Asian mother insisted to cook daily

Question

just want to rant. My mom is staying with us, and she is typical asian who prefer home cook foods. i was like one and off we can have outside foord or dabao foods so that she can rest. whenever she eta dabao food, her face like charcoal or like i force her to eat poison like that. whenever we ordered outside food, she next day want to challege and cook it as if her cook is nicer. i mean maybe is a good intention and efforts or save money, but occasionally, we wanted to have some msg in life…. is your mom like that too? i feel abit irritated tbh.. #Frustrated

I’m the opposite, I have to Dabao food everyday 😂. Maybe can have lunch outside then ask her to cook dinner daily or request weekends lunch you guys eat outside food for lunch then her home cooked food for dinner? But if it’s my own mum, I would just tell her straight that today I feel like eating outside food. But in your situation, you’d probably be risking her “not cooking anymore” 😂
