What I learned a long time ago was to make food for myself only. If my mother tells me she’s hungry and wants me to make her something to eat I tell her no. If she complains about how I don’t do the cooking I tell her there’s a reason for it. That reason being that no matter what I do, she nags to me about what I’ve done wrong or how she doesn’t like the favor or that I added too much or too little of something.
Seriously, if I make spaghetti which is so simple to make, she finds something to complain about. Half the time I start cooking and she comes into the kitchen and finds something wrong with what I’m doing and takes over. She goes into a rant, saying how that’s not how you stir it and goes on to explain to me the directions of how to make it.
Hello, I didn’t learn how to cook yesterday. I’ve been cooking since I was old enough to handle the stove on my own. Besides I was cooking for myself, making it how I like it. It’s annoying. It doesn’t stop there either. There are times when she calls me into the kitchen for help and assigns me a task, no matter what I do even if I follow her instructions perfectly she finds something wrong with it.
Then there are the moments where she acts like an idiot when it comes to cooking, just so that she can push it over to me to do. Woman, you know how to make flan. Hell, we’ll made flan two months ago. Why are you asking me how it’s done? If you forgot, there’s directions on the freaking box. The instructions are in three languages and one of them you understand. It’s not just when it comes to making flan but for whatever meal she’s too lazy to cook her self.
But if she complains about my way of doing it, I make it clear to her that if she doesn’t like it then she can take over and do it her way. That usually shuts her up because her laziness kicks in and she leaves the area before I change my mind and force her to do it. If that doesn’t work then I would gladly leave the kitchen to her and take that time to do something relaxing for myself.
