The girlfriend is doing something non-time sensitive. She should be able to pause that to do something that is time sensitive, like eat a meal when it’s ready and will be getting cold. It isn’t that she’s not appreciating it enough, it’s that she can’t for his sake pause an activity to eat a meal that needs to be eaten immediately. It’s a gently caress you to the cook

PS it has taken me months to finally catch up to the thread and be able to actually post about a current topic!

AITA for asking for the tv to be turned off for five minutes so that I could feed my kid a bottle?


Why didn’t he just go to the bedroom in the first place?! If you can do something in any room, and someone is engaging in an activity that interfered with you in the only place they can, then you move. You can move, they can’t.

Some people just have bad personalities. You can chalk it up to upbringing or some quirk of genetics/mental health, but they're just predisposed to being an rear end in a top hat and there's nothing to do but to avoid them. It probably sucks to have a bad personality though because you wind up reaping what you sow if you aren't wealthy and powerful enough to not, like most people, depend on a supportive social network to make it through the challenges of life

Even if you live in the most expensive zip code in the country how could you even blink at spending a couple hundred dollars a week in a maid when you make a half million a year.

It would cost 1/5th of 1% of their yearly income at $200 a week. It’s equivalent of my girlfriend and I subscribing to HBO.

Nah, the moms an rear end in a top hat. Kids make mess, learn to live with it and don't get too precious about soft furnishings and then maybe your kids won't yearn for the chance to mess around with non-lovely pens so much. Teach them boundaries, expect them to blow off occasionally, and accept that you'll be changing the carpets when they hit 10+ and don't play with that stuff any more.. instead it will be much grosser stains

She said one of the kids is ODD with poor impulse control so teaching boundaries doesn’t seem like an option. She’s gone for a reasonable compromise to maintain her sanity, which her family is ignoring. NTA.

Give it time and the botulism that grows from garlic in oil will eventually get him. (Tip: don’t make garlic oil unless you really know how to prevent botulism growing in an anaerobic environment).

Pretty sure his partner would be fine with reheated leftovers for lunch as long as it wasn't also reheated leftovers for dinner, so it's really more like one meal a day to cook.

Heck, he can probably still even do the bulk of the work on the weekend if he wants, and make ahead a lasagna to stick in the oven for a weekday. The real issue is that he wants to only cook two meals and not have to do any other work the entire week.

Doesn’t he make himself lunch? In that case, why doesn’t he prepare something for her then? I can’t imagine not irritating myself a meal without doing the same for my wife.

It's all totally moot cause they have a new kid and he passed all that off onto her so there is no equalizing the household effort when he's already fallen so far behind the post only stood out in the first place because wanting personally catered breakfast/lunch/dinner and snacks throughout the day is a ridiculous trade for any household chore which is why home cooking is so uncommon in two income households, the reality is it's basically the most labor intensive thing you can do at home outside of childcare, which OP willfully left out because he's a weeny.

A kid here in the UK with s severe dairy allergy died after another kid threw a piece of cheese at him and it landed on his neck. So i am not sure that the dad did overreact. And if the girlfriend has been dating him for a year and they are experimenting with blending you can bet that it's come up often enough around food and mealtimes that the GF is well aware of it.

There’s a mistake and there’s real negligence with severe consequences. Holding someone responsible for their acts or omissions is not treating them like a slave.
