OH complaining about my dinners

132 replies

I've just made a lovely tuna bake creamy garlicy cheese sauce sweet corn and tuna and some garlic bread.

OH left all his dinner and ate all the garlic bread and said my pasta was plain. He will quite happily Scoff his mum watery tomato pasta (vile) and will scoff maccies everyday.

I'm actually sick of cooking for him as he's always got something to complain about.

Stop cooking for him 🤷‍♀️

Frouby · 09/11/2020 18:30

Stop cooking for him then.

Carishina · 09/11/2020 18:31

How rude of him! Does he ever do the cooking?

mummyoneboy19 · 09/11/2020 18:31

Then stop cooking for him.

HilaryBriss · 09/11/2020 18:31

Make him cook then.

flaviaritt · 09/11/2020 18:31

Well, if he doesn’t like it he doesn’t like it, but he should cook for himself instead.

NoWordForFluffy · 09/11/2020 18:31

I came to say what's already been said. If you're sick of it, why haven't you stopped already?

Twigletfairy · 09/11/2020 18:32

Totally agree with the others, why are you always cooking for him?

maryberryslayers · 09/11/2020 18:32

Tell him to cook his own dinner then, or better yet cook for both of you.

FelicityPike · 09/11/2020 18:32

Well that would be the last meal I made for him!

Leaannb · 09/11/2020 18:32

Stop cooking for him

Cheesewine · 09/11/2020 18:32

I hate this. I make my DPs dinner for his work every night and it's always something. The gravy was too runny the potatoes were too hard there was too much in the tub. Every bloody day. We should stop cooking!

LagunaBubbles · 09/11/2020 18:33

Well firstly does he like what you cook normally, do you ask him what he wants etc. If so and he's like this then its rude and he can cook for himself.

lockdownqueen · 09/11/2020 18:35

I always tell him don't eat it then but he's always first to the table waiting for his dinner!!

Because I have to cook for the kids aswell they will always be dinner left over.

How do you feel about his cooking?

lockdownqueen · 09/11/2020 18:36

He never cooks and the one time he did cook he burnt the curry that bad it turned into a kebab!!!!

First time DH criticises something and it's the last time I do it.

There's a huge difference between "sorry but I'm not sure I liked that grilled, I prefer it fried" and "that was disappointing, I never want to eat it again"

This is a post designed for the replies. Correct replies of course so far!

DontTouchTheMoustache · 09/11/2020 18:37

Send him back to his mum

PurpleDaisies · 09/11/2020 18:37

So just cook enough for you and the kids.

TheTrashBagIsOursCmonTrashBag · 09/11/2020 18:37

Don’t cook for him it’s really not that hard. He can make his own dinners.

RegularHumanBartender · 09/11/2020 18:38

So leave him sat in his arse at the table then. Why do you see cooking meals for an ungrateful adult as your job? Confused

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 09/11/2020 18:39

Cook a meal - portion it to everyone's amount. Tub his up and put it in the freezer for you for another day. Sit down with the kids and eat. Leave his place setting empty.

ohidoliketobe · 09/11/2020 18:39

Yep. Tell him to make his own. Don't put yourself through his rank meals - either make less, or save the extra to have as leftovers for your lunch the following day.

PickAChew · 09/11/2020 18:39

He need to improve his cooking for himself skills, then.
