My mother always used to ask us what we wanted for dinner and we would always say 'don't know' and she'd get really upset and mutter things like ' Why do I always have to decide?' Now I know why she got so fed up
.
I have solved the problem by having a dh who loves planning meals. He sits down and decided what we are going to eat that week, does the shopping for it and posts the list on the fridge for me to refer to. We divide up the actual cooking of it over the week depending on who is home. The downside for me is that I don't have much input into what we eat in the evenings but he is a healthier eater than me so that is no bad thing
.
BTW we did this as Dh is a vegetarian and I had one too many strops along the lines of 'WTF do vegetarians eat?' in the early days of out relationship'
I don't like cooking much but I agree I find the deciding what to make the absolute pits.
