I wanted to throw the pancakes right in his face 😐
It finally hit me that my husband is very unappreciative of the things I do around here. Especially when it comes to meals. I do all the grocery shopping, meal prepping, cooking said meals, clearing the table, putting away leftovers, AND doing the dishes after. Last night I made shrimp po’boys & sweet potato fries & even added catfish to his per his request. Took me about an hour & a half to get everything ready. Fed the kids & made his plate. Went upstairs to change our 19 month old. Came back to eat my food (which was pretty much cold at this point). I wasn’t met with a “thank you for making dinner tonight” or “I really liked xyz.” Only a “here’s 3 things I would have done differently” and lists 3 things about he food he would change. And im sitting there like 😐low key wanting to knock everything off the table but I let him finish and I continued to eat my food in silence. This morning after being up kinda late trying to get our little one to sleep, I still managed to get up early to make breakfast for everyone. I cook and lay out all the food on the table. He comes down stairs and makes a kinda disgusted face & says “why did you make the pancakes so light?” 🫠🫠🫠🫠 not good morning or thank you for making breakfast. But why. did. you. make. the. pancakes. so. light 😐😐😐😐 I wanted to throw the pancakes dead in his face. I told him he could put them in the oven if they’re too light and now he’s giving me the silent treatment. Wtf.

In short- fuck that. I am in a similar boat of having to do everything for our kid and still manage the house. My husband is a firefighter so is gone 2-3 days at a time including nights then comes home for 1-2 days. I had post partum rage and had he done shit like that I WOULD have thrown the plate 😅. Sounds like you need to have a chat with your husband about either a division of labor OR at least him being vocal about being appreciative.
You’re an amazing momma! Don’t sell yourself short or allow bad behavior when you’re taking care of the household!
You are better than me. Those pancakes woulda been flying.
I would absolutely tell him that nothing is stopping him making his own food to his liking!
Next time do it. I would go tf off and that would be the last time I make anything
He would be cooking his own food. Make enough for only you and the kids and let him figure his own out.
Oh we would not get to the pancake situation. Would have thrown something at dinner. This is unacceptable. I hope you are telling him to F* off. You are not his maid. I hope you are pissed enough to stop that because no woman should be treated like that at home.
