To think my DH could have done me dinner not just him and the kids?

[Dizzywhore]

Iv been working all day 9-4. We both work full time yet I make dinner for the whole family every night! I don't normally work weekends so he was only with the kids but one of them was out for a large chunk of the day. He made them all dinner sat and ate in once I was home and said oh I should have made you something to shouldn't I? Yes!!!

Fucker!
I would be

There's been another thread with almost exactly same scenario though other OP was just upstairs while her DH and kids ate a whole roast dinner!

I can't imagine not cooking for someone in my family. It's a horrible thought - I wouldn't do it to anyone.

Order a takeaway for one, seeing as DH has already eaten!

Well, you know what to stop doing, don't you?

Yes he should of. Only thing I can think of if it was something like chicken nuggets and chips for the kids I wouldn't of wanted to eat that sort of 'kids food' so would prefer to make myself something different later on.

Oh yes I like that idea of ordering a takeaway just for yourself.

So ate it in front of you and didn't even share the meal they had?!

Yes just seen that post potatosalad! Lots of selfish husbands about tonight!

Oh my god! I can't believe this! I'm raging on your behalf yy to ordering the yummiest takeaway possible, with extras. If he tries to have a bit, stab him with a form/chopstick

Oh boy.

I only ever do this if the children are having something DH really doesn't like, in which case I set up/prep/make in advance something he does like. Last week that meant we had macaroni cheese and he had a batch cooked thing from the freezer (meatballs).

But just not making enough for everybody ... not cool.

*fork

That really is thoughtless. I'd definitely be ordering a takeaway just for one!

Another selfish fucker! Arrrhghhh

(my 6 year old has just sweetly offered me and the cat pudding, as she was outraged at the behaviour of these stupid 'men')

It's got me wondering whether this is a common thing? I thought families were supposed to look after each other and not be selfish...

Takeaway! Takeaway! Takeaway! Don't go and cook

Chuckling at the idea that you should have grabbed his and asked what he was having

Wow that's horrible i would be raging and yes straight on deliveroo

Order yourself a nice takeaway, get yourself a drink and think about all the dinners you and the kids will enjoy eating next week while DH has to make his own

I wouldn't bother cooking for him anymore.

Er what? How does that happen? Did he forget you existed or were coming home?

More so with a roast dinner as it's not individual portions and it's easy to serve an extra plate...

DH apologises if there is nothing left over from lunch for me when I get in after work about 14:45 at the weekends, and today 5 yo randomly spontaneously apologised for forgetting not to scrape his lunch left overs into the bin in case I wanted them when I got home if I was home while they were eating the kids would be upset if there was no food for me and would try to share theirs... How does a grown adult who is your partner not offer you half of his if he's had a brain fart and somehow forgotten you also eat food/ would be home in time to eat?

Honestly what goes through these people's minds?!?
YY to takeaway for 1 and stop making his meals immediately

I'd have walked out, purchased his favourite food, and then devoured it in front of him, throwing any leftovers directly in the bin.

What the hell though, he's an absolute cunt- sit down with him tomorrow, tell him that is unacceptable behaviour and outline your expectations for the future.

I ended up making a super rice packet! He sat with me while I ate it and looked a bit sheepish 🙄

He didn't even offer to make you any dinner?

I'm the cook nowadays here, have never, will never be this selfish. Not preening, more embarrassed that blokes let the side down so badly

I'm with Mouse.

I'd have picked up the i pad and walked out the door and taken myself out for a lovely meal in a pub/restaurant where I could post an update on mumsnet...
