"You hated veggies when you were a kid."
...sure, mom
Was the chili really that bad you had to hurt your mother's feelings about it? I feel you hated more than just her chili...
some parents cant take criticism lightly and need it shoved down their throats to get it passed their thick skulls
otherwise they'll just laugh it off and not change anything despite causing and denying a large sum of anxiety and ptsd-like symptoms throughout ones formative years. the parent might instead of helping you, ostracize you for being too "lazy" to go outside, yet when that one goes outside they get pissy and huge amounts anxiety.
but when one ask for comfort they say deal with it because everyone deals with going outside therefore you can suck it up.
or they tell you to do new stuff but whenever one makes a mistake one gets yelled at and then the parents wonder why the child doesnt want to do anything new.
or smth like that idk
... I'm in this story and I don't like it
Ahhh the Midwest classic of I don't need recipes I just throw impossibly small amounts of seasoning in despite there being literal pounds of vegetables and ground meat in it.
Don't forget to cook your venison through with only a little butter so you don't get sick! A fucking alligator couldn't bite through that shit.
My kids are the opposite. We can sauté up some fresh green beans and make them so good, but the kids only want to eat the canned ones.
Lol there's just something so fun about the canned ones when you're a kid I guess
My mom was a hippie and made her own bread and we always ate homemade food. When I went away to camp, I was the one pigging out on the sugary breakfast cereals like Froot Loops etc. while the other kids were busy being amazed by the eggs and pancakes and whatnot.
i used to be anti meat except ham and chickfila chicken (specifically), turns out my parents made super dry chicken...
i now eat 2x the meat to account for vegetarians and my lost time
