So,... I don't know if my ultimatum did something,...

FDH was just trying to be nice, or trying to be a smart ass....

But anyways, I had two different kind of fish thawing in the fridge yesterday for supper last night....
And I usually get home earlier than FDH, but when I pulled up to the house I smelled the grill...
Come inside, FDH immediately informed me that he put hotdogs on the grill and pulled out leftovers (including the pizza wraps from last night) and said we were going to clean out the fridge.
Then in the same breath said, unless you were going to do something with that fish,...

I just said, "no thats fine, we can eat fish another night"
And sat down to eat the hotdogs,...

***so I'm interested in what the kids are going to roast over the fire tomorrow for the 4th of july, since the hotdogs are gone***

But I didn't say a word,...

I guess we are going to eat baked fish on the 4th???

He was probably trying to be an ass. Do you think he will try to get you to go to the store to cook something tomorrow?

I just read your earlier blog and it was as I expected, and I'm horrified at your awful sks. And I am equally horrified that your DH didn't scold them right then and there, but that's typical. How dare they behave in that manner. I would have snatched all of their plates and maybe even DH's for not standing up for me in front of the kids, and thrown them all in the trash. Then I would have thrown away the strawberries and any other sweets or junk food they might enjoy.

I could go on but I'm really just so angry for you and sorry you have to put up with this.

By the way I don't cook for SS at all. I just stopped doing it. I do absolutely nothing for him. Well I did give him some pointers in making brownies but that's it.

It's not to be mean, it's just that I cannot put myself in a position to be disrespected any more.

And what have I done while SS was away at his mom's for a month? I cooked all the time for SO and myself, and SO loved it.

What's going to happen when SS gets back in a couple of days? Cooking is going to dramatically decrease. And I will be cooking nothing that his son likes. So SO will still have to resume cooking for his son again.

I really wish you the best, and you showed great restraint, more than I could have.

My DH always had a thing about asking the SK's if they "liked" what we were having for dinner (or lunch). Of course, the stock answer would be, "It's OK. Not the way Mom makes it, cause Mom's a really good cook, and she'd do X and Y and it would be amazing!"

I told my DH to stop opening up the door for that shit... he knew a long time ago that I hate to cook, I'm NOT good at it, and the LAST thing I want is Emeril and Bobby Flay across the table telling me about Paula Deen's home cookin'
