[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If food is getting on the table, then yes it's unreasonable It's his responsibility how it gets there, as long as it gets there and is reasonably healthy and palatable.

If the issue is you and the kids are hangry and he doesn't throw dinner on until you get home, THAT is a reasonable issue. That doesn't mean he has to meal prep for the week and plan a menu. Someone people aren't into that.

It could mean you make a plan that dinner, in whatever form, will be on the table by 7 PM. If your schedule varies, it could mean texting him 30 minutes before you leave, so he has time to get food ready.

If it's a matter of needing snacks or light meals for you and the kids to be in the fridge when you are peckish, but don't need a full meal, then you discuss solutions for that. It could be you adding special snacks and prepared foods to his grocery list. It could be asking him to make one or two big batches of something (soup, pasta, roasted veggies, meats, whatever) that will keep in the fridge for the week to be picked at and then can be thrown into a stir fry on Friday (you can volunteer to be the clean out the fridge person).[/quote]
