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).

He is BU for not bothering to cook for himself.

YABU for pandering to this shit - don't cook for a man like this.

What a big baby he is. Who cares what MIL did, she used to wipe his arse too, are you going to do that as well?

He eats what is given, second day lasagne is a thing of delicious beauty anyway, or he shifts for his lazy, entitled self.

Is this a joke post?

apparently MIL never did (I must verify this with her!) and he doesn't like it.

I have SO many questions.

Are you his new mummy?

Why do you need to "verify" your husband's meal preferences with his mother, as if that gives his opinion about meals any more veracity than your own opinion?

If he "doesn't like it", why is it down to you to cook him an alternative to the perfectly good food that is already available, that he clearly enjoys enough to have eaten before?

Why are you talking about "feeding" DH as if he were a child & his food consumption is your responsibility?

Lastly, but most importantly, WTF is wrong with him that he is unable to either eat the lasagne or make something else himself when he is WFH & has access to his own kitchen FFS?

YABU for offering alternatives. He's a grown man, if he doesn't want lasagne he can sort himself a tin of soup or a sandwich.

Second day lasagna is often better than first day lasagna... less sloppy. He's missing out.

OP, quit pandering to this shit. He can make his own lunch if he doesn’t like what’s on offer. What a massive baby he sounds.

Has OP gone off to make him something else.

Oh honey, no.

@Catawaul

It's rather arbitrary that seven days must pass before lasagne passes his lips again.

Maybe it's a religious edict.

Must be - or maybe he enjoys 1950's role play.

He can make his own bloody lunch! Christ on a bike.

Agreed - his problem he can find himself something else. My husband would be delighted and will make himself the same cheese and ham wrap 365 days a year if we have the ingredients in. I'd not be on board with lasagne three times in a week at all though, I'm another one who needs variety.

OMG I can’t believe you are making lasagne for lunch - hats off to you, it’s a sandwich in this house.

Honestly tell him to fuck off.

He gets what he's given and is grateful for it. Or he sorts his own lunch.

Ffs this must be a windup?

I'd ram it up his arse and tell him to cook his own meals in future. The bloody cheek of him to complain when you are putting a dinner in front of him

I'd good lord - who made him the boss? Does he think he's hired his own personal chef? 🌹

Show him where you keep the bread and cheese!!

My DH gets what he is given or sorts out his own food. I cannot be pandering to that sort of nonsense and we are retired so definitely older than you. My mum is horrified I even make my DH sort his own meals out at all and I remind her we don't live in the 50s now and he has as much free time as I do, in fact probably less as he has less interests and socialises less than me. In my book whoever gets home first cooks tea and he needs to give me some meal suggestions so I can put ingredients on the shopping list. If either of us don't like what the other is cooking we are free to sort out our own.

Not "I'd good lord" but Oh good lord"!! 🌹

I haven't served either of the 2 husbands I've had and if they didn't like what was put on the table they were more than welcome to serve themselves. Stepford beckons . . .

Jesus Christ can he not feed himself?

I have a rule in my house (with teenage boys and a husband), I will happily cook every day, if you don't like it, you make your own (without using ingredients I need for the rest of the week) or go and buy it/order it in yourself.

Rarely happens, but I don't pander. I'm not a chef.

It's too late now, but for anyone else reading this, if a man ever compares you to his mother, particularly 'but my mother does it this way' then run away as far and fast as you can. No good ever came of a marriage in which you replace his mother, who did everything for him.

Or as one wise MNetter once put it: "does your mother give you blow jobs? I'm not your mother, so STFU"

Fwiw, whenever I make chilli, it morphs into this giant potful. As a family of 3, we then eat it in various guises for half the week... on rice, jacket potatoes, in tacos. DH doesn't have an issue with that and is happy to help me to eat the chilli down.

Sounds delicious!

Wow, 200+ messages from one OP. Touched a few nerves!
P.S I love lasagna, I'd eat it every day.
