If he asked you specifically to send home cooked food, then find a company like mighty meals or maybe a home chef subscription. If he didn’t ask, don’t go there.

He did not ask me for a gift. It would be weird if he did. He does complain frequently that he is dead tired and he is the only person in the house who cooks, otherwise he and the kid don’t get to eat.

Who is this person to you? A brother?

Who is he to you that he's making this pretty personal complaint? A brother? An ex?

He doesn’t personally complain to specific people. He has frequently made comments to pretty much anyone, at large parties and occasions. It’s known that the guy’s home situation is unbalanced and he’s not happy about it.

The number of a divorce attorney or a therapist- this whiner needs to do something about it if he isn't happy with the current set-up.

Ooof, OP, I think this is really overstepping boundaries. Assuming you’re female, it comes across as home wrecker—“sorry your wife sucks you poor man, look what you’re missing out on.”

Why won’t you share what your relationship is to “the guy” despite being asked numerous times? You’re definitely coming across as having questionable intentions.

Does it matter? This is the food forum. I’m not looking for relationship advice, just food advice. Either people have food recommendations or they don’t.

We don’t. Stop interfering in someone else’s marriage.

I suggest you give your son, or whoever it is, a cooking book that lays out how to do this. I learned to cook when my first child was little. It wasn't something I learned at home. Your married bachelor, with all the insult it implies towards his wife, can learn to do all of this, even while burdened with a y chromosome.

I'm looking forward to OP's complaint post about how her DIL made her feel unwelcome on her post-care-package visit

These are not my kids!

NP but your post definitely strongly gives off the judgmental MIL vibe. Why are you so invested in this man’s eating habits and how he and his wife share domestic responsibilities?

a cookbook for meal prep or freezer meals.

also, get him some balls if his wife isn't sharing in the child or household chores.

Yet for some reason you felt the need to go into irrelevant detail about his marital situation and make passive aggressive digs about his wife not doing her fair share, which makes you sound like a bitter meddler and is why people are responding like this. If you actually wanted food advice you could have just posted asking for healthy gift basket suggestions without the judgmental snark.
