You should cook yourself a lunch, just for you

DecayingDisaster · 27/10/2008 10:28

this evening cook extra nice tea for you and the dcs but not him then see what he says.
actually dh did this to me yesterday. i just sighed and ignored it because he is a man and won't notice or change.

I would be

and would have said something.

But that would be the end of it. I wouldn't let it ruin another day.

filz · 27/10/2008 10:29

He's a man so it's cool to be selfish and lazy?

CapnJadetheKnife · 27/10/2008 10:29

"i just sighed and ignored it because he is a man and won't notice or change."

yes of course all men are incapable fools and it has nothing to do with you not tackling it so he never feels he has to change

What a load of rubbish.

expatinscotland · 27/10/2008 10:30

I would have eaten it and then asked him where his was.

DecayingDisaster · 27/10/2008 10:34

and there are things that matter so therefore i pick my fights. breakfast is not one of those things.

FAQ · 27/10/2008 10:36

some people just do their relationships like that - my Aunt has been married to her DH for over 30yrs - and they still generally cook/prepare their own meals! They're very happy together though

nailpolish · 27/10/2008 10:37

at least he didnt lie in his bed and ask you to do it

actually, my dh does this. he knows me and the dds are all capable of saying "oh can i have some"
and he would gladly cook for us
he is just a man of few words

TrinityRhino · 27/10/2008 10:37

vinegARRGH

nailpolish · 27/10/2008 10:38
