[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]No, making dinner is not part of SAHM job description (unless is for the children of course). However, I think it is part of human decency job description.[/b] I go through phases where I hate to cook and when that happens, I keep frozen food from TJ at home and heat it up before my husband gets home. Or if I have left overs and don't want to have dinner myself, I pull them out of the fridge and leave at the counter for my husband to choose. I really can't open a box and threw it in the microwave and call it dinner?

I think you are pissed at your husband for something else and this dinner business is just an excuse.[/quote]

Yes - what has OPs DH done to her that she doesn't want to grant him that simple kindness? If I get home from a long day at work, I don't mind throwing together a little something for myself from what's in the fridge, but if there's nothing to be had and I have to go back out to the store, I'm going to feel a little hurt by the SAH spouse. There are many nights where I'd be satisfied with a bowl of cereal for dinner but I'll brown some ground beef, dump in a jar of pasta sauce, and microwave some veggies because I know DH doesn't want cheerios. Seems like OP is going out of her way to *not* do anything for her DH, and that sucks. [/quote]
+1!Even a big salad with some protein like tuna or chicken or beef, for god's sake, plus a cup of coffee.

My DH is exhausted under pressure and still has to interact with the kids who've been waiting for him all day, so feeding him helps his mood before they pounce.

I make them wait until after dinner, which sometimes is "sandwich night" like Rob Lowe complained on "About Last Night," but at least everybody's fed.[/quote]
