I don't remember either of them recounted stories about their children
or spouses that left the rest of us with the impression that they were
total losers.

At home, not at home. What does it matter? The fact is most people
don't drag their children into every single post.

Well, if you do, try reheating them in a frying pan with olive oil and
some seasoning. They say you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's
ear, but I do think you can do a lot with leftovers, even left over
fishsticks if you are willing to try a few things.

Gotta say that reheating a slice of pizza in the cast iron pan was
somebody's stroke of genius. No reason why that technique wouldn't
work for other things too.

I rarely buy choclate but when I do it's always chili choc, my
favourite, made locally. I've tried wasabi choc but it didn't appeal.

Fishsticks suck no matter how served... should be ashamed to mention
fishsticks.

Neither one of them (husband or daughter) can be bothered figuring out
how to cook, much less reheat food.

What a bunch of crock!! This is just another fine example how the
bovine lies and exaggerates.

"It" uses _nearly every thread_ to mention its pitiable spouse and their
even more pitiable issue. There are just too many samples to cite in
RFC and other poor newsgroups subjected to its idiotic presence and
fabricated scenarios!

If you can lie about that then you'd lie about anything.

If he had any sense at all, he'll probably get takeaway and tell you
he worked back late.

Apparently he already ate. So... I'm just going to toss it all in the
fridge and if he wants to eat tomorrow, he can have that or the man pleasing
chicken. He can get them himself. Heated or not, I don't care.

Of course you don't care, what else can you say when your husband is

Ah, he was out with you then? And I don't have to worry about the fish
sticks. They are all gone. He said the cats did it.

I like the chili chocolate as long as it is good chocolate. I've
never tried wasabi chocolate but it doesn't sound right. I'm sure
there will be many different chocolate flavors to try in the next few
months. It seems they show up around the holiday season. I have to
stay away from those flat chocolates that are filled with caramel. .
..I can't stop. What I really don't care for is salted caramel. I
just don't see it.

I'm beginning to think you haven't looked up "manpleasing" in the
dictionary.

Yeah - sad thing is, its issue is hopeless to get anything worthwhile

The fact that I don't have kids doesn't have a thing to do with it. I
was able to cook for myself by the time I was 16. I could certainly do
more than scramble eggs or turn on the oven and heat up some frozen
french fries. Microwaves at that time weren't good for much more than
boiling water.

When my grandfather died my mom was out of town for a week. I was about
the same age as her daughter, nearly 16. I came home from school and
cooked dinner for my dad, my brother and myself. I managed to do my
homework, too. That was back in the day when no one had computers. All
the assignments were from *books* <gasp> and the homework was hand written.

Pure crap. I can think of numerous childless people whose lives were
devoted to the expert and loving raising, watching and responsibility
for other peoples children; as extended family, paid houseparents,
foster parents, teachers.

Very often those childless people were far better at every aspect of
raising kids, than the childrens' feckless, reckless and selfish natural
parents.

Bully for you for procreating! Bang away. All I know is I was fairly
equipped to be self sufficient by the time I was 16. I was expected to
be. Apparently nothing is expected of this child. Go ahead and cheer
her on for mollycoddling and doing every little thing for her.

Grandfather of 1 and still younger than the 55 year old pan JB threw out.
I would say being older than that pan make JB old, not young as claimed.
49 and cooking every day since grade school. My kitchen is my man cave

It's not ridiculous at all. Do you still wipe her butt too? Perhaps it's
time for Angela to scale back on all that "dancing" she does.

That's because we value their privacy.

How about the flip side? Parents who have their children taken away
because the children get no food and the inside of the home is covered
in animal feces and urine puddles plus drugs and guns. Kids taken
away because of child abuse, either physical or sexual? Expelling a
creature from your body doesn't make you any more knowledgeable after
the event than you were before. Personally, I think mother and
daughter sleeping in the same bedroom while the husband sleeps
elsewhere is odd.

Part time parenting is not the same as 24/7 for life.

Raising kids 24/7 (for life? You already don't understand about raising
kids!) often leads to burn out and "taking the easy way". A person with or
without kids who is fresh can see the situation differently and see that
sometimes things are not being done for the best, simply due to fatigue
factor. And, let's not forget - we were all kids at some point, so know how
kids think and some of the things that work and don't work.

"you don't have kids, so you can have no valid opinion" is pure rubbish.
