Sausages

My H wanted sausages in bread buns for a quick tea. He was going to cook it himself (he usually cooks tea) but didn't feel well so I said I'd do it.

I'm standing at the hob, sausages in the pan, frying nicely, and he shouts through 'don't forget the sausages need turning!'
I ignore, because I'm used to him thinking I can't cook. He shouts: did I hear him?
'Yes, I heard you' I respond calmly.

I butter the bread buns, slice up the sausages and take it through to him. He says in his most incredulous voice 'are you sure they're cooked? They can't be cooked properly yet, they'll still be frozen!!'

I took them off the plate and stuffed them in his gob and screamed like a banshee 'you tell me - are they still f×××ing frozen?'

No, of course I didn't, but I dearly wanted to. AIBU?

Is it wrong to expect a response to texts/whatsapp/messenger within a couple of days?
I recently asked a number of my family members for ideas for their children's xmas prezzies to try to get organised , not one has returned my texts, AIBU to expect a prompt response?

I hate it when that happens I asked SIL what Dniece wanted for her birthday a week ago and no reply, then I’ll be the bad guy when the wrong present turns up late.

@AllAboutMaggots Are you sure he wasn't well enough to cook some sausages? Grin

What's that got to do with OP and her DH and a sausage bap?

Should have dumped them on his head Grin

YABU for thread title. I thought this was going to be a thread critiquing sausages.

FatAgainItsLettuceTime · 29/10/2022 17:22

Backseat cooking is incredibly annoying!

My DH usually cooks, I can, I just don't enjoy it.

Whenever I do the cooking he will potter in and out of the kitchen and wait till I turn my back to stir or move something in a 'oh just trying to be helpful' way.

A could of times I've just stopped and said 'ok you do it', walked off and sat and read my book.

You were very restrained to not snap one of the sausages in half and shove it in his face to prove it was cooked.

YANBU to remove the sausages and eat them all yourself.
YABU to butter the bread. No butter needed for what is effectively a hot dog. Onions and ketchup/mustard essential!

Sorry didnt mean to post on yours 😬
thought I did start a new one 🤦‍♂️

Baystard · 29/10/2022 18:30

YABVVU not to have done that Grin

YWNBU if you'd said "yes, they're frozen, you mustn't eat them." and then eaten them yourself and handed him the empty plate.

SirMoose · 29/10/2022 18:32

Mines a back seat cook but he is actually a chef so I can’t be too mad at him.

Alphabet1spaghetti2 · 29/10/2022 18:35

In this household, if anyone dares back seat cooking, their dinner goes straight in the bin. They are then told to cook their own as they evidently can do so much better.
This applies to anything else that gets a back seat critic - laundry, cleaning, driving etc. it best nipped in the bud pronto I have found !
