Dh thinks I should make his lunch

[williams345]

Name change for this because I'm fuming,
Dh keeps moaning that I don't make his lunch for work , I look after the kids, I work, I clean the house. Why doesn't he make my lunch ?
I keep saying to him we are not in the 19th century just because I'm a women doesn't mean I HAVE to make your lunch. He has hands why can't he make it himself and in the past when I did used to make his lunch if I ever missed a day he would rather spend money on McDonalds etc than to not be lazy and make his own lunch !

Do you need to possess a vagina in order to make a sandwich?

I usually make my husband's lunch... because I don't go out to work!

Maybe tell him you're very happy to make his lunch from now on. Assuming he takes over cleaning the house

Lol my ex tried this with me, so I made him a lunch with a sandwich I filled with nothing but a piece of paper saying ‘fuck off’ on it 😂 mouldy orange, out of dates yogurt and flat coke I decanted into a bottle.

Funnily he never asked again . .

@WelcomeToShootingStars I don't stay at home ? But thanks for your pointless reply
I also start work at 8 which means I do breakfast club and nursery run at 7:30, he should try doing that for one

I only make DH lunch if it's leftovers from the night before.

I don't make lunch for my 12yo either, she packs her own if her thumb money has run out and even the 9 and 7yo can make a reasonable stab at a packed lunch, although I do check theirs to make sure they are appropriate!

Some of these replies are killing me tho 😂😂

I usually make my husband's lunch... because I don't go out to work!

I'm not currently working. It would never occur to me to make DH's lunch for him though!

I do all the housework, laundry, food shopping and pet care - he can make his own sandwich!

@atomicblonde30 did he leave you for being so grim that you managed to have mouldy oranges, out of date yoghurts and flat coke in your house all at once, or did you just make up that story in the hope of sounding mildly interesting?

OH has never expected me to make his lunch but his Mum did. She asked me once 'do you not make him a lunchbox every morning?!' So I said that if he didn't know how to make a sandwich by now that was all on her! She also asked why I don't have a cup of tea waiting for him when he gets home from work 🙄

As it happens OH usually makes me a sandwich to take to work at the same time as making sandwiches for the kids. He works full time, I work part time and do near enough all household stuff/ child related stuff.

Make them. Smile. Take £3 a day out of his wallet.

of course its nice to make his lunch.it wouldnt be a porblem and there are those out there that like prepping and making people meals.
but that is when it is a back and forth relationship and give and take from both sides.
so he does things for you.and you for him.therefore it isnt a task and just a nice thing to do.and he will do similar things.
but if he is being dick about it.is selfish and ungiving in other ways thn screw that.
so tell him,talk to him

@MNHQ why was my post deleted? My post, quoted verbatim was:

@BehavingBadly she already has said no

How on earth did this break Talk guidelines?

I'm with the poster who suggested a poo and salad wrap tbh. Cheeky, lazy, misogynistic fucker.

I used to make dh lunch.. Just sandwich, crisp yoghurt etc. Or pasta.
Then I just stopped so he did it.. Alrho now he tends to take pasties and stuff so he just throws it in a bag and goes

I could go and make everyone's lunch and not do his he wouldn't bat an eyelid

No I left him cause he punched me in the face for not having sex with him @GiveHerHellFromUs

FYI it’s not grim to have a one day out of date yogurt, nor is it grim to have one leftover orange underneath the fresh ones but feel free to take me out back and flog me for my terrible orange keep capabilities and it’s not hard to pour out a can of Coke so it goes flat.

Get a grip moody Mary.

@atomicblonde30 glad you left him! And I have had mouldy oranges and out of date yoghurt in the house at the same time!

@Highonpotandused Sorry about that - didn't mean to delete your post. It's back now.

While we're here though, just a reminder to stay within our Talk Guidelines please - it's fine to disagree but personal attacks will be removed.

My DP makes my lunch when I'm nightshift. He offers so I can get a bit more sleep. Then I do the same when hes nightshift. But other than that we make our own.

@GiveHerHellFromUs No fair point, I'd probably not do it out of principle in that case!

The team he works with eat an appalling amount of junk food too, I like knowing he's getting a healthy lunch with the odd treat lunch. As does he I should add!

I've been married 25 years and have never made a single packed lunch for my husband....because he's an adult.

At work, there are 2 members of staff whose partners make their lunches.... and they are always taken the piss of about it!

Another married couple work at our place, she makes her own healthy packed lunch whereas he trots off to the shop and buys something if he hasn't got something ready. :)

My dp makes my sandwiches if I ask him too. He also brings me coffee every morning. Couldn't imagine being with a knob who expected me to mother him.

We used to take turns whilst the other was doing bedtime... because that's partners do, share the workload

Tell him to let you know the next time he takes a shit and you'll wipe his arse for him, too.
