I have taken a stand.............I am now on strike!!!!!

[Ruprekt]

I can take no more.

Made a lovely roast tonight. DS2 and I devoured it. Lovely.

DH picked and picked at the fat and left a HUGE pile on the side, even though it was edible, moaned that he wanted more veg and went into the kitchen to find something else to eat.

DS1 picked and picked and said he thought we were having chicken which we were not. He said he was going to throw up if he took another bite of cauliflower cheese.

So I ate my dinner, came upstairs and had a shower and have declared a strike!

I will cook for ds2 and I. DH and DS1 can cook for themselves.

Boys are 8 and 11.

I have had enough.

Good for you. Ingratitude is not acceptable from eleven year old boys not least grown men. They should have eaten what they liked, thanked you properly, and then, maybe, found something they liked more (childhood of being force fed crap may be influencing that last part)

Bear in mind when you shop, you shop for you and ds2 alone

Agree completely. I battle against the ingratitude with DD2. No way would I put up with it from DH.

Harrumph!!!

thank you all for the support!

I wouldn't mind if someone just HELPED me meal plan.

I am sick of thinking what to eat, buy, cook. Then off I go with said plan and a list and then I buy it all, get it in the car, put it all away, without complaining.

After that, whinge whinge whinge.

Enough is enough.

Bang out of order, your dh that is.

Assuming the DS in question likes Cauliflower cheese* YANBU.

DH is being an ungrateful arse and certainly can cook for himself.

I love cauliflower cheese, but the smell makes my sister feel ill.

I ended up delegating the whole shopping/thinking/cooking thing to dh

DS usually likes cauliflower cheese.

They are all very subdued now.

U would be stinking mad if my partner behaved like that in front of the children.

How are you supposed to teach kids how to behave when the adults are still behaving like brats!

He (they!) should have eaten what they liked, left anything else, thanked you politely and asked for toast before bed!

I think your "d"h needs to have a think about the messages he is giving the children in terms of how it's acceptable to treat mum.

good on you for taking a stand OP!

In that case YAtotallyNBU

CD and DH are being rude and can be hungry

DS (kindle spell checking has gone nuts today)

So I cooked for ds2 and I tonight.

Dh and ds1were most put out.

Dh cooked for him and ds1 and nothing was said.

Let's see what happens tomorrow.

Ds2 thinks it is funny!

Good for you

Good on you.

But leave it to his own device, DH will just eat the same thing everyday. He had egg fried rice every day since moving out of his parents till he moved in with me. I couldn't stand having the same food even once a month. So it naturally fall onto me to meal plan. (He still has the same lunch every day, cheese on bagel). But at least DH is grateful for the meals I planned. He eats them happily.

What's your DH like foodwise?

Your DH sounds like a childish arse, and your DS sounds like he's copying him.

Good for you OP!

Excellent. Please will you post the meals you have made for you and ds2 vs the meals he has made for himself and ds1?

yes please post the menus :)

Well done op!
