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 !

Hahaaaa he can go fuck himself :D Tell him my DH makes me MY lunch times, and he also works full time.

His mates wife also drives around in a Mercedes that her husband bought her... get me one and I might consider it 😂

I would have a laugh about it while ignoring his requests.

salene I'm really nice to my husband but he makes his own lunches. A nice gesture is one thing but being expected to just because you're a women is not acceptable.

He might just want a bit of fussing some men are babyish, even though they love their children. I think sometimes they get jealous of the amount of attention the children get

We need a vomit emoticon for comments like this.

Bizarre how those kinds of comments are A-OK, yet it's feminists who are called man-haters. That ^^ is patronising, sexist, infantalising bollocks. Up there with "men don't see dirt".

Wtaf?
I would make dh lunch if we were having the same thing and he did something else instead (like make dinner).
I don’t even make the DCs lunch now - they have school dinners as funnily enough when it fell to them they cba (teens).
Your dh needs to get w the 21st century

Fully functioning, adult men who are good husband's and dads don't get jealous of the attention children get....you know why? Because they are giving them the same attention and contributing.

In my DH's office he is the only one that doesn't get his lunch made by his wife.

The other day in my office of about 4 women I listened to them comparing stories about how their husbands like their dinners a certain way and how they'll sulk if it's not done right.

Sometimes I think I am stuck in the 19th century!

My dh is the only one who can slice the loaf (I make it in breadmaker) and he pre-slices it for us as he can’t bear the wonkiness.

Even my teenage son makes his own lunch, bloody hell how are you still with such a sexist pig?

@Thymelord I thought I was the only one who'd seen that comment and almost thrown up!!

@lisag1969 do you really want to sleep with a man when you infantalise them?! I am so very glad I married a fully functioning adult man and not a child-man that you seem to know.

I make my DH pack lunch every day when I make the DC lunches, but the difference is that if I didn't he would never demand I make it for him.

Preparing to be flamed but i make DH his lunch every day for work. Ok, im in the fortunate position that i dont have to go out to work but i enjoy looking after him and appreciate all he does for me so its not exactly a hardship to make him a sandwich every morning. I also iron his work shirt too (runs for cover!!)

You both work FT? I assume he agrees that childcare and housework should be split equally?

I would suggest that one of you does all the lunches for the family, and the other does all the dinners for the family.

Why all the coy stuff about ‘preparing to be flamed’ and ‘running for cover’, @Tana433? Presumably by choice, since you describe yourself as ‘fortunate’, you don’t work, so you voluntarily dedicate time to domestic chores and childcare. Can’t you understand the difference between that and the OP’s husband thinking that making able-bodied adult men’s lunches is some kind of inevitable female duty?

I do make my husband's lunch for work he doesn't ask me to I do it cause he brings in the money

@Mirandaqueenbee

If you’re a SAHM it’s a shame you don’t value your non-monetary contribution to the household, which is implied by your comment about the money.

Oh PLEASE take up the challenge of only making him the most shit and bizarre lunches you can dream up!

Half a dozen boiled eggs and a spoon.

A wrap with just iceberg lettuce in it.

Cabbage soup made with just cabbage and water.

A flapjack and a teabag.

Homemade jelly with salad set into it.

Cockles sandwich.

My poor DH. I don't even make his lunch when we are both at home. I am a baaad wife.
Love the suggestions to make him such terrible lunches he is dissuaded from asking again. What a knob!

*Oh PLEASE take up the challenge of only making him the most shit and bizarre lunches you can dream up!•

Overfilled bolognese sarnies that will squirt tomato sauce down his front.

Jalapeño chili butty.

Those Chinese snacks that look like sweets but taste of rank old cooking oil.

Kippers

Egg and mackerel surprise

beamur make it even more surprising by using Nutella instead of spread.

I never made my late husband's lunches. We both worked full time. We were a team (until he became an abusive alcoholic, but shit happens). Point is men are perfectly capable of doing their share.

DH once mentioned ages ago that his colleagues commented he was lucky for having a hot meal for lunch from me. I didn’t pay any attention to it at the time but now hoping their wives/partners didn’t hear this kind of nonsense in return, out of context! I most definitely do not make his lunches - I cook double portions and then stick one portion in his lunchbox and one in mine. If he’s cooking (which he regularly does) he does the same. No time for any of this sandwich malarkey

DH and I both work and both take packed lunches. Whoever is packing the lunch that day packs both - sometimes it is me, sometimes it is DH. All the jobs in our house are shared.

Oh and I don't think age has anything to do with it. I am in my late 50s and he is early 60s.
