Is this acceptable or should I do time for murder?

[Busyworkingbee]

Been at work all day and OH has been home.
I usually cook but he asked if I wanted a jacket spud. To which I replied "yes please."

He shouts in..
Do you want mayo? Yes
Do you want cheese? Yes

5 minutes later he handed it to me.
Jacket spud with a tin of tuna slapped on top, and I mean straight from the tin, still the shape of the tin. A few sprinklings of cheese on top and mayo squirted on top. The worst bit is there was no butter on my spud at all!

I was speechless!
He doesn't cook so didn't want to hurt his feelings, but surely this form of spud is a known abomination

Right, so if you had to do the washing, would you cock it up because it’s not your ‘usual job’?

This.

I know it’s light hearted but I find this kind of ineptitude cringeworthy and not particularly funny. My 9 and 12 year old sons would be able to make up a tuna mayo baked potato filling with ease. It’s not rocket science.

Hey at least he took it out of the tin...i detest tuna so you'd have got jacket, cheese, butter & mayo with a side of still tinned tuna with a tin opener 😂

Well I laughed op, sorry your lighthearted thread has gone as badly as your dinner!

Get hold of a cookbook for Christmas. Have him try out a recipe. Just be careful here you don’t want to offend him for no reason. Offer advice however.

I think the right response to this is, next time he wants a cup of coffee, you present him with a mug, a spoonful of Nescafe or similar, a mini bowl/ramekin of sugar, a small jug of milk and a kettle of water, all arranged carefully on a wanky slate or marble board. Then tell him it's a deconstructed cuppa.

deconstructed coffee 😂😂😂

Oh dear OP looks like the lighthearted fun police are out In force today. How very dare you joke about something so serious some people would give anything for a shitty spud right now!. I think you should leave him immediately so your children are not exposed to this vile behaviour.

Why do some of you think this is acceptable or funny? I genuinely don't get it.

It's no wonder some men are so useless and expect their wives to do everything.

Oh my god some of you really need to pull the stick out your arse! It was light hearted. Her dh prepared a jacket potato in a different way to her, I’m sure he’s a perfectly capable adult. It’s a funny anecdote. My dh made me a boiled egg with triangle toast, it’s funny because it’s an unusual way of doing it. Not because it was wrong or he’s trying to prove himself inept.

Jesus wept.

Not everything needs to be dissected and deeply analysed.

It wasn't a microwave jacket spud was it??! Please say he at least cooked it in the oven

Why do some of you think this is acceptable or funny?

I’d also like an explanation of why it’s funny. Genuinely, I don’t get why it’s funny rather than rude and utterly baffling behaviour from a supposed adult

DP doesnt expect me to do everything. But he does things differently to me & some times i want to muller him for it. Doesnt mean he's useless or i'm downtrodden ffs. Lighten up

My dh made me a boiled egg with triangle toast, it’s funny because it’s an unusual way of doing it.

But it wasn’t an ‘unusual way of doing it’. He didn’t do anything bar cook a potato!

If you need an explanation of why it’s funny...perhaps it’s time to move along and tear someone else’s lighthearted post to bits.

"It's no wonder some men are so useless and expect their wives to do everything."

Tbf, reading this, seems like some women are more than happy to keep their men useless!

DH rarely cooks, but when he does, he follows a recipe exactly and it always turns out brilliantly. However, I totally get the previous poster who mentioned every pan, utensil, baking tray being used!

And add butter, tuna and mayo. If my dh made me a jacket potato with chill and cheese (just for example) and he didn’t mash the potato then add chilli or whatever I wouldn’t then bang on about how he’s doing it wrong on purpose because I do everything and he’s being useless to make me go do it blah blah blah...I’d say “oi you daft twat, you know I prefer it X way” and he’d probably say “oh god sorry, I forgot, I’ll remember next time”. It wouldn’t be a dissection of the whole thing. It’d be a light hearted conversation and a funny anecdote.

God, it must be a laugh a minute in your house.

Apparently only gourmet meals are acceptable in some households. I feel sorry for my dp & dc who get bog standard dinners 😂

The OP thought she would share something she found funny , why be so nasty ?

I think you are all missing the point.

Tuna mayo is a disgusting option for a baked potato.

Cheddar all the way!

What's so baffling? Some people are crummy cooks. I could well imagine my mum serving this meal. She just doesn't care much for food or cooking.

@ScatteredThoughts that is very true. But my god, what if he puts the cheese on first?! Shall we burn him at the stake for crimes against feminism?!

Putting cheese on first most definitely warrants burning at the stake...

Butter
Beans
Cheese

That is all 🥔🧀
