Who cooks dinner?

In my house, it's mostly a "whoever's home first" rule, which means mostly DH. When I'm not working I'm in charge though. I also take over on days when he is being lazy, but I'm usually grumpy about it.

For the most part, it is me. I am home 2 hours before DH. On the weekends, he does the grilling...

Always DH.

If we had that rule, I would stay late every night.

this is us, too...basically. I like it and during the week he is busier with school. On weekends, he always asks me if I want him to cook.

ME, every night. If I leave it up to DH, he gets take-out. He never cooks. Heck, he doesn't even grill, I do that!

Barb, we could perhaps open a midnight shopper's club together.

Re: Who cooks dinner?

no real rule - just whoever feels like doing it on a given night

Mostly me. I love to cook, and I also plan the week's meals so I know exactly what that jar of capers is for or what sides we're having with the main dish.

DH would just throw stuff together willy-nilly and I can't allow that...

Re: Who cooks dinner?

I've never really learned how to cook. Went from Mom's house, to college, to living with DW. I mean I *can* cook if I have to, but it takes me forever, and I'm not comfortable there. DW, however, is a great cook, loves to experiment, and is so much more comfortable in the kitchen than me.

Re: Who cooks dinner?

I'm home 2-3 hours before DH so I cook. However, if DH "cooked" we'd be eating salami and cheese every night for dinner

this is EXACTLY how we do it too! we both get home early, so he chops up any veggies we need and measures any seasonings while i take care of any meat. its nice to be able to cook together because one of us doesn't feel like we're doing all the work, and its a fun way to catch up and vent about our day at work...

I had to choose "other"!! Chat Icon

Since Kevin gets home from work so late I just make something for myself to eat, then we he gets home I make him a salad.

On the weekends, we often cook together. Or if one of us cooks, then the other cleans up.

He cooks dinner. Pretty much always unless he leaves clear and specific directions for me.
