Can’t you just learn to cook then? Seems like the simple solution to get food you enjoy eating

1st I think both of yall don’t understand what African cooking is cause it’s all elaborate. Even a simple pot of soup can take hours. Second this is a once a month thing and she’s excited as hell to make it telling me about the ingredients she’s gonna use. 3rd my parents are divorced now, 4th I always hype her up when she cooks this soup and compliment the flavors I’m just tired of having the same soup for the past yr. This is her vs of the ADHD hyper fixation meal and who am I to yuck her yum??

I could but then it becomes a chore instead of enjoying something. That’s why I haven’t learned despite being shown how since I was 8. Ex: whenever my mom cooks for my dad he complains about an ingredient or how a piece of chicken was cooked while he’s literally chewing on the bones. I couldn’t deal w that after I just spent 5hrs cooking or coming home after a week on campus just cause I have to work on the weekends and being expected to cook an elaborate meal

All that to say while your idea is really good and I’ve thought about it myself, the cons of learning genuinely outweigh eating the same thing for a yr straight

Why does it have to be elaborate? Can’t it just be a simple and easy meal? And wouldn’t it be helpful to address your dad’s behavior?

It sounds like your mom is struggling and spending a ton of time cooking and for the same reasons you don’t want to do it, she is having a really hard time and you are just more complaining about it rather than trying to help or improve anything. Maybe offer to help cook if she makes a different meal or talk to your dad about how he is talking to your mom to stand up for her or just check in with your mom to see how she is doing?

I just don’t wanna be told to cook whenever I have free time cause that’s all learning is gonna do for me make it another chore. Damn this is a confessions page and yall secretly plotting on me being rude to my mom cause im tired of the same soup. Saying she’s depressed and that’s why when this lady literally confides in me to tell me when she down. Hence why I don’t say anything about the soup cause why would I bring down something she likes💀
