to be slightly irked at dh being a bit miffed that I didn't cook dinner tonight?

[MrsBigD]

I've just started a new job so am totally whacked trying to get to grips with new routine of dashing around dropping off/picking up children etc. so couldn't think of what to do for dinner, so I asked dh what he fancies as I was happy to cook as long as somebody told me what they want... but he was uninspired. So I had a sandwich whilst the kids tucked into battered sausage and chips from the chippy - special treat (dh normally gets himself fish but he's gone on diet...).

Afterwards he grabbed some toast and moped that that wasn't a great dinner... ffs he's a grown man and for once could make a minor executive decision and decide on what he wants to eat or am I expecting too much???

YANBU-he needs a slap!

I'd give him toast everynight until he helps you decide what to cook, or even better cooks for you once in a while now you're working.

Whooosh LOL

lilolilmanchester... dh does cook occassionally ... he does the BBQ and I do the salad and as he's a kiwi there's plenty of bbq's.

When I do work I work in the evenings and on Monday after i finished work dh sat and waited for his dinner which obviously i was going to be cooking after i'd been working having had the kids all day. Poor dear has had a hard day and needed a break - I didn't of course having got up an hour before him and not sat down till dinner was made - of course YANBU although my DH might think so. MEN!!!

So when he barbeques....does he shop,prep and clear or just do the macho grilling?

sorry over enthusiastic there MEN!!

Oh MrsBigD YANBU my DH has to put up with this most evenings since I went back to work, poor thing he goes for a run once DTs are in bed and by the time he's back I can't be arsed with cooking so he gets whatever he can be bothered to rustle up

clutterdup poor you, don't think my dh would 'dare' that

whooosh... macho

MrsBigD-just want to check that I am not being unreasonable-does dh have two working arms and legs???

hah I just worked out what YANBU means! LOL

Whoosh yes he has indeed though common sense doesn't alsways seme to filter through from the brain to the body parts required for certain actions

Big slap then or mega dose of laxatives in a lovingly prepared bowl of soup

whoosh you're evil but that's not a bad thing LOL

Well ignore him-how is the new job going?

new job is great and fun and I even get exercise because I finish at 1500 and have to dash to pick up dd from school at 1510 LOL

i give my dh weetabix for dinner all the time. One step up from that is good old pasta and pesto. If i make a 'real' dinner I automatically feel absolved from any 'real' dinner duties for at least three days.

So what do you eat for dinner?

the kids left overs
