re my DH???

[star1976]

I was cooking home made Turkey in bread crumbs for dinner with homemade chips.

DH said that he didn't want chips and would sort himself out (very rarely do chips so he can't really complain and he NEVER ever goods so especially can't complain). I said fine, and he later asked if I wanted a take away curry but I said no thanks and had chips instead (no turkey as I'm a vegi).

Cooked my planned meal for the kids anyway and they loved it. Dog enjoyed husbands too.

Then DH went out and bought chicken and chips!!!!!!!!! WTF???? Why not just eat what I was cooking???? Am so bloody angry with him!

AIBU???

* Never cooks that should say, can't even type properly am so angry, lol

That is very annoying and strange !
no yanbu.

Never.

Oh I should read the OP shouldn't I?

Well...Ilike chippy chips better than home cooked ones! Maybe Dh is like me? I certainly don't think it's worth being angry about!

What a twat - so he didn't want your home made Turkey & Chips, but bought Chicken & Chips???

Did you ask him what his problem is??

Still, I'm guessing the dog is happy

YANBU that is very odd

So Shanahans - someone goes to the trouble of cooking for you, you say you don't want chips - then go out and buy them.

You might have a preference for chippy chips - but to the point of being that rude? I'd hope not.

Well...I reserve the right to change my mind! It was only bloody chips and turkey...the OP was cooking it anyway...not like it was a three course meal!

Whether she was cooking it or not, it was rude of him to turn his nose up then go out and buy an almost identical takeaway.

It's rude & ungrateful.

If I was her I'd stop bothering to cook for him at all if he's going to pick & choose what he eats whilst never bothering to do the family cooking himself.

YANBU - it was both rude and a waste of money.

wow. how rude of him. i take it you aren't on a tight budget then if he feels justified in turning down turkey and chips for ..er...pretty much the same thing?

It's not that bad...why's it rude? It would be rude if he asked her to cook it and then went out and bought a takeaway!

It's rude because she does all the family cooking... he comes in, takes a look at what she's cooking and sods off to buy almost the same thing from a takeaway. If he's not going to eat what she is cooking - I'd tell him to fuck off, do his own shopping and cooking.

presumably he knew she was cooking so had teh cahnce to tell her he didn't want dinner. letting her cook him a meal and then turning it down is rude. and to add insult to injury he then went and spent money on a pretty much identical meal. if he doesn't like OP's cooking he should have had the manners to decline before she cooked it. he didn't even taste it so he couldn't refuse on taste basis.

Just because she does all the cooking does not mean people have to bloody eat it! He didn't "let her cook a meal" she cooked a meal...he said hE wanted a curry...she said fine....he went to the shop and bought a similar meal to what she had cooked and THAT is what has annoyed her.

Not that he didn't want "her" meal...but that he bought basically what she cooked...which is fine imo...its what he wanted! Makes me laugh when married people think they can dictate so much toone another!

he should have told her before she cooked him teh meal that he wasn't going to eat it. it is common sense not tolet someone continue to cook a meal knowing you have no intention of eating it.

I wasn't 'cooking it anyway', had bought the stuff in FOR dinner, so if I hadn't carried on and done it for the kids anyway it would have gone to waste. Kids don't have anything else with it, for him I would have done something as a sauce or beans or something (beans probably as he likes really bland food, never eats anything particularly flavoursome).

No it was turkey schnitzels. If he had bought the curry that he first mentioned I would have been a little annoyed but fair enough, but to go and buy pretty much the same thing is what really pissed me off.

And he never ever ever ever cooks!!!!!! So how can he possibly complain about what I make!

It is rude because it is unappreciative of the effort she puts into cooking. A big deal imo.

and clearly, he didn't want her meal as he bought practically teh same thing. it was obviously her cooking and not the choice of food that was teh issue. how can you not see that?

OK, so she should just cook a meal for everyone, everynight, then when it's done they can all decide if they want it or not.... well fuck that for a game of soldiers. He can choose what to eat - he can choose to shop for himself, he can choose to cook for himself - and the kids - then she could just piss off to the local takeaway, carefree and buy what she wants.

We've been living together for 5 years and he has never mentioned a problem with my cooking before! So how is my cooking the issue???

ChippinIn - I like it

YANBU

Just don't cook for him in future.
