My husband does almost all the cooking around here. If he doesn't feel like cooking, he tells me I have to fend for myself. Then I fix myself a sandwich!! We've also started buying some low-cal frozen dinners to have on hand, and we eat a lot of soup too. I do the cleaning up after he cooks, it works for us. Once in awhile he will ask me to fix something, and then I will, but he finds it hard to not tell me how to do it. He knows I do a better job than him, but since he has started cooking and watching Foodnetwork, he thinks he is a gourmet cook.LOLOLOLOL OMG! Some of the c--p he puts on the table!! But, I will eat a little of whatever it is, I don't want to go back to cooking every meal!

I can cook and I do love to bake....but my hubby loves to cook...I do clean up after him but he has got better over the years to clean as you go ...as I do when I do cook or bake.

My parents think it horrible that my husband cooks...and not me...helloo...I work full-time and he enjoys cooking and gets home before me.

Are you quoting my husband? I have banned him from saying "I don't know" after 35 years of marriage. He will eat anything but sometimes just a choice would be great.

This sounds familiar. LOL I am fortunate that my DH eats whatever I cook and usually praises it. I do ask sometimes because I get tired of no ideas or suggestions. I love his cooking also & he will cook anytime I ask. We both help with the cleanup.

Oh gosh...my least favorite conversation of the day....EVERY day!!

me- what do you want to eat?
DH- I don't know..what do you want?
me- I don't give a crap, just tell me what to cook!!!!
DH- Well, what are you in the mood for?
me- a rope to hang myself!!!
DH- well, then...why don't I just go call in a pizza...
me- :roll:...well, why didn't you start with that??

This is usually our conversation:

DW: What do you want for dinner?
DH: Not chicken.
DW: OK, I asked you what you want, not what you didn't want. What do you want to eat?
DH: I don't know. What do we have?
DW: I could make meat loaf.
DH: No, not meat loaf.

This can go on and on and on. I believe our very first argument took place in a grocery store with a conversation similar to this.

All of the time.

This sounds just like our conversations at our house. After 48 yrs. of this same thing --- I'm at the point of hating to cook at all. I buy the healthy frozen tv dinners and when I don't feel like cooking, we eat those. :evil:

At our house it's usually figured out about 3:00 --- if I've been busy and haven't thought about dinner...I hand DH a can of chili. :)
