So how many of you really give his dinner to the dog?

[naswm]

My DH often works late. And I have lost count of the number of times he has said I'll be in at whatever o'clock and then rang half an hour after that time to say he is still stuck in the office.

Tonight he said he'd be in at 8o'c so I prepared a shepherds pie for us to eat together and didn't eat with the kids at 5.30pm.

Now he sends me a text saying he's going to be late.

So, I've not eaten, he's going to be late and I want to give his portion to the proverbial dog that we dont have. I am so

I'm sure he can't help it. If this happens and I'm starving I phone him and tell him that I'm really sorry but I can't wait and he has to eat by himself later (I'll chat to him while he does). But I'd never give his supper to the dog because he is late - what a bizarre thought!

my dp does this too and it drives me mad!
I'd rather he just didn't tell me, than tell me a time and then not be there.

I normally eat mine and bung his in the fridge

that has told me then PPH!

Know the feeling!!!!

OFTEN OFTEN end up throwing his dinner in the bin the next morning. MAKES ME MAD!!! Apart from the waste, its the effort I put into preparing meals that I end up throwing away.

So, in answer to your question..... no dont give it to the dog cos we dont have one, but if we did have one the dog would certainly be a very FAT dog! LOL

the cat is quite well fed actually

I always eat with the kids. Dinner is served around 6:30, and if he can make it, great, if he can't, well, fine. Sometimes there's something left for him to reheat, sometimes there isn't.

He's gotten better, over the years, at predicting when he'll be home, and often manages to give me hours of notice on the days when he won't be home before the kids go to bed.

I probably would be giving his tea to the dog if he was late because he was in the pub, but if he's working, well, he's working.

DH normally prepares dinner,the only meal I cook is a Sunday lunch.
He is never there for it,as he always plays golf on a Sunday.I just plate a meal up for him and he reheats it when he comes in.He is usually starving and in the Winter freezing cold,so he really appriciates it even reheated.
If you plate a meal up for him and he doesn't eat it,can't he take it to work for lunch the next day.DH offten does this,he hates waste and takes all the leftovers for his lunch.
Oh yes,he also eats all the spotty bananas the kid will not eat.
