I Can't Cook And My Mother In Law Is Against Me by Daniellagrace54(op): 2:11pm On Apr 06, 2020
I've been in this relationship for over a year now and this issue has been causing disagreement btw me and my fiancee...I lost my mom at a tender age and I live with my dad ever since...
Most times we buy food outside and he doesn't care since he hardly stay home..

When I finally got into higher institution... My roommate does the cooking and I didn't bother to learn...
My fiancee and I are planning to get married early next year ..he knows am not good at cooking but I promised him I will find a way to learn..
There was a day we went to visit his mum and I was just sitting there like a visitor even though it wasn't my first time of going there..
she told me she would like me to cook for her that day...

I got really nervous as I went to the kitchen... I didn't know what to do next ...so I decided to cook white rice with stew..
At the end the rice was over soft with water still inside it..
My mother in law came in and saw it .I was really ashamed... She took care of the rice and made the stew but only told me I can go without uttering another word to me... She was so cold towards me throughout and when we were about leaving she called my fiancee inside and I knew what it was about... He came out angry and told me we should get going...on our way he told me his mum said I was not good for him....

I was really devastated and he told me to learn instead...
The next day his mum called and told me she wanted to see me...
She gave me the insult of my life and told me her son wasn't meant for me....
I didn't tell my fiancee anything about it.
I called my roommate then in school and told her everything she agreed I can learn from her...
Am still learning but never getting it right ...its either the food is burnt,spicy and or overdone..
Am so fed up and have been making excuses not to go to my mother in law"s place whenever my fiancee bring it up....
Am fed up and don't know what else to do..

Pls advice thanks

Calm down and relax your mind. Don't overthink things. Continue to learn and practice how to cook regularly, on your own.
Ignore what she says, even though it hurts. When you begin to get it right, she is going to be the first person to notice and praise you, behind your back.

Just relax and learn it, it's not hard, with time you will cook well, assuming your mum started teaching you earlier, you would have been perfect by now.

It's well, she should have learn from her room mates in school, infact it was a friend of mine that taught me how to cook.

This looks like a fake story.
You don't know how to cook in an era of Google and YouTube undecided

The first time I made Afang soup was with YouTube.. I cannot come and kee myself, the soup came out well.
Re: I Can't Cook And My Mother In Law Is Against Me by Trizyd(m): 2:33pm On Apr 06, 2020
You can learn, it's not so hard. Learn the basics, don't be afraid to start small, try to master your favorite dish. You will make mistakes, buh be determined to learn from it. Finally my sister, which is the most important, food requires ATTENTION, you have to pay attention to it, even if you have to stay beside it till it's done.
Re: I Can't Cook And My Mother In Law Is Against Me by MrBrownJay1(m): 2:37pm On Apr 06, 2020
tell your BF everything that happened between you and his mum, especially the insults. BF knows you can cook and he is ok with it, stop worrying about other irrelevant BS...

First she's not your mother-in-law cos her son has not yet married you.

Second I support her decision and I say shame on your husband for even considering marrying a lady who cannot cook ordinary rice and stew

Third, your inability to cook is due to laziness and unwillingness to learn a d not necessarily cos you lost your mother at a young age!

Go to catering school and stop wasting precious time on social media!

Aww it’s not hard actually, your friend should be able to teach you.

Practicing it often would make it better also. Some mothers though, her attitude reeks of wickedness.

If you were her child would she treat you that way??

This life though embarassed knowing you lost your mom at an early stage.

To think I was watching a Nigerian film similar to this story yesterday..... I told my sister I don't believe a big girl like this will not know how to cook. Now I know better.


OP
Ordinary white rice you don't know how to cook?

Wetin you want come Sabi again?

So you need somebody to teach you how to cook white rice? Jeez! Your own grade of indomie generation is first grade. How can they start helping you when you don't even know jack?

Remember, you need another years of constant cooking to be an expert. Before you attain that expert status, you will disgrace your husband countless times cos each time his friends come to visit, they will just eat junk.

Do you even know how to boil water?
You don't know how to cook and you shared a room with someone who does for some years and you still didn't bother to learn? [/b] You deserve to be dumped I swear. [/b] Can you even cook indomie?

Sorry about your mum, but that's not an excuse not to have some culinary skills. Who taught you about your periods and how to control it? Cos I'm very sure it's not a man.

Go and meet all those small small girls in your family. They should be the ones you're learning from and with. If you look around and see that you're the only hanty among them, you'll get serious. You're learning from your mates that's why you're not serious cos you know your mates won't laugh at you.

This one weh be say de de teach you and you no de pick hmm. I as a man only need to see where a particular delicacy is being prepared. If I can see it just once or twice, I'm good to go.

Even Devil know say my future wife no fit use food form for me cos me sef I stand well for that aspect
Re: I Can't Cook And My Mother In Law Is Against Me by Lamanii22(f): 5:35pm On Apr 06, 2020
C'mon even djcuppy can cook... You don't have an excuse...


All through my younger years I never cooked, I started cooking when I was 20 or so... My mom never allowed me in the kitchen cause I was asthmatic... When she saw that common water I couldn't boil she became harsh on me ehn... Now I have grown to love it... I can even cook better than my sisters now(didn't mean to brag)... Cooking is just as simple, it's an art, a lovable one... Recipes from google would help too....
