...not to have made DH tea tonight?

[GingaNinja]

He's cooking now after a day at work then putting DD to bed. Bad Mummy.

EXCEPT. This is his first week back at work after being unemployed for months. While on the dole (since June last year) at no point did he EVER sort out tea for me and DD (I pick her up from creche on my way home) even though I didn't get in to the house till nearly 5pm and DD is demanding TEATIME TEATIME. DH would greet us at the door with 'What's for tea?'

Today I have been up from half 5 this morning (DD has bad cold plus bad dream - I think - so woke/restless v early); I work shifts at a factory so although I wasn't in paid work today I have done all the household stuff (cleaning, bills, laundry etc) as well as dealing with DD. He didn't get in from work till half 6, just before DD bathtime.

So should I feel guilty? Cos I'm afraid I really don't.....

Seems like you are trying to make a point which I expect will be missed. Why not discuss which nights you will each cook a meal and not make this into a big deal?

Hell No. I can't believe he didn't do anything while he was unemployed....and more to the point I can't believe you let him get away with doing nothing!!!!
Hope you have a glass of vino in your hand

You shouldn't feel guilty at all. He should have been making you dinner all that time.

I am working while DH stays home (he has been redundant for awhile) and he always has completely picked up looking after the home and children and I come home from work to dinner every night.

Congratulations to your DH on finding work though.

why are you making a point today ?

it seems like the horse bolted a long time ago...

YABU. I'm not saying that he shouldn't have cooked dinner whilst not at work but he clearly (for whatever reason) didn't think to.

He has just started a new job and if you wanted to sort this out then perhaps a conversation six months ago would have been a better idea.
