I don’t know anyone who’s like this. Well, except my MIL.

you don’t? go see how many life1 threads are about cooking. cleaning and whinning.

Don’t underestimate the power of good food. We all love our mum’s cooking and dinner time was always a sit down at the table family affair. We’d always much rather come home to eat than eat out. In contrast, my cousin’s (phupoos) kids hate their mum’s cooking. They did anything to avoid being home at meal times. There is no closeness in that family between parents and children and between siblings. Ok, it’s down to much more than that but meal times were and are definitely a bonding time in our family.

I think you answered you own question. Closeness in family is related to eating meals together as a family. Whether it’s pasta or murg masalam I think that doesn’t matter.

I have seen good food on the table, children sit in silence, got up not even put their plate in dishwasher and sink and on to their rooms. It’s not the food - it’s the environment.

At the end of the day, when he starts working it’s gonna be crazy for him and further in the future when we decide to have a family, I’m going to do that full time. It’s all about the bigger picture. What’s the point of me going psycho and telling him he should learn how to cook and cook for us now, since I’m the one out all day and bringing in the money? It’s only going to be for about a year that he would be able to do that anyway. And given how hard he’s studied the past few years and how hard he will have to work once he gets a job, I can give him that.

The point is that everyone should be able to help themselves. If you weren’t around, he wouldn’t strave would he?

In the future when you decide to have a family, you’ll have 10 million + plus 1 things to do for your children. Believe me you might thank me later - if he learns his way around in the kitchen now.
