Why Are Husbands So Clueless With Their Comments?????
Decorating By jeffer01 Updated 28 Jul 2007 , 7:22am by lovely
My husband has no sense!!! He doesn't know when to keep his comments to himself and doesn't care if he hurts my feelings!! 
It is very silly, but it can really get on my nerves! I was fiddling with recipes yesterday and thought I would try the White Chocolate Raspberry creamer in some brownies....so I made some brownies and used the creamer for my liquid and threw in some coconut and white choc chips. They turned out very moist and decadent and you could taste the yummy WCR creamer.
Well, I packed up a bunch of them for my sister to take on a mission trip last night and told her about the new recipe, blahblahblah......then set out to make a red velvet cake and some cupcakes for a work lunch.
In comes the big man of the house and grabs a brownie, takes a bite, and spits it out....YES spits it out!!!! 
He starts complaining about the taste and how bad it is and why would I make this and who would eat such a thing!!!!! Then starts in on the cake flavor as a bad flavor!!! I wanted to hit him with the mixer!!!!
So, now I am worried that the mission group will hate the brownies too Why do I let DH get to me like that??????
Don't worry--
Maybe there was a flavor (or even a texture) in the brownies that your husband did not care for.
I just overlook what my DH says...at a wedding reception for a friend where I had made the 3-tier heart-shaped fondant-covered wedding cake. My DH said "That cake looks like it should be in a magazine."
I was a proud peacock until he finished it with "But if you get up close, you can see all the little mistakes." 
Needless to say, I got dinner out that night!
Sometimes the expectation affects the actual the actual taste. If he was expecting a regular 'ole plain brownie and ended up with a mouthful of unexpected flavors, it throw the brain out of whack! Have you ever taken a drink of a glass of what you thought was Coke and it was Dr. Pepper or iced tea instead? It shocks your taste buds.
Maybe if he had a warning that it was an new, experiemental flavor, the reaction wouldn't have been so bad.
However, husband's are like that .... open mouth before engaging brain. My favorite story on my hubby (and since he's a stand-up comedian, this story actually ended up on stage!):
I was watching a Victoria Secret commercial and commented "Oh, I'd love to have one of those!" and he said........
"Does Victoria Secret make stuff in your size?" 
Debi... he's still alive to tell that story?? Damn he's a lucky one.
But yes I agree w/Debi and no that's not her you see holding those puppet strings lol... I think if he had been expecting something different maybe he wouldn't have went nutzo for a second lol and lost his mind...
Wouldn't you rather that your husband spit it out then a potential client?
But yes - I do agree sometimes the way hubbies go about things doesn't always come across the right way!

Why cann't they just keep their mouth shut.
But thanks I was under the impression ,I was married to a special case.
My DH is my worst critic (next to me!). He makes me mad asking me if I'm going to fix this or that. I fiddle and fix cakes for so long that eventually I just have to decide not to look at it anymore, but then he comes in and starts pointing out flaws, it boils my blood!!!!
I just remind myself that he means well. He is probably regretting that last comment to you, and by the way, mine won't usually even eat my cakes - I've given up being insulted, just not a huge cake fan.
I can see how expecting a regular double chocolate brownie and getting one with raspberry and coconut inside would throw somebody off. haha. As long as you labeled the bag with the flavor for the group you gave them to, though, they'll be great!
Men aren't known for tact... mine is actually pretty supportive but even he will come through, when I'm using lemon, mint, or even vanilla extracts for painting with luster dust, and be like "Peeee-U! What stinks! Oh yeah...you're painting again..." For some reason he cannot stand the smell of the extracts and the fondant.... just the smell of all that together grosses him out for some reason. *shrugs* hey I'm just here to make the cake look like the customer asked for. haha.
Indy the V.S. comment was classic.... LOL!

My sister in law is currently comprising a book (for real, she plans on getting it published) "1001 F***ed Up Things to Do to Your Spouse or Significant Other". She's sadistic...but funny none the less. She does these little things to my brother, like leave his blue cheese dressing out all day and then put it back (he had one upset stomach). He's a type A alpha male and she's not the kind of wife to tollerate that, so she does sick little things like that to him, but nothing that will kill him. Then laughs secretly to herself. I'll make sure when she does finally get it out there to get you all a signed copy!
Your brownies sound delicious BTW!!!
So talking about husbands not thinking, here's a good story to make you all laugh. Last October, SIL, DB, and kiddo's went to Disney for Halloween (which is also SIL bday, so that could explain things about her a bit). So DB decides at last minute to dress up since the rest of the fam is. So she hops online for him to find a costume shop that carries plus sized costumes, sis he's a big boy, at least 2x maybe 3x. He gets his normal bullheaded self, puffs up, and declares that he'll find one. Heads out and returns a bit later with size large, white spandex space ghost costume. Yes, I said a LARGE, WHITE SPANDEX....
Do she asks him what he's gonna do with that and he declares that he's going to wear it to Disney tonight.... So he goes into the bathroom and gets dressed and comes out to ask for help tying the costume. At which time my SIL busts into hysterical laughter. She said the poor costume was stretched over his body so tightly that you could see the outlines of EVERYTHING!!! That even all of his "body hair" was poking through. He questioned "what, there will be other dad's out there like this...." To which she replied, "Um not LIke THAT there won't be!" He turns around for her to tie it and the back of the costume won't even close up. The strings to tie it won't even touch "to be sodered"!!! So he says, "well you won't be able to tell with the cape on!" Still not realizing how bad the front looks. Well needless to say, she wouldn't let him wear it out. Oh the scandal there would have been at the Magic Kindom that day.
Point of this all....Don't worry about those opinions...obviously they don't realize just how rediculous they can be.....
My husband goes the other way. All he ever says is "oh, that's nice" Wether it's a 3 tier wedding cake or a cupcake his response is always the same. Makes me want to smash the cake in his face sometimes.
Debi, you only got dinner for that comment????
My husband must be the only one with a brain that works lol (no offense meant it as a joke) he loves my cakes, and helps with every single one of them. He's so proud of my Princess cake (first tiered cake I've done) that he has a pic of it on his cell phone and shows it to EVERYONE!!!!!!! we come in contact with and have a cake conversation with lmao. Everytime I'm trying to get new clients or talking about cakes with someone he whips out the celly and grabs the pic and shows it off lol. He says he's so proud of me and that cake because I didn't practice I did it all from memory becuase my screen saver came on and I couldn't see the pic anymore and I wouldn't let anyone come in the LR to move the mouse lol.... I did it all in 2 hours the night before the party and didn't have ANY disasters at all!!! with the entire thing except he let the lid of the box smoosh the border around the holes where the pilars were going lol but that was easily fixed on site since he brought the bag of icing, butter knife, huge meat knife and a spatula lmfao everything went great... but he hasn't gotten me any paid orders yet lmfao

Oh what a classic! I was already in bed one night, after cleaning off my makeup and doing my face cleaning (cleanser, toner, moisterizer.... you all know the routine). he comes upstairs, crinkles his nose up and takes an exaggerated BIG INHALE and asks, "What's that SMELL??? Were you using your face chemicals again?"
I got up, picked up my pillow and blanket, told him he ".....obviously wanted the bed for yourself, so there you are!" and I slept downstairs.
Dumba$$. 
I'm sorry your hubbie said something so foolish.
My husband likes to tell everyone how discreet I am when I'm breastfeeding WHILE I'm nursing or pumping. He points me out to strangers and tells people,
"We have to go. (MamaBerry) has to give our son the boob."

Mine too. After I've worked for 6 hours on a cake, I want more than "nice." I've given him specific instructions to GUSH, darnit!
In answer to the topic question...because they're men. Well known for chronic foot in mouth disease.
Your brownies sound fantastic...if he doesn't like them, feel free to send them my way!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You guys are cracking me up! My husband just walked in the room to see what I was laughing at.
Thanks for that comic relief. I have trained my husband well about thinking before he speaks so nowadays he keeps his mouth shut. However, it wasn't always that way.....
pft here's one for the books. we were in the hardware store yesterday and i coudln't find the husband (shocker) lol so i kept looking for him. i knew the room behind the counter was for office right? had been for years anyways.. so after about ten minutes and getting looks from the cashier like what an idiot- i said for the 3rd time i was looking for my husband.. and from the backroom came a comment i'd normaly take as funny as hubby intended it but it was the way the counter help snidely repeated it IN FRONT OF ME- "did you hear that- what he said- the husband- "don't tell her- she may find me" ok i know hubby's a joker but these two yahoo's really made it embarassing for me. i told hubby who just scoffed like i was making a big deal so i left and went to the car. he still didnt understand why i was embarassed and why it bothered me- never once tried to offer comfort or anything that one does when their other half's been upset.
sorry normally i'd have funny comments to post too but this one was still fresh in the pan lol
I have to give my experience with this subject! As far as spitting the brownies, cake etc. my husband is the World champion. I love baking and trying new things, but my DH only wants one (yes, 1!) cake over and over again. Don't get me wrong, it's the ultimate chocolate cake, but still, not everything else can be that bad, right? The latest "cake spit" was when I made some cake balls...about two weeks ago. I took the rest of them to work with me (since I do not want my kids constantly eating sweets) and my co-workers were fighting each other over them, so husbands' opinions on our baking must not be correct! Do not worry about the brownies, I am sure they were delicious! 
My husband....well he means well but he can look at the frosting left over squirted out on a paper plate and say " You are doing so good baby! That is so cool" the sad part is he is serious!!!
Aww now I think that's sweet.
I think it's like indebi said, a taste expectation thing. My partner rand me from work and asked me what cup of soup did he have that day. I tpld him it was potato and bacon, I asked why and he said it is ok, he thought it was potato but the didn't know the bacon was n it and he thought it was off because of the different smell and he was ready to throw it out. Glad he rang first instead of throwing it. I guess some guys just don't think outside the square, You know when they look for the keys on the table and they have a MAN LOOK instead of a PROPER LOOK.
