To not make DH dinner tonight?

[Boysclothes]

He's been decorating the spare room all day. Stopped for a couple of hours to take DS to a party with me. Gave me a lie in this morning. Is generally a diamond.

He stared decorating again after the party and we haven't eaten yet. I said I'd make fajitas but it's knocking on ten pm and my appetite has gone. Really don't want to start chopping onions and peppers now, or whenever he finishes. He said he'd shout down when he was twenty minutes from finishing so I could start cooking.

I'm stuck in to the wine now and have had some crisps. I'm done for the day really. WIBU to abandon fajita idea? He'll be disappointed.

Should also say the reason he's working this late into the night is so we can have a nice family day tomorrow.

Why aren't you helping him?

That way he could have finished quicker and you could have eaten by now.

Make it! You've got wine and he's still working, and it only takes 5 min. Do it now!

Nah, it is a bit late for fajitas or similar.

Maybe do some cheese on toast?

Enjoy your family day tomorrow!

Yes yabu, this is another ridiculous reverse isn't it.

Order a meal to deliver, too late to begin cooking now.

It's not a job for two. Wallpapering in a tiny bedroom. Not room for both of us really.

I'm happy to make him viennas, eggs, beans, soup etc. Not saying I won't cook at all.

Well it doesn't have to be fajitas, but id knock summat up for him

You should eat, it's no good drinking on an empty stomach.

Making fajita is quick and easy and he has been hard at work decorticating.

DH does like any one helping when he is DIY.

I think Yabu, you said you'd make fajitas, he'll be looking forward to fajitas. Yes, maybe try to convince him for something else but I'd cook them if he wants them. It's not as if he's been sitting round doing nothing is it?

Doesn't

He's taken most of the day to wallpaper a small bedroom? Go and take over man!

Just knock something simple up and call him down.

YABU. Ridiculous.
You could have had everything chopped and prepped ages ago. Doesn't take long to make.
Too right he will be disappointed. With good reason.

I think you're being a bit of a meanie.

Of course there's room for two of you. I'm sure you could have done something to help.

But since you haven't, I would just make the fajitas.

It's not too late to cook as it won't take long and he is looking forward to them.

Or you could just sit here posting and hoping everyone will laugh along at how horrible you sound.

But who wants fajitas at blummin ten o'clock? Is that a normal human thing?

In the interest of full disclosure I put the chicken back in the freezer before starting this thread. So he is almost certainly not going to get fajitas unless I get properly flamed and he is also does a very sad look.

He is brill at DIY. He is just currently wallpapering. He has ripped the floor up, sanded and filled and sanded again, painted ceiling and mist coated rest of room today.

It doesn't have to be a huge deal.

Give him a shout and let him know you can't be arsed with all that so late, ask what else he fancies.

Urgh fajitas at 10pm? Stuff that.

Knock up something simple and get to bed, he'll be hungry and knackered, I'm surprised he hasn't been more eager to eat though surely he's famished?! Or he has snuck some food up there already...!

He has been working hard all day and looking forward to his fajitas. If you don't fancy them don't make them for you, but make them for him - I don't suppose he really wants to be decorating at 10pm at night but he is. The man deserves a decent meal!

I'm not horrible Worra. I have also been very busy today, doing things for the family. I said I'd make dinner on the basis it would be about nine at the latest. Happy to still make him something to eat, but fajitas is, to me, a proper dinner for two. Which I don't want at ten o'clock at night (or half past, as he still hasn't called down yet).

If he's done all of that then make him what he wants.

Chucked can be defrosted in a microwave.

Or ask him if he fancies a takeout .

It's way too late to be fannying about with fajitas. Open a tin of beans.

I have no idea if you're horrible or not in real life.

But on this thread, you're coming across as dismissive, selfish and yes quite horrible I'm afraid.

Almost as though you find the whole thing hilarious.

Hypotenuse, he acted as a human Hoover at the kids party, also had a hot lunch (which I made).

I've made dinner way after that before now. Cook now and say it's ready, you don't have to eat it. DBH cooks for me - I am the decorator in this house and I really appreciate him doing it, he's a fantastic cook and a crap painter.

"The whole thing"? What is the whole thing?

There has been no tragedy or anything dreadful or sad happening here. I am not laughing at child abuse. It's just a bloke decorating.
