I do my best to keep the house cool when it gets really hot. I do not cope well with heat. I make an effort to draw curtains, keep windows closed etc.

Come down during my lunch break and the formerly cool kitchen is now a sauna. Of all days dh has decided today is the day to use up the frozen pork for pulled pork sandwiches (dinner).

This after I told the kids not to open windows etc.

Dh doesn’t normally work from home so wanted a “treat”. I said it was an incredibly dumb thing to do. And I got called hysterical. And a nag.

YABU, pulled pork is very tasty 😋

I think you’re overreacting. Put a bag of frozen peas on the back of your neck and enjoy a pulled pork sandwich.

I'd be quite happy with slow roasted pork today. It's the next few days I'd be feeling like banning any kind of cooking. So it's fairly sensible in a way to get it over with.

ColdAsAWitches · 22/06/2026 14:53

So go into a different room. If you didn't notice while he was cooking, it can't be having that much effect outside the kitchen.

I think he is an idiot.

You’re over-reacting. A kitchen is for cooking in.

I doubt that people who live in hotter climates for longer eat salad and ice cream every day.

lordbaddingham · 22/06/2026 14:56

Putting the oven on for hours in this weather is a bit bonkers

Arregaithel · 22/06/2026 14:56

@Prok anger is energy sapping.

Enjoy the pulled pork with an ice-cold glass of whatever takes yer fancy 🍹

Yabu to eat pigs in any weather...

Brightbluesomething · 22/06/2026 14:57

Totally unreasonable of you. Pulled pork sounds delicious. Open your windows!

They often have outdoor kitchen areas.

DappledThings · 22/06/2026 15:00

You're being ridiculous. And I say that as a massive heat hater.

susiedaisy1912 · 22/06/2026 15:01

I’d be fucked right off if he’s had the oven on all morning in a heatwave. Yanbu

purplecorkheart · 22/06/2026 15:01

Honestly,I think you need to accept that other people do things differently than you and just get on with it. Otherwise you are going to have a very long summer.

Aye but UK dwellings aren't built for hot weather they're built to retain heat .
Glad I'm NE Scotland

Hysterical? I really want some pulled pork now. Wish someone cooked that for me.

JoshLymanSwagger · 22/06/2026 15:05

I made the mistake of putting the oven on for about half an hour just before 12.

I agree entirely with you @Prok It's a fucking stupid thing to do.

I got so hot I lost it, argued with DH - which is about the 4th time in 20+ yrs - threw my lunch in the bin and turned the garden hose on myself.

My kitchen is still bloody hot, I'm hungry and DH is full and I've only just found my glasses (I chucked them somewhere when I came in.

My oven is now OFF until weekend.

Either zap it in the microwave or suck on it raw!

chocolatemademefat · 22/06/2026 15:07

I might slow roast some pork myself. I’m in Scotland and could do with some heat.

Prok · 22/06/2026 15:08

It’s more annoying cause he rarely uses the oven. He normally uses the hob for his meals - stir fry’s, steaks etc. I
