@Clymene you know nothing at all about what my partner would 'leap in to suggest'.
Maybe you have a lazy arsehole husband, I don't know. But mine is my best friend and the absolute antithesis of the kind of knuckle-dragger you're implying here. And I will not stand some stranger on the internet assuming the worst of him because she can't conceive of a partnership so easy and equal that a woman doesn't feel put-upon by asking a food-related question on the internet.
If you're such a feminist, give me some goddamn credit.
The fact that you chose to fixate on WHY he has no oven has no bearing whatsoever on WHAT we might cook for Christmas Day (as many, many PPs have managed to wrap their heads around).
Even if we lived in a country where everyone had twelve ovens each, we still don't have one in the flat where WE are spending OUR Christmas Day and my question about what a nice thing to cook on the stovetop on Christmas Day would still stand. Nor would it be nearly as complicated a question as you and some of the MN hyenas seem to be bent on making it.
And again, if you could bring yourself to read my posts instead of flinging lazy MN generalisations around, you'd understand that after the last 18 months of him not being able to work, living in a not-great-but-at-least-affordable flat that he doesn't find comfortable simply to be close to his son, I am 100% on board with us finding a way to have Christmas together there.
Yes, let's attach some nice memories to that flat instead of just the stressful ones the last year.
Yes, let's give his son a lovely Christmas in the flat he feels more 'at home' in, instead of at his dad's girlfriend's house, which he sweetly spent last Christmas in with no trouble, but is quite understandably not 'home' for him.
DP is not insisting on anything –he requested and I said "Yes, absolutely, I get it. Let's find a way to make it work."
So me and my vagina are just fine, thanks –the only part of any of this that's been unpleasant has been the BS I've had to field on here.
