I’ve gone on strike because I’m completely fucked off with catering every bloody night. The adult DC have gone - I wanted to cook for them but it was a bit of an overhead ( I’ve done my 20 years!) - and so obviously I’m going to not cook now unless I feel like it. DH has just cooked the emergency ‘fresh’ ravioli and sauce and seems to think he’s turned water into wine . I’m
Refusing to kiss his feet in gratitude.

Cook separately for yourselves or do what I did - LTB! So much nicer.

I'm with you OP. Thinking of what to have for dinner for 20 yrs has done me in. Like you - I would not be giving a round of applause to DP for using no imagination at all. Was it you that bought the ravioli in the first place? If so, that might even get a very slow hand clap!

Fair enough that’s all he could be arsed to cook. But a) it’s the first time he’s ‘cooked’ in months and b) let’s just acknowledge that it’s the easiest shittiest meal and doesn’t deserve any accolades … but hey, it’s lovely, thanks so much.

I get it OP. My exH never pulled his weight with cooking (or anything else really) When I finally got him to agree to cook one meal a week, he was most annoyed that didn't mean he could heat up one of the meals I'd batch cooked.
