[quote=Anonymous][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. 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. 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]

This seems a bit much. He is cooking what he wants to eat not asking his wife to do it. [/quote]

Yes, he’s cooking what he wants FOR HIMSELF. He’s offering the kids a little bit, but there’s no way he’s shopping and cooking for the entire family every week and being so picky. I think people who are rude enough to reject a meal that someone cooked for them can take over the cooking for a month and see how time consuming it is to do so. Just like the parents who don’t have to do all the rushing around to get kids ready for school in the morning or do the school-soccer-homework shuffle because they work late. They don’t GET it that it doesn’t happen easily because it’s easy, it’s because someone else is working hard to make it happen.[/quote]

If he is contributing to the food budget then you're the one who is being "rude" and inconsiderate in not considering his preferences.[/quote]
