To not get up and do DHs dinner when he gets in

[FlamboMango]

Full disclosure, I have a lovely life. I work 2 days but the rest of the time am at home, school aged children, cleaner and dog walker, no financial worries. I earn a pittance and on my working days DH does dinner, school runs, activities whilst trying to WFH. DH earns hundreds of thousands a year and supports our lifestyle 100%, my salary basically buys 2 food shops a month.

Weds and Thurs are DHs client days, so he goes into office then entertains clients after. Often home late those days but always wants to eat dinner. I generally cook and plate his up then he when he gets in I get up, make him a cup of tea, heat his dinner up.

Tonight we had pizza so I had to get off my arse at 21.30 when he got in and cook a pizza. I can’t be bothered. My days are very restful but the afternoons - school
runs, dinner, activities, hustling kids to shower and teeth clean, packed lunches, cleaning kitchen, bed time etc…. By 8pm when I’m sitting down I want to stay sitting down not get up and cook pizza.

AIBU to say if he gets in after 830
he heats up his own tea and I don’t have to move?

I'd cook his meal but I wouldn't reheat it. With the pizza yes I would have put it in the oven

Nah sorry. Not buying this one.

LTB and treat yourself to a spa day.

LTB (so I can have him).

Why the fuck do you have dogs? If you really can’t be bothered to walk them

Very similar situation here in that I work two days but I have a preschooler at home with me on non working days and I still earn a good wage as kept my high level job.

My husband also works very long hours but I do and would get up and make his food each night. A lot of times I don't feel like it but I remember this day has been far longer than mine so that motivates me. I then throw in a new for good measure.

We're a team and we both do our part to make our life work and run smoothly with everyone feeling valued.

What kind of client entertaining is he doing in the evenings that doesn't involve dinner and drinks?

I can't believe the answers to this thread 😂 She's not his servant. If he's in that late he can put his own pizza in regardless of how much he earns. He's presumably a functioning adult?

😂😅😂

I call reverse too

This isn't real. Nice try.

Reverse.

Or entirely made up.

Tedious.

I was expecting to read he made you get up out of bed to make it. That's what a friend of mines dad used to do after coming back from the pub. Usually just to make him a cup of tea. You have a much better life than she did.

This! Or a microwaveable meal. Or leave some leftovers that he can heat up himself!!! I work late and wouldn't expect my husband to cook for me when I get in!

If pizza is so easy, why can't he do it, I wouldn't expect my partner to do that if I came in late, I'd sort myself out

It's a work of fiction.
Not a reverse 🤣
Op probably lives in a tiny flat with a family of cats and the internet for company.

I work 2 days too but thankfully earn a good wage My dh earns nowhere near yours and we do all our own cleaning. We have 2 young kids and a toddler. I can't fathom your life. If he does the same for you on his day off why wouldn't you for him? My dh warms my dinner and plates up after I've been to work and I do the same for him. I don't find it a big deal. If he was coming in late I'd normally cook and he'd reheat the meal.If it was pizza I'd bung it in the oven whilst he freshened up and give him company to hear about his day.

Whilst the second half of your day is busy your first half isn't. If you're genuinely so tired get your bloods checked to make sure it isn't a deficiency that is causing it.

Yabu.

While I'm sure this is a wind up it's still fucking irritating to read. Although in all fairness there probably are people this lazy, selfish and entitled but they have more sense than to post it on MN.

This has to be a wind up or a reverse.

Nobody can be that bothered about opening an oven and putting a pizza in.

How the other half live! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

LTB

How beautiful it is to do nothing and then rest afterwards. Spanish proverb.

No wonder marriages fail with this kind of attitude. Why not work as a team? OPs husband provides a good life for them, allowing her to only work in a poorly paid job 2 days a week, she doesn’t have to clean or dog walk, just pick the kids up / sort meals and bedtime on her 3 non working days. Hardly a slog. And she can’t even be arsed to stand up and put a pizza in the oven when he’s been at work all day and long days to boot? Maybe he should stop cooking for her on her working days? She’s an adult she can manage? Although from this post I doubt she could manage to scratch her own arse tbh.

Absolute load of crap, only funny bit is the try hard thick shits saying you are being reasonable.

Yes! 😂
