[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am like your DH and gets very nervous about tastes not being accommodated when I host, so I get it. I go overboard and still feel like no one was happy (my own overthinking / worrying).  There are a lot of pages to this post so not sure if opinions are still being solicited, but I would bring charcuterie to the outdoor concert, and sandwiches on the boat. For the sandwiches, I would do a mix of turkey and cheese, ham and cheese and tuna.

[b]People, who cares who makes the sandwiches so long as OP and her spouse are fine with the division of labor! You haven’t all been clamoring that OP needs to work the grill.[/b] [/quote]

Well, as far as we know, OP hasn’t been instructing her husband that he needs to grill no fewer than 5 different proteins, as well as a vegetarian option, and to use a certain type of charcoal, because it makes the food taste better.[/quote]

OP said her husband “wants” charcuterie on the boat and “suggests” sandwiches for the picnic. That is hardly being controlling! It sounds to me like OP and her husband jointly plan what to serve when hosting, divide labor however they prefer, and OP is simply asking our opinions on which to serve when. No need to act like OP is a doormat or her husband is a tyrant, which is how many of you responded. I think a lot of you would be happier if you start by assuming good intentions of people.

(And quite possibly OP has voiced opinions about the grilling to her husband, but no need for her to mention in her post since her questions relate to the boat vs picnic.)[/quote]
