AIBU to make a roast when my daughter asked me not to?

[TURTLE74]

Adult daughter 22 is not a fan of roast dinners. She asked me if I could not do a roast dinner today and make something else which I agreed to. However I had a chicken in freezer that needed using up today but I did make a pasta bake which is something she likes as an alternative. I like to make a family dinner on a Sunday for us all. Daughter was disappointed about the roast but I explained to her I had to use chicken up but I did make something she liked as alternative. She said to me you told me you wouldn’t make a roast and she looked upset. She didn’t go hungry though as she had Cottage Pie after saying there’s nothing to eat. AIBU to of made the roast even though there was pasta dish as alternative or was she being unreasonable here as I feel bad about it.

🤣🤣

Tell the entitled princess to cook her own food inn future.

I was also thinking there's more to this than food. She had three options for food - roast, pasta bake, cottage pie - that's plenty for most people to have something they like.

Does she have some kind of negative association with roast dinners, OP?

That would explain why she might not want it cooked even if she wasn't eating it?

Why did the chicken in the freezer need used ? Just leave in freezer

I'd be worried your daughter might give your restaurant a bad review on Yelp.

Why are you even bothered by this OP?

She’s behaving like a spoiled brat who thinks she should be able to control what other people do.

Your house, your kitchen, your food. Don’t like it? Don’t come for lunch.

Feel obliged to point out that there are indeed dates by which you are supposed to eat frozen foods. Dates differ for types of food.
Unless you are absolutely certain that food will be used before those dates, items should be marked with the date when placed in the freezer.
Chicken is a food that people can tend to treat with a little more caution re dates.
DD was being unreasonable,unless you have a strong history of just ignoring her requests OP and deliberately doing the opposite.

I am reading this at 6.23 a.m and you made me laugh so hard I have to clean up spilled coffee.

This is ridiculous. She had a choice of:

Cottage pie
Roast
Pasta bake

and still wasn't happy? I think she needs to take on a week of cooking family dinners.

This is the kind of behaviour I expect from a 2 year old.

What does she do for a job OP? Does she get upset when people make a Victoria Sponge for the office when she wanted a Lemon Drizzle?

If you like a family meal on a Sunday, I think it's sort of unreasonable to have something that a member of the family doesn't like. It's not as though a roast is the only thing you can do with a chicken.

On the other hand, you made her something she likes and fed her so she shouldn't be whining.

She’s 22 not 2, she’s old enough to have her own place and cook her own meals. If she doesn’t like it point her in the direction of a shop!
