Good question Hithere, stubbornness??

Why do you keep putting yourself in situations you are set to fail?

Well it's her loss Nana. As long as you don't use ingredients she doesn't like for example garlic in lasagne, I'd cook whatever I fancy so at least I'm enjoying the food even if she isn't.

Thank you all for your kind advice, it makes me feel that I'm not getting bitter.
Anyway she comes twice weekly for dinner.
Yesterday I cooked roast turkey leg,her favourite, potatoes, cabbage and broccoli. She won't eat, carrots,peas,beans. Anyway, she cleared her own plate away thinking I wouldn't notice most of it was left.
I feel really cross as I also looked after my granddaughter, and cleared up afterwards as husband had been at work.
I feel that next week I'll give her burgers and jacket potato. Sure its not her favourite but since most goes in the bin won't matter. Less washing up too.
Last week I cooked slow cook lasagne, no garlic as she doesn't eat garlic. Again in the bin.
Just wondering how anyone else would feel.
Thanks for reading
