas!!
-
Not guilty, but disappointed. I hate putting all of the work into something that turns into a flop.
-
I don't feel bad but I am usually apologetic about it.
-
@Mrs. Sunshine: I burned carrots. Like, c'mon! I have trouble with rice too, and quinoa.
He ate some of the carrots, but didn't finish them, I notice...
-
Right now I'm pregnant, so if I eff up dinner I usually respond by bursting into tears. Very rational response, I know. lol
-
@Leialou: same! I feel guilty about wasting food/money. Because sometimes it's so bad neither of us can really eat it. haha.
-
I feel bad when trying something new and it isn't good. I hate wasting all that food.
