DH and DS think I "don't cook"

[BrokenOven]

In two separate conversions over the last few days, DS and then DH independently claimed that I "don't cook."

I don't exactly recall the conversation with DS. But DH and I were discussing whether to replace or repair our broken oven, and he claimed we don't need a new oven "because it's not like you cook, anyway."

I do cook. For them. Every day.

When I pointed this out, he hemmed and hawed a bit and then said, "Well, you don't need a fancy new oven, because you don't bake things like nice cakes or a souffle."

No, I don't have time for that. But I do cook supper for them every day and lunches on the weekend.

Just a moan, really.

yes, definitely ask him what he's making for Christmas dinner, unless he does normally do it. if he acts surprised remind him you don't cook, so the ball is in his court.
and stop cooking for him until he apologises and admits that you DO cook.

Soufflés?? 😂😂😂

someone’s been watching too much Masterchef!!

as others have said, take a break from cooking and see how he deals with it.

Seriously? Do two things. a) stop cooking, b) order a new oven - it's your kitchen, they obviously never come into it so don't know what it needs.
I think they'll notice quite quickly when you stop cooking.

Your husband is being a complete tit.

So rude. Just stop cooking. For god’s sake stop cooking. STOP COOKING.

I know this isn't an option in reality because of your son, but DH needs to know how seriously rude he was. Please have serious words with him.

Blimey! I’ve never made a souffle’ in my life. Only once has someone else made me a souffle’. In a bloody Aga at that (which was just showing off).

Absolutely down tools for a bit, OP, and let them figure out how to ‘not cook’ on their own.

Stop cooking! As you don't cook anyway apparently and there will be less stress and more you time. I'd be getting them into thinking you don't vacuum or do washing as well. Happy days.

Yep, it must only be the dh’s decision on whether a new oven is required.

Your husband sounds awful. Who the hell does he think he is? And he's modelling that attitude to your son.

The oven you have suggested sounds a perfectly sensible choice. Pyrolytic cleaning is not expensive these days. Fitting a new inbuilt oven can be a bit annoying, is all.

blast zombie thread, sorry missed that
