He said the turkey was dry and ok for a beginner..I admit it was a little dry,(turkey is often dry no matter who cooks it) but then, as he ate the turkey I cooked he went on and on and on about what a great cook his aunt is. My parents are really p----ed off at him now. Thay said the dinner was great..I am 28 this is the first time I cooked Thanksgiving dinner.My BF spent the morning and afternoon with his son (things are not great between his son and I, details in my other questions if u are interested) then came home around 4 just as my parents and I were sitting down to eat.

You like him a lot? You should just dump his *** and hook up with me. I never ***** about free food! And I don't have any baggage.
So yes. He is wrong. He is wronger than two boys *******.
Your parents should have kicked his ***.
If you want me to, I will.

Debra, I have just gone thru all your questions about your boyfriend and his son, and all I can say is I would have gotten out of this situation a long time ago, long before the turkey thing.Your BF is wrong to expect you to put up with abuse from his kid because the kid has learning problems. He does not want to set limits, he just expects everyone to accommodate his son.The real world is not like that.
As for the turkey, if it was dry and he said so honestly that's fine,and yes turkey can be dry no matter what you do. Why throw his aunt's cooking in your face? How much older than you is his aunt? There are things that you are good at and his aunt is not good at.

Hi Debra, I'm Debra too. I read your other question about the son and I see how it corresponds with this question. Men are very protective of their children. He should be protective of you too but you are an adult. He was merely using this opportunity to stab at you. I don't think it was fair though. The boy is from a broken home and apparently has some issues. I'm afraid if you don't try and befriend the boy your boyfriend will continue insulting you so that he can put distance between the two of you. The picture you drew about the son is really childish too. If you dislike the son the father sees it as rejecting him too. The boy is half of him. His son was in his life first. If you can't get along with his son I'm afraid that if your man is a good dad, he's going to end your relationship in the future. Near future. I know this isn't what you wanted to hear. I'm just trying to give you advice that's going to help you move on to a better future, not advice that will help you continue to move down a path of a broken relationship.

Let's assume for argument's sake the turkey was just horrible. Now if he just didn't offer to say anything but was pressed for an opinion and said it was a little dry, that wouldn't be the worst sin in the world. However, it sounds like he went out of his way to embarrass you, with the snide comment "for a beginner" and the garbage about his aunt (like who frigging cares??). Oh yeah, and saying all this in front of your parents, little wonder they are pissed. Not cool at all on his part. Yes, he was totally wrong and criminally inconsiderate.

he is probably repeating what his father would say to his mother, and I see this pattern forming with his son as well. you can take 1 of 2 paths the first is do nothing and hope next years turkey will be "not dry" in which case his pattern will not change. the second path is to be a grown up talking to a bratty boy, let him know you are not happy with the "open comments" in front of company and any criticizm should be done with love and respect privately, let him know how his words hurt you. And when you get to be his aunts age, you will be able to cook as well as her, she didnt emerge from the womb with an apron on and neither did you.

There are countless consumer-friendly consumer-friendly strategies to do it. likely, your mom is "old formed" and cooking it to one hundred seventy or one hundred eighty tiers in the past she gets rid of it. you are able to Brine it, that works. you should use the bag. Get a great roaster with a lid. the main element is to baste it each 30 minutes (except you cook dinner it interior the bag... I on no account have, so i don't be attentive to in case you are able to baste it interior the bag). Take the turkey out while it reaches a hundred and sixty interior the thickest area of the thigh. The temp will proceed to upward thrust interior the turkey even once you're taking it out of the oven. enable is take a seat for roughly 20 minutes. could be stable to circulate...

hey this boy friend was a tad outa place if he was half the man ,he would have been helping you with the whole dinner. but instead I'm willing to bet he sat on his *** while you did all the work. any time there is a get together it tends to a little stressful because of the pressure to make "the perfect meal". so here is what you do,next time he has to plan and cook the dinner ,and you can be the critic .

I think it really wasn't bad that eh said the turkey was dry, but to go on and on about his aunt wasn't right. I would talk to him and let him know how you feel about it.
I'm not sure how old the son is but it will have to be something you will have to think about. If his son is older he par ably wont make it easy for you and your boy friend. He should of thought about you and come home early er.

he probably had a crappy day away and had to find something to gripe about. if your parents said that it was good never mind him. just hold out for a bit from him to get back for the continuous comments to get even. then go on with life as usual. nobody ever cooks a turkey that's not alittle bit dry. at least you put forth the effort to cook the meal for him and your folks. so congrats on the meal and keep your chin up.

No, that was not nice, that's for sure. B/F sounds like a numb-skull. He's got a lot to learn in the art of dealing with women.
But it is up to you to be the bigger person. Say, "Honey, when you compare my cooking to someone elses I feel like you don't like mine, is that the way you intended that to sound?" Get some dialog going and work this out now, before the resentment builds up beyond repair.
Good Luck.
Peace.

The guy is a jerk. How is he going to treat you after the newness has worn off?
You know what we all need? A partner who makes us feel good. Someone who always has your back. What we don't need is constant opposition or someone who is always working at cross purposes.
As long as everything was edible your twit boyfriend should have looked for something he could honestly compliment you on, especially in front of your parents.
