If your spouse and child said they didn't feel like spaghetti after you made it, you'd never cook for them again? It's not like Barb spent all day cooking a roast or a turkey dinner with home made potato wedges, and home made macaroni salad with Bob and Chris saying "ew no".
This was likely her boiling noodles, frying some store bought meatballs up, and then combining the two and pouring store bought tomato sauce on it (if she didn't just microwave it "sketti" style). It would take her at most an hour. I can see it maybe being an argument for a week, but not something 10-20 years down the line. It was just a spaghetti dinner that Chris didn't feel like having (Maybe Bob and him just came back from Burger King or something). It's pretty safe to say Barb overreacted.
Edit: This wasn't made when he was grown either. Chris implied that this happened from the 90s, after he moved back to Ruckersville after high school. Chris would have been a teen.
As for the money thing, I'd be surprised if you're holding over 20k in credit card debt as well as a $115,000 mortgage after spending tens of thousands on lawyer's fees.
Cole/Chris is an interesting study on how genetics play a major role in personality. The Chandlers were all fairly successful people (Bob, Bob's kids), I sometimes wonder if Chris is even related to his father at all. Cole acts like a Weston, and so does Chris.
