I don't know if I'm being unreasonable about DH and cooking.

[Shinygoldbauble]

When I met my now DH he was fine about cooking. Before we had children he did about 30% of the cooking. Nothing fancy but quite capable of getting the groceries and preparing a meal.
Once we had kids and i became a SAHM I gradually started doing more until meal planning, shopping and cooking became almost 100% my thing.
I'm fine with it for the most part. DH works long hours and i have recently returned to some part time work.
I was working for a few hours today, on my feet the whole time doing very tiring work. DH did some grocery shopping while I was out and he was supposed to be doing the evening meal.
He just started cooking. He has a tiny steak - it won't come close to feeding 4 of us and he knows I'm not keen on steak. He is cooking about 5 tiny potatoes with it.
He didn't think of me at all. There is nothing for my dinner.
It's not the first time this has happened. If he is cooking for the family he invariably cooks something I'm not keen on and never cooks enough.
And now he's annoyed with me for being critical. I'm so fed up.

Order yourself a takeout and don't share.
He's an idiot

It just reeks of 'If I do a rubbish enough job then i won't have to again'.

So he's making dinner for himself, and no-one else? Sit there around the table with empty plates and an expectant look, show him up until he gets it.

It’s unacceptable to not cook enough for everyone.
Is he doing it deliberately so he doesn’t get asked again?

Say nothing, let him dish it up, sit down to eat and realise how pitiful it looks on the plate. 5 potatoes? So one each? And an extra for him? And a tiny piece of steak? It’s going to be pretty obvious when he dishes up how he didn’t make enough. Let it dawn on him when you all sit down to eat. Don’t say a word. See what he says.

Order yourself a takeout and don't share.

This. What an odd thing to do. It's not much more effort to actually cook enough for everyone once you're cooking anyway.

This is my dinner. I added a teaspoon to show the size. The corn is a late addition after I said there would be enough.

YANBU. He is being a knob for the sake of it. I'd be fuming. Get the biggest, fanciest take away and enjoy it in front of him. Maybe make something else for your kids if it's not enough. How annoying!

Definitely sit and assume you’re getting something. Wait and see what happens. Don’t criticise yet.

What about the kids?

Have you already eaten? What did he say? What did the kids get?

Is his meal the same as yours? And the kids?
What a dick.

Jesus. That’s appalling. Make the same meal tomorrow since he thinks this is okay.

And what did you say? Did he keep a straight face?

Definitely taking the piss

That dinner is not enough for anyone
Has your DH got the same amount of food as you?

What?!?

That is ridiculous.

What did the kids get? What was his portion like?

Did he apologise?

I was in the bathroom when he served it. The kids had 1 baby potato, corn and steak. By the time I came in to eat DH had finished and he left. I didn't see how much steak the kids had but they had it eaten in the couple of minute I was gone.
I actually think DH got no dinner.

Yes make exactly the same for him tomorrow. No corn on the cob though. He can sortbtagg himself like you had to.

You sure it isn't a wind up and a takeaway won't arrive in a minute?

He can't seriously think you'll all eat that and only that for dinner.

Well I know what I would be doing with the corn on the cob

What a prize tool. Revenge is best served cold OP. Serve him one baked bean and a crust of bread for his tea tomorrow.

And order yourself a nice takeaway.

Perhaps he has gone to the chippy to buy dinner

So you didn't even all sit down to eat together?

How strange.

My 2yr old would probably eat more than that!! What's his excuse?

Bloody hell... That's not enough to feed a feather for goodness sake!
