AIBU to feed DH the same meal twice?

[KidsAreMean]

DH won't eat the same meal twice in one week. I, personally think it's absolutely bonkers, but apparently MIL never did (I must verify this with her!) and he doesn't like it. Fine. I've got used to it. However, usually during the week, I cook for the DC and will e.g. make a double portion of lunch which we eat 2 days later.
This week I made a massive lasagne. Plan: Monday lunch, Wednesday lunch when DH is home office and then we'd finish the rest Thursday lunch. Except DH has now decided he's working from home today (as well as yesterday). I don't have any other food in apart from eggs which he doesn't like. Else I can make an emergency pasta & tomato sauce - which is basically same as the lasagne!
So AIBU to serve him the lasagne? I'd planned to do the weekly shop tomorrow, going today will inconvenience me next week (even though I'm a sahm).

Serve him the lasagne, but call it something else.

I don't like meals repeated so sympathise with the husband. Seems to be an unwarranted amount of anger against him for a fairly innocuous preference.

Can you not make yourself a sandwich either? Are you not grateful for meals other people are preparing on your behalf?

If not you're as pathetic as the OP's DH.

I agree offer him lasagna or egg.
My huge concern is that you have no food at home other than this. Why. if your husband is working are you living such a restraining life. I know some like to shop daily but there’s usually something to eat. Hope you are ok. This is not usual in this age.

Ffs what is up with people. We do a roast chicken and eat it for days until it’s finished. Then we’ll do two packs of mince and eat til finished. Life is shit and hard enough without cooking every fucking day! And then there’s more time for other stuff and fewer dishes!

So what did he have?

Thanks

Hello the 1950s, this is the 21st century calling.

😂

The 1950s want their pinafore back

I could eat homemade lasagne every day for a week.
Eat it yourself, let him make beans on toast and then watch you eat home made lasagna.
You have spoilt him.

What a tit. Cut it up, turn it upside down, stuck some green stuff (veg) on top and call it something different- that should plácate his bellend-esque sensibilities.

You have got to be joking. Obviously spoiled by Mil. Tell him to go and grow a pair and you need to toughen up!

Am I in the minority? I too hate eating the same meal more than once a week. If I make spaghetti Bolognese and there's some left over I freeze it rather than eat it again the following day.

If you're the one doing the cooking, you can make as many different things as you like.

What is unreasonable is making proclamations such as 'I won't eat the same food twice on a week' but not doing any of the work producing the food that you want to eat.

..."bell end esque.." 🤣🤣🤣

If it was the same food for dinner ie main meal, I would feel a bit bad even though that’s ridiculous. But you’re talking about lunch. He needs to remember that if he was in the office he would be going out to buy lunch and apparently, statistically, most people eat the same lunch day in day out. Can’t remember where I read that, but I did. In our house, lasagne two or three nights on the bump would be with a big salad one day, garlic bread another and I’d push the boat out and give him ice cream the next. My husband would be very happy to be fed - full stop. A home kitchen is not a cafeteria and generally works to a budget. Don’t bother pointing any of this out to him -just happily enjoy your day 2 lasagna (usually tastier anyway) and he can eat graciously or get a takeaway. It’s not a battle worth fighting xx

I’m not a SAHM but I work flexibly and do dinner every night for DP. He gets what I cook, usually fish and salad, or we order in if he wants something like pizza. I think your DH needs to understand that you are in charge so if you make lasagne, that’s what he eats unless he orders in. Sure, he goes out to work and brings in money literally but you work just as many hours, if not more. What would your DH pay in childcare, housekeeper costs and food delivery if you were not running things? I’m sure it would amount to just as much if not more than he earns. It sounds like you plan things super well, tell him the menu is lasagne with a side of ‘f*k you’. x

Tell him that if he doesn't want lasagna, since you had no advance warning, that he is welcome to fix his own lunch that day...and every damned day, as far as that goes.

Who gives a rat's fanny what his mum did? You are not a 50's housewife. If he's that set on having what Mum did for him, tell him to go live with her. He sounds utterly spoiled, and you've been continuing that. He can probably be retrained, but no one is going to be very happy while you're doing it.

Just when you think you've read it all.

Are you his wife - or his servant /kitchen staff - what a horrible bully he is, why are you even with him - he's treating you like staff - charge him £50 an hour or tell him to cook his own damned dinners

Hahahaha 🙄

Oh dear. I used to have a husband who took himself off to bed at the mere thought of a cold. He had flu once. The dreaded dressing gown and slippers of doom. He was in bed, for 3 days. FFS. He kept banging on the bedroom floor, and I was expected to leap into action. He banged on the floor, one too many times. When I ran up the stairs, flung the bedroom door open, and said "WHAT?" he said, (hand against his poor fevered brow) "Any chance of some lunch?"
I'm actually very proud of myself. I didn't kill him.
I said, "You're too ill to eat fucking lunch!" and slammed the bedroom door behind me.
Strangely, he never banged on the floor again, and magically recovered later that evening. Sadly, the new patio had been finished a week earlier. I actually understand why some people commit murder. I do. I was very nearly one of those people.

I also never mopped his fevered brow. And it was requested, trust me. Poor old thing. Twat.

You’ve gone back in time when women had nothing else to do than run behind men and mothers did not teach men how to cook clean and run a house times have changed but this makes life tough for women.Tell him to get his own i do to my 71 husband if he moans but he will then eat it his mum He wasn’t taught to do anything around the house he had to learn over the years

His Lucky he gets anything. I've never cooked for my Dh ! His an adult more than capable

BobISMyUncle - . The way you write is hilarious.

I have to admit I can’t actually believe what I’m reading…it’s not the 1950s!!!
