controlling husband

Meal times a problem. My controlling husband likes to cook Sunday dinner as he thinks I cannot do it well enough. Unfortunately he has to dictate when we eat which is normally 8ish . This is too late for my 7 year old so I have to either cook for him before or let him stay up late. As it is a school next day I feel it is too late but would like him to be included. Talked to husband but won't budge so just end up arguing, then I feel a bad mum as 2 kids have heard the arguments.
Am I been ungrateful as he cooks a nice dinner for me and our 12 year old.

Why don't you suggest he does Sunday lunch instead? That way you can walk it off in the afternoon, everyone's awake for it and he can play computer games in the evening to his heart's content?

Most children should be in bed at 8 not bloody starting tea, YADNBU.
