[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is easy, op!! So easy. You tell him that you want to respect his wishes to be in charge of his own food. You say that since you don’t want to mess anything up, you’re going to give him full control of the kitchen for dinner for the next month. Once he’s planning, shopping, cooking, and cleaning up every night...he’s going to realize what a complete pain in the butt it is and he’s going to drop the rope, I have no doubt about it. [b]It’s easy for him now because he gets to swoop in and take 15 minutes to grill a piece of meat while standing outside and checking his phone. [/b]Once he had to cook a multi-faceted meal for the family every night it’s going to get very old to him (and to your kids—a few weeks of eating daddy’s food won’t kill them)[/quote]

It's also nice for him because he gets to make a big public show of disrespect and "Isn't mom's cooking awful?" for everyone.  I think that's a big motivation.  I know I would never start cooking my own meal if someone had taken the time to cook a meal for me, because it's rude and really kind of offensive.  If you do that you know it's rude and you're doing it on purpose, perhaps to send some kind of weird message[/quote]

At worst this is blatant disrespect and poor modeling. At best, it's incredibly inefficient for you both to be cooking each night. If he wants to cook, he can be in charge half the time, making enough food for everyone.[/quote]
