To be annoyed that DH has just spent £25 on dinner?

We’ve just had our usual Saturday night ‘what shall we have for dinner’ conversation. Me not wanting to cook because I cook every night because I’m home earlier than DH, and DC’s wanting takeaway fish and chip which costs £30 every time. We compromised on fish and chips from the Co-Op round the corner which I can just chuck in the oven.

DH said he’d nip out. He’s just come back from M&S having spent £25 on Gastro fish and chips. I’m sure they’ll taste lovely, but I’m annoyed that he’s spent £25 on 1 dinner. We haven’t really got £25 to spend on 1 dinner and if he was going to spend that, why didn’t he just get takeaway?

Slightly light hearted, but I am annoyed with him.

Yanbu to be annoyed but I think there needs to be a wider discussion around meals. Planning, buying for and cooking every meal in the house, for everyone, is a massive job. Massive.

That he isn't involved in this would only be realistically fair if he took over all the general housework and laundry.

What does he do to balance you cooking every meal?

I'm guessing he is cooking tonight?

£30 for fish and chips, how many people are you feeding?

What do you class as one dinner? One meal for 1 person ? Or one family meal ?
