Giving positive feedback to those close to us is hard because it might not be received the way we intend it to be.

In the video captioned "Proof that men don’t want any drama in their life 😂😂😂" the <a href="https://www.pulse.ug/lifestyle/beauty-health/how-often-should-men-wash-their-boxers/jlyc3dn">father and son duo</a> is watching football clad in their casual clothes and sports jerseys. They are unaware that in a few seconds, they are going to be teaming up against a dangerously salted stew courtesy of the woman of the house.

The woman, who is also recording, dips a spoon full of salt into the stew and <a href="https://www.pulse.ug/lifestyle/beauty-health/5-best-simple-lunch-ideas-to-surprise-him-at-work/8734trs">takes it for the husband</a> to taste her "new recipe." A few moments later the salt must register because he slows his chewing and rushes to chase the taste with his canned drink.

The son is <a href="https://www.pulse.ug/lifestyle/beauty-health/how-to-start-liking-vegetables-if-you-disliked-them-growing-up/qrshv4z">treated to the same fate</a> and, just like the father, he takes it quietly before reaching for his popcorn bowl. The two share subtle looks and communicate via body language to get through the entire ordeal.

The husband goes on to advise the wife to add more "meat and sauce". The poor man must have had a brain freeze from the salt.

Luckily, for them, it was a prank and the stew was fine.&nbsp;

<h3>They got themselves some cheer in the comments</h3>

Eddy “Precise” Lamarre@Precise_Chi: "Makes me wonder how she genuinely responds to feedback in a situation that is not a prank."

Koyè the Reaper 😈👹♑️@WhosKoye: "Clear proof Black men are great men."

Gaming Scientist@GamexScientist: "Man looking at the son like good looking for holding it back!🤣🤣"

Lazce@Lazce: "The father and son had <a href="https://twitter.com/justkoolie/status/1648062534014980102?s=20">a whole conversation without saying any word</a>"

Majick@Majick666: "Nope, this is why my girl will never be the only cook in house cuz I’m not bout to tell someone their cooking is good just cuz. I’ll make my own damn dinners for life rather than this nonsense lol. Food too serious to not be honest."

<h3>How to give positive feedback&nbsp;</h3>

It is not good or healthy to "keep the peace" when it comes to certain matters. But good or healthy is not always wise so take our advice with a grain of salt when talking to your woman about her cooking.&nbsp;

Most of the time keeping the peace comes not knowing how to give feedback.

For example, you may want to say "<a href="https://www.pulse.ug/lifestyle/beauty-health/10-common-foods-you-should-avoid-when-youre-hungry/syl8y1l">This food sucks</a>" or make a disgusted face in the heat of the moment. While that is a pure reflex, it will not be well-received.&nbsp;

So if you are going to criticise, <a href="https://www.pulse.ug/lifestyle/beauty-health/dos-and-donts-when-a-friend-is-feeling-down/g8wtm40">do it gently and in a positive manner</a>. They will understand what you mean but will be open to change.

Here's an example

“I really love this dish when you use a little less salt, the flavour of the vegetables and the spices come through.”

You can also take the initiative to cook once in a while or prepare meals together.&nbsp;

Be specific when giving feedback instead of criticising their whole cooking as a skill.
