Talked to My DH and he said this... - Page 2

Oh, and you DON'T work? Give me a break. Let him have the house and kids for a week and see how he does. And so what if he comes from a traditional Catholic family? This is not his parent's marriage, it is YOUR marriage. Men come up with all kinds of excuses, don't they. I guarantee he won't starve. I doubt very much if he didn't eat for three days. I'm sure he went either fast food, mini mart or snacked his way through.

Ohhh, I'm entirely too stubborn to let that one go! If dh said he wouldn't eat if I didn't cook I'd LET him starve. LOL.... I'd also buy him a freakin cookbook and say GO FOR IT! But that's just me. I agree though, he probably didn't not eat for 3 days. I'm sure he snacked or hit the drive thur's or something. Who won't eat for 3 days? What man can stand to not eat for 3 days?? lol

When he told me he wouldn't eat if it wasn't cooked for him it wasn't like a "you dummy you better get in the kitchen and make me a pie" or anything it was just that if I was tired that was fine but he just wouldn't eat. And yes it does add to my worry like he's a child that's not eating. I suppose it's cause he comes from this hard core catholic family and almost all the wives stay home and dote on their working husbands. I guess I'm trying to be a stepford wife and sometimes it just doesn't happen! (Since my husband is the youngest of 6 all his brothers and sisters are 10-15 years older so I feel this need to justify myself as a wife and mother because I'm much younger than them) I think I probably made him this way.

First of all, the you dummy part too funny! I can so understand my dh is the youngest but of only 3 but there is a 6 yr. gap between him and the other, and he too is from the catholic family, and I do too think I made him the way he is, (well I blame his mom a little too, lol!)I do enjoy the domestic stuff and I am kind of old fashioned about who should do what, but sometimes I wish he would want to think of me like I think of him to try to make my life a little easier. To sum it all up I understand!

I'm sorry, but that is flat out childish. What if you were hospitalized for a week? What would he do with the kids? "Sorry kids, mommy isn't here so none of us can eat?" He needs to grow up and learn to take care of himself. You are not his mom. I'd hit him upside the head with a skillet & tell him to learn to use it. Cooking is not women's work - it's a basic survival skill. And I bet if you stopped cooking for him more often & told him to "fend for himself - sandwiches or whatever leftovers are in the fridge" eventually he'll learn. Unless he needs to lose weight, in which case you've hit upon the perfect diet plan for him.

This is what I was thinking...what if you weren't here?What if you were so sick he had no choice but to prepare dinner? Would they live on McDonalds and take out pizza? That is a very childish attitude. If he were my DH, I'd LET him starve....I wouldn't cook for him just to see hoe long it lasts, aon top of that I'd take all his cash and debit cards to MAKE SURE he wasn't eating out, I bet he'd learn to make himself something real fast then....

Got to agree with Mari on this one!!! That is just plain stupid. Would he have his children going hungry if something happened to you?

That's crazy! I don't believe that he didn't eat at all for 3 days. Can he not even make popcorn in the microwave? How about opening a box of cereal, pouring it in a bowl and adding milk? Or maybe opening a loaf of bread, taking the peanut butter out of the pantry and spreading in on the bread? Can he not put bread in a toaster and push down the lever? Although these are items you don't want to eat every night, these are simple things he can make in a pinch for him and the kids if you're not feeling well. Talk about lazy.

My dh loves to cook big fattening country meals. He doesn't do alot around the house but he does do alot of the cooking.

That is just so funny and sad at the same time. how about microwaving? Does he consider that to be too unmanly? My dh is a terrible cook-when I was in the hospital all he fed the kids was ramen noodles for 4 days! I feel for you, hope he can give a little. If I were you, I'd cook ahead and just warm things up every night.
