My parents are assholes who don't let me cook but also dont make dinner nor regularly stock the pantry with ready-made microwave meals and complain whenever they have to feed anyone but themselves.
My partner taught me how to make a steak flank. I made one in my parents' kitchen (I live with them) it was yummy and I was so proud of myself. I planned to do the dishes after I ate. My stepdad got home just as I was putting my plate in the sink. He said "what happened here?" I said I made a steak and would do the dishes and he said no. Then he complained "it's going to take me 45 minutes to clean the oil off this."
Next day he told me I'm not allowed to cook.
I asked "so if I don't want to go out to eat, what can I have for dinner" he said I could have a microwavable freezer meal. I checked the freezer. There was ice cream (I am lactose intolerant) and meals that were not microwavable. I ate a bowl of cereal because that doesnt involve the stove, with oat milk I bought for myself because my parents refuse to buy what I put on the family grocery list.
This morning I didn't want cereal because I ate it yesterday for dinner. I was going to make instant oatmeal but my mom ate it all and didnt tell anyone or buy more
I asked for permission to make pancakes. She said I could have her pancakes. Maybe once a weak she offers me food. She made those three/four days ago and has been coughing like a toddler all weak but gets mad if anybody avoids her/says anything. I politely said "no." She badgered me about wanting to make my own food. Then she complained about possibly having to share what she was going to have for breakfast.
A week ago, I told my Mom that my partner was coming over. She bought pizza and only told my stepdad. She didnt ask anybody what kind they want, and only bought two medium size pizzas for four people. Everybody in the house asked her about not buying enough pizza. She complained that she forgot my partner was coming over. That was so rude.
Also, a month ago she bought pizza and sent me an invoice for $20. So I said I would have helped pay if she asked and she said "I never ask you to pay for pizza."
I also work full time in a physically demanding field (because my parents didnt want to put me through college) so not having enough protien and calories can significantly affect me.
