My grandma called my sourdough 'too much work' and it kinda stung

She was visiting last weekend and watched me do my whole feeding routine, then said 'you know wonderbread is 3 bucks and tastes just fine.' It hit different because she used to bake everything from scratch, but I guess she was telling me not to overcomplicate things for myself. Has anyone else gotten roasted by a family member about how much effort you put into baking?

Felt that, my own mom called my starter "a science experiment with extra steps

Take grandma's advice with a grain of salt - literally, since she probably forgot that sourdough doesn't need any store bought yeast. My uncle once told me my brioche looked like "a depressed loaf of bread shaped like a shoe" and then asked for seconds. Next time she brings up Wonderbread, remind her that your starter has a name and feelings.
