To think it’s perfectly possible to assemble a lasagne in my half hour lunch break?

[KensingtonGore]

I did this yesterday and my husband says I didn’t. He thinks I couldn’t possibly have had time, and therefore I must have used working time (I was working from home). I have explained but he’s not listening.

To be clear:
I had the meat sauce in the freezer, so I defrosted and heated it up a bit in the microwave.
I used no-cook lasagne sheets.
So all I had to do was make white sauce and put it all together.
I left it to settle and put it in the oven later.

Perfectly possible, right? I’m kind of flabbergasted that he thinks it isn’t. And very pissed off that therefore I must be lying.

What a weird thing to accuse you of lying about.

Why does he think you would lie about something like that? It is perfectly possible to do as you said. Perhaps he cannot multitask.

Very weird. Also do you work for your husband? Because if not why in the world would he give a flying shit if you've used work time or not?

Is he your boss? If not why does he think it’s okay to act like it?

Why does he even care?

That's such a non event OP 😕

With previous prepped ingredients like that of course u can.

What an odd accusation

Why does it matter? What a weird thing for him to accuse you of lying about!

Yes of course, it's just the assembly and bechamel. Maybe he didn't catch where you said the meat sauce was already made

This is definitely time for "you're not the boss of me".

That's not technically making a lasagne though is it? Does he realise the bolognese was already done?

Of course you can assemble a lasagne in that time.

I'm much more concerned about your abusive husband though.

From your title,I was all set to say not a chance.
But given the ingredients you already had, of course it was possible.

Next time he can do it

The context is that yesterday he expected me to pick up DD from a day out that he had organised. Which finished an hour before the end of my working day. I had said this was difficult, given my contracted work hours.

So he was making a point about how much free time I must have had and that therefore I had no right to complain about collecting DD.

Goodness, seems like there is going to be a big backstory here!

Yes of course, with all the stuff prepared like that. Your husband is a weirdo. Why does he care what time you used anyway?

Yes, I agree. It’s sad.

Cross-posted. Wow - he sounds very tiresome.

Very odd accusation as that is perfectly possible to do especially if you had meat sauce already made in freezer. I bet he will enjoy eating it though. Mine takes a bit longer because I chop up tiny pieces of peppers into mine.

Of course you can, I could do one from scratch in an hour.

He sounds like an absolute dick. Sorry if he’s normally nice, but this would put my back up.

of course it’s possible - the key thing is you’d already made the sauce. Perhaps he misunderstood this? But wasn’t he just graceful you’d given up your break to make a nice (reasonably economical too) meal for the family?

He’s gaslight-y and controlling and that’s why this is making you so frustrated?

I can make a lasagne from scratch in 15 minutes ready for the oven.

How bizarre!
