Husband complaining about my food

| I’m the main cook in the family and do majority of the meal planning and grocery shopping. We have a couple of selections that we rotate throughout the week for breakfast, lunch, and snacks. There is more variety with dinner but we still have some we rotate through depending on the week. I’m not the greatest cook but my husband can’t cook. My husband has been complaining lately that he is bored with the food choices but offers no suggestions. I have offered for him to look things up or come to the store with me but nothing. He complains he is tired of the same stuff and that he never gets cooked lunches. I’m getting so annoyed with him. |

| Tell him to cook himself food. You’re not his servant or shirt order cook. |

Nothing makes me more mad than my husband when I ask him what he wants to the eat for the week and he says
“ I don’t know”, but then grumbles when I cook something. If he isn’t suggesting, then he has no say in what you cook. |

| How is it that he "can't cook"? Time to learn, little man. |

+1 I wouldn't make food for someone who complained about it. He can make a sandwich or pour himself some cereal. |

I do most of the meal planning, while he does the cooking.
If DH complained to me, I'd tell him to come up with something since he can cook. Even if he couldn't cook, I'd then tell him to learn. Op's DH sounds childish. This is something my kids do... complain and grumble without making a plan to do anything about it. |

| What in the Leave it to Beaver is even happening here OP? Let him order a Hello Fresh subscription or something. Way to be tone deaf and piss off your spouse all at once. |

| Eh, I am bored with the food choices myself, so tired of figuring it all out with kids and being home always. He has no right to complain if he won't give any inputs, though. Make him help more. |

| Well, do you make the same things? You said you rotate through the same things for breakfast, lunch, and snacks. That has got to be boring. Share what you make so we know if he is right. |

| It doesn't matter if he's right. He does the work or he doesn't complain. |

Just stop. He's a grown ass man and can learn to plan and cook himself. There are any number of cookbooks, wesites, etc for this kind of thing. |

| I do most of our cooking as well. If my DH said that to me (and sometimes he does complain) I tell him to shut the F up or he can cook for himself. I HATE knowing that I have to cook for my family EVERY DAY FOR ETERNITY. I would prefer to eat the same thing every day, which I used to do before when I was single. |

People who are over 8 years old and don;t participate at all in food preparation don't get to complaint about the food. It's really that simple.
Also, complaining that he doesn't get cooked lunches? WT actual F? |
