I hate my MIL’s cooking. We go over for dinner a couple times a month and I have to force myself to pretend to like it. I’ve seen the produce she uses and she freezes things for way longer than they’re supposed to be frozen so the taste is always off.
The thing is, she makes batches and batches of food and sends it home with us. She makes batches for me, my husband and 8 month old baby. My husband will eat it but he knows I’m not a big fan of her cooking. Half her batches go to waste and he’s always saying that she worked hard to make all of that and he doesn’t really want it to go to waste
I’ve definitely said stuff like “oh that’s way too much”, “we definitely can’t eat all of that” or “we probably don’t have room in the fridge” several times and so has my husband! Neither of us want to hurt her feelings. I’m not the best cook and I think she knows that so I I’m sure that’s why she does this but we don’t any of it.
Lately, I’ve just been throwing out little by little everyday until it’s all gone. Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful that she does it and I feel so bad but I don’t know how to tell her to stop.
TL;DR I hate my MIL’s cooking and throw out all her food.
NAH
Maybe just give it to your husband so he eats it all. Send it with him for lunches too.
You can eat what you like, and he can eat that. I would not trash it unless he also doesn’t like it. And let him be the one to deal with his mom and the good issue. You don’t have to.
