[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You would seriously buy meal delivery for yourself but not your H and make him pay for it himself? Do you even like him? How do families like this manage? [/quote]

OP. It’s about $2k a month for me. I do freelance work, so I just have to pick up an extra gig and I’ll be able to afford it.

H isn’t career motivated and is happy with a job that doesn’t pay well. I’m okay with that, but I don’t want to have to pick up extra work to feed him. [/quote]

If you want a successful marriage, this isn’t the way to go.  Sorry but the idea of feeding only yourself, telling husband he is on his own and kids get sliced veggies (!) is just not a realistic solution and will cause a lot of unnecessary strife.

If you need to do a meal delivery or pre made meals, it needs to be for all of you.

Otherwise I’d suggest having you and the kids do cleanup and the husband cook or vice versa, and switch to simpler meals like crockpot, omelets, one pan skillet dinners.  There are entire cookbooks devoted to easy meals like sheet pan dinners.[/quote]
