I hate being responsible for all the cooking in my house

I am just like OP. I don’t like to cook; DH does. I eat healthy but otherwise don’t much care what or when; DH likes variety and regular mealtimes or his blood sugar drops. We have elementary age kids. I look forward to not not cooking as much as I do now.

I do most cooking during the week and he does most cooking on the weekends. We meal plan together. The kids are mostly making their own school lunches these days.

How have you gotten yourselves to the point where you do everything?

They like to be victims. They have created their own situations but they also want to blame “men” as if all men are the same as their own stupid cave-man husband.

A handful of nuts, some crackers, some cheese, crudite. Then I realize I've somehow been swindled into feeding a giant man and two starving, fussy pre-teen/teens. DH works in an office with a commute 4 days a week and I WFH. Add kids with activities into the mix and it does fall on me. Also DH says he will eat "whatever" but then in the moment is like "what's this" or "hmmm I've had a too much red meat" yet when cornered and asked what he wants for the week is a huge dumb deer in headlights. I have my own irrelevant solutions but the vent is the important part.

Me too. I told my husband just the other day that when the younger kid goes away to college in 3 years, I'm never cooking again. He looked distressed.

Nah. He’ll just overpay for takeout.
