DH ate extra lasagne and didn’t tell me

[Lolabear38]

I’m currently at home with 2 poorly DCs. We are all getting cabin fever so I may be over reacting a little here.

Yesterday I made a big lasagne for our tea. We had it with salad, corn on the cob and garlic bread so it was a substantial meal. There was enough leftover for us to have tonight (planned). I said as much to DH and he said ok fine, he said liked it a lot so was happy to have it again tonight.

I went to bed before DH last night and, unbeknown to me, he had another portion of the lasagne and didn’t say anything to me. Normally not an issue but as I said I was planning on us having it tonight too.

Today has been a hard day with the kids but I thought ‘oh at least dinner is sorted’ except when I went to get the lasagne I was bloody annoyed to see we were one portion down! I hadn’t looked at it all day today as when I put it in the fridge last night there was plenty.

DH was working later tonight so DC and I ate before he got home. I considered giving everyone a smaller portion but then I thought, f$&@ it, we’re having a normal portion and DH can have whatever is left, which is a lot less than he usually would have. He’s now home and very annoyed and thinks I’m selfish and somehow food shaming him for eating the extra last night. He said I should have left him enough, but as far as I’m concerned I did last night!

There is plenty of bread/ baked beans etc. for him to make himself something else but AIBU to be annoyed and not to have left him enough tonight?

Lot of uptight women on here is all I can say

Maybe they're hangry?

You see, this could never happen. Because in order to make a crisp sandwich you need a fresh loaf of white bread.

I think there's just lots of women who are reaching the end of their tether with hearing about men who take, take, take.

It is rude and somewhat silly to assume that because you would prefer a crisp sandwich over a lasagna, so would the OP.

It does seem a bit ridiculous, why would anyone make enough lasagna for the whole famly for TWO nights... if they preferred a fucking crisp sandwich? You'd make something you do like, surely.

But in any case, your preferences are irrelevant, as the OP really bloody likes lasagna.

How many lasagne's do you make at a time. I normally make at 2. 3 Shepherds pie.

I've had the slow cooker going all day with a sausage casserole going, tea tonight and the rest frozen for another tea at some point in the week.... brb, printing my shit parent t shirt out and going bin diving for some scraps to feed the family. 😂

I'm, gasp, not a huge lasagne fan. Seryse's sausage casserole is much more to my liking. I, also gasp, share cooking/cleaning duties with my DH, do not greet him on his return from his exhausting work with his slippers and a martini, and regularly reheat food. I will take my shit parenting/wifing t-shirt now.

You spelled 'boundaries' wrong.

I’m eating reheated Chinese takeaway for my lunch. So I adoubly damned in @tunamayo81’s book.

We're having a batch cooking weekend, shepherds pie, chili, lasagne, bolognese - in an attempt to eat more scratch made food rather than, well, crap really!

It all tastes SO much better if made, chilled then frozen, mmmmmmm is hungry now

You do realise you are going to hell in a handcart? 😂

But such a delicious hand basket. With a catering car.

You are so lazy...

I'm making chilli for tea. And we will be having it again tomorrow. AND I'll be giving it to a one year old.

When we got married (very tiny wedding, takeaway and movie with family afterwards) our enormous Chinese takeaway was still going strong after 3 days! We all enjoyed (please forgive me) “gasp” reheating the refrigerated leftovers!

Poor child, don't be surprised at SS intervention

Appalling behaviour. Appalling.

After all, everyone knows that leftover Chinese should be left to marinade in the fridge overnight and then eaten cold.

I don't actually think that poster really believes the crap she was talking. I think she just painted herself into a corner until all she could do was complain about how objectively terrible it is to eat reheated food.

Like the woman at Christmas a year or two back who complained and moralised about waste until she had to pretend that there was literally nothing in her house that wasn't essential for life.

Revolting. Feeding secondhand muck to a tiny innocent who can't defend himself

Doing my bit to get it to 1000 posts. If it hasn't been said already... OP you should have known he was going to eat his portion the night before, made more, plated him up a super secret portion and presented it to him after his day of toil the poor poor man.
I'm joking but I wouldn't be surprised if that was seriously suggested by some of the downtrodden on here.

Some of these replies were amazing though. Do you think people come on here as an escape from their own shitty lives to try upset an OP who just wanted to rant about her DH being a greedy sod?

On the downside, if it gets to 1000 it can't be resurrected in 6 months and start the whole debate over again😆

Well said

Isn’t it great that women are no longer doormats and assert themselves in the home? 🎉🎉🎉
