To do all the cooking?

[BobbleHatBrigade]

Briefly, I work part-time.

My DH expects me to do all the housework and cooking, which is fair enough, but just occasionally I would love a meal cooked for me!
Last night he said the meals were getting a bit 'samey'. I'm no Delia Smith, but I try my very best. I cook everything from scratch and regularly batch cook. This escalated into a huge argument as I said maybe HE could try cooking occasionally- it's not solely my job. (Every other friends husband I know cooks too). He's more than capable. He even asked for cook books for Christmas just before we had our new kitchen installed, so I was looking forward to him making something occasionally, but 18 months in - nothing. Is it unreasonable of me?

I make from scratch, curries, lasagne, cottage pie, chilli, Daals, bolognaise, Risottos, Spanish Rice, Pies etc. I try to keep it varied, but it's every day and occasionally I wish he would muck in and make something too :-( I even batch cooked meals to take every day for a UK holiday recently.

I'd just like a break from it now and again, but its always met with the same argument that he works full time and I don't.

I don't know who is right or wrong here, so I just wondered what others thought?

Did you just read the list of stuff she did after work?

what? Leaf blowing the drive and laundry for 2 adults?

let me root out that tiny violin

Did you just read the list of stuff she did after work? She might not have been paid for it but she's done a full day's work as well

She's worked half a day in a paid job, walked her dog, changed some sheets and blown leaves off the drive.

People who work full time still do all of those things everyday. Making your own bed and walking your own dog isn't work - it's life.

She's worked half a day in a paid job

we don’t even know it’s half a day. Op asked a few times to clarify what part time actually means for her but she’s dodged it

It's not ' fair enough' at all .

I actually do all the cooking because I want to. If you're not happy with the current set up then he should definitely do some of the cooking, particularly at weekends!
