My third AIBU of the evening

background.
I don't do cooking. DH does the shopping, the planning, the cooking.

DH went out yesterday evening and is feeling a bit tender today.
I'm hungry.
he hasn't provided me with a nice meal.
I can't cook so can't produce anything.
don't wan't nstant stuff (soup/beans/bread)
AIBU to expect DH (who feels a little fragile) to get up abd cook me something nice? (even though it is fathers day)
I did take him to a stately home today.

Is it your time of the month ??

YABVU - if you don't / won't cook, you get what you're given - or get a takeaway

Carmenere · 15/06/2008 20:46

You are pathetic.

Lollypopzmummy · 15/06/2008 20:47

Umm personally I think you are being unreasonable, if he's not feeling at his best, and on Father's Day too, then I think you should be prepared to eat something instant.
Beans on toast isn't going to kill you now is it?

(Am slightly at your term of phrase "he hasn't provided me with a nice meal." you are obviously a well kept woman!)

YABU

Sorry but YABU. I'm the cook in this household and I sometimes fail to deliver a meal. Hangover isn't usually the reason but work, busyness, or disinclination can be. On those occasions everybody has to do their own thing (usually "thing on toast" - beans, cheese, eggs etc) Occasionally takeaway.

YAB Totally U

Can't you order a take away?

pointydog · 15/06/2008 20:57

maybe this is your punishment for taking him to a stately home. Well deserved.

kslatts · 15/06/2008 20:58

YABU - cook something yourself or get a takeaway.

ScottishMummy · 15/06/2008 20:59

why didn't you eat at the stately hone?don't you have a wee man/woman to "provide" for you. you sound the type. seeing you don't cook n all that

PestoMonster · 15/06/2008 21:00

Unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!

johnso · 15/06/2008 21:05

YANBU
Honestly, it's like feminisn never happened on MN sometimes
If you have an arrangement whereby he provides the meals then he cannot pick and choose which days he fancies it
I would insist he whipped me something up immediately

SlartyBartFast · 15/06/2008 21:11

ha ha

SlartyBartFast · 15/06/2008 21:17

NigellaTheUndomesticGoddess · 15/06/2008 21:51
