To want DP to cook a bloody meal

I cook every single meal in our house as my DP isn’t a great cook. I have just cooked tea and made pancakes for the kids and I have asked DP to cook tea as I am tired and quite frankly sick of cooking all the fucking time.
DP is making a fuss & kicking off about it. Aibu to expect him to cook at least one meal a year 🙄

What fuss can he make about making food it’s not that hard

Worthygirl · 07/02/2019 18:23

He’s slamming stuff about and making it clear he doesn’t want to do it

Kicking off? About cooking?

He sounds like a lazy arsed knob

It's getting a bit like that in our house and it's pissing me well off

Congratulations, you've married a toddler.

Same for me I hate it! He can't even manage beans on toast

TantrumsAndBalloons · 07/02/2019 18:31

Yes he is being an absolute dickhead

But.....and I’m not defending him at all, if you made tea for the kids, why are you cooking again?

Loopytiles · 07/02/2019 18:32

Is he a sexist prick?

JassyRadlett · 07/02/2019 18:32

Christ, he’d be getting no meals from me for the foreseeable.

These fuckers are before they got married (found live in housekeepers).

I don't cook for my husband any longer. Fuck it. It also means I eat better and when it suits me.

I am much happier for it. Try it.

How on earth can you not make beans on toast. My 9 year old can make it

Its learned helplessness no one is incapable of cooking simple 3 to 4 ingredient meals no one

DD at 9 can (apart from the boiling water and draining element of pasta which lets face it isnt hard) can make pasta salad, macaroni cheese, beans on toast, homemade pizza (using bought pizza) and scrambled egg

He doesnt want to its not that he cant

I do agree dp should step up and help. But can I ask why did you make tea for the kids and not make enough for you and DP? Cooking twice is crazy.

Worthygirl · 07/02/2019 18:54

Kids had friends round and I don’t want to eat fishfingers, chips and peas for tea today hence cooking twice
