idun Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I saw an article on the web saying that one in four men prefer their mother's cooking.When I lived France I often heard about Maman's cooking, which I must say that most of the daughter in laws seemed to take in their stride. But isn't it something that is a bit like russian roulette, daring to criticise the person who is feeding you? And I have a friend in England who has to put up with such comments, I wouldn't put up with the comments or him.I do hope that my kids don't ever say that they prefer my cooking. Would you dare to? And if so, why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 If anybody ever expected me to feed them they'd be out of the door sharpish! Isn't this a bit 19th century? Don't the men do at least 50% of the cooking and if not, why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Roy Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 My husband doesn't do any cooking Coops; but then I don't do plasterboard jointing, rubbing down, plumbing, laying electrics or cutting wood for the fire! Our three sons, on the other hand, are all better cooks than their girlfriends - because I made sure of it [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idun Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 I usually cook. I like cooking. It isn't as if my husband or son's cannot cook, all of them can and do. I believe a household works if both are happy with their jobs in that household and there is no bitterness about these things. We distribute jobs as suits us. I don't care what 'century' any of it is. Contentment is not about how others view us, but personal comfort and I am comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
