Cooking what i want all the time

[MOmiMa]

Was reading another thread and just realised my DH gets whatever I want for dinner, as I am SAHM and cook 100%. I have never asked him in the morning what he wants for dinner. I just cook whatever I fancy that day.
AIBU in doing this? What the the others do? I don't think I could do with his requested, as often just open the fridge and see what we can have that night.
Dh likes all the food I cook

AIBU in doing this?
Not really.

What the the others do?
Er…ask him what he would like?

I don't think I could do with his requested, as often just open the fridge and see what we can have that night.
Well what’s the point in asking people then? Although you could just ask the night before and get whatever you needed out the freezer, but neither of you sound particularly bothered either way so

Sounds reasonable; you’re doing all the work!

I do nearly all the cooking (I'm not a SAHM but I work shorter hours than DH). I don't ask him what he wants on any particular day, but when I'm thinking about the week's meals I ask him if he has any requests.

If your cooking you choose the menu. I quite often ask my husband what he wants for tea but mostly because I can't think of anything.
If he objected he could cook presumably, but as he doesn't mind just carry on.

Does he complain or ask / mention he'd like something different? I'd not then I'd continue doing as you do. He's probably not that bothered

If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it!

I seldom ask my DH what he wants for dinner, it would either be curry or fish. I don’t mind curry but fish is a firm no.
I enjoy and am good at cooking, he is neither so it’s take it or leave it here.
I wouldn’t ever make something that I know he doesn’t like and , on the rare occasions that’s he states a preference I will cook it.

That sounds ok though? My DH is unfussy. He will eat anything and as long as there is something to eat at some point in the evening he’s happy.

I choose as I cook but I do meals we all like in rotation.

I rarely ask dh what he wants for dinner. If I remember I'll check with him when I do the shopping and plan the meals, but mostly I cook whatever and he will eat it. After 16 years I am well aware of what he will and won't eat though, so it is always something he is fine with.

I do all the cooking although not SAHM. I do ask him and occasionally he has an opinion but for the most part he appreciates the surprise. But I do cook stuff he likes more than I like.

I pick our dinners and Dh lets me know if he fancies anything when I'm doing the shopping list.

I do the cooking, neither DS or DH get consulted, unless it's their birthday or something.

That what being a cook is all about

I HATE beans so nobody in my house ever eats beans 🤷🏻‍♀️

If DH or the kids really would like something in particular they can ask for it and it might come around one if these days

Btw, if your OH complains too much, THEY can do the cooking!!!

It’s fine. You aren’t from the 50s. You are in charge of the cooking so you get to decide. You could ask him what he’d like in when you’re ordering the shopping if you want (or not )

We generally agree what's for dinner - I do most of the cooking although he chips in or will cook if I don't want to/am busy. DH keeps telling me I can just cook what I want and that I don't have to check in with him! I'm starting to try to do this more - waiting til he goes to put DD to bed then just seeing what I fancy pulling together depending what's in the fridge. It's quite good fun actually!

It's fine as long as you don't cook stuff he specifically doesn't like all the time.

Yanbu.

I usually ask when writing shopping list if anyone has any preferences for meals that week, but usually don’t get much input back. So I go with what I fancy most of the time.

I ask when I am doing the food shop if he has any requests. If he isn't keen on something l'll lessen the frequency I make it, but day to day I decide based on what needs using up quickest.

I'm not a SAHM but cooking is my sphere, he does more childcare.

I cook, and therefore I cook whatever I fancy. DH is not a fussy eater. DH did once say to me (after 20 years of marriage) you never buy beetroot and I looked slightly bemused and said, Well, no. I don't like beetroot. It wouldn't occur to me to buy it.

Apparently he likes beetroot. I didn't know this. But we do the supermarket shop together. He could pick up a jar of beetroot. He has chosen not to, for 20 years.

This is odd, imo.

We are on quite a careful budget so we plan our meals every week, but DP and I do this together. If I suggest something he doesn't fancy he tells me, and vice versa. Then we do a shopping list and tend to shop together (because we are getting a bit Howard and Hilda in our old age lol).

I don't know. If dp was decorating would you expect to have a say in the wallpaper in the living room? I would ask and get it agreed before hand.

I do all the shopping and most of the cooking. I’ll ask DH what he fancies for dinners that week and get stuff he wants and stuff I want. Then I cook according to what goes out of date first.

I do all the cooking and i ask every bloody day if there's anything DH fancies but can never get a straight answer! I'm sick of being the one to decide all the time
