Then the inlaws call and ask if I'm making Sunday dinner, then the wife tells me she has a potluck on Monday and doesn't know what to make....LEAVE ME THE FRICK ALONE! I JUST WANT TO EAT MY FRUIT LOOPS AND WATCH CARTOONS!!!! :|

That is all. Sorry, had to vent.

I feel your pain, brother.

If you never force them to fend for themselves, they never will. Just occupy yourself with something else once in a while so they have to learn to cook.

You don't have kids, do you. Here is what happens when you tell kids no:

"No."
"Pleease?"
"No."
"Pleeease?"
"No."
"Pleeeease?"
"No."
"Pleeeeease?"
"No."
"Pleeeeeease?"
"No."
"Pleeeeeeease?"
"No."
"Pleeeeeeeease?"
"No."
"Pleeeeeeeeease?"
"No."
"Pleeeeeeeeeease?"
"No."
"Pleeeeeeeeeeease?"
"No."
"Pleeeeeeeeeeeease?"
"No."
"Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease?"
"No."
"Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease?"
"No."
"Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease?"
"No."
"Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease?"
"OH ALRIGHT ALREADY FOR CRIPES SAKE!!!!!"
