to think if you want to piss about with your pie...

[halfpastshite]

then do it yourself.

Back story. DH has a tendency to want food a specific way when served. I.e. hamburgers. Meat, then cheese, then tomato, then this, then that...no why are you putting that on first. Etc.

Pie and chips the other night. Must cut top off pie. Put mushy peas in. Put lid back on.

Aibu to say, 'your pie piss about, your issue'. Or am I duty bound to stand around while my dinner gets cold?

[MorphineDreams]

YANBU

Could you be bothered with all that faf? It's his responsibility the loon.

[HecatePropylaea]

Absolutely. Shout him in and tell him it's ready to serve and let him do it himself. Just get yours and eat it. Leave him to it.

[mrstiggy]

Feck no! You want to prat about with your food then you do it! Does he want it spoon fed to him too? Maybe with little aeroplane noises?

[YouTheCat]

Food goes on plate. After that, what happens to it is up to the person who eats it.

With burgers, I put the burger in the bun and everything else is on the plate so people can make it how they like.

[abigamarone]

Why is your dinner going cold if he's cutting the lid off his own pie? Just let him get on with it.

[MorphineDreams]

Why is your dinner going cold if he's cutting the lid off his own pie? Just let him get on with it.

I assume because she's doing it for him?

[abigamarone]

And if you're the one cutting his pie up, you're as daft as he is!

[halfpastshite]

He thinks I'm not completing the meal. He's feeding our DC in the high chair so I should have added that. But still. Surely a bit of salt and pepper I can accommodate but when I stood with him dictating the burger requirements I said from now on you complete your own stupid rituals. I cut the pie lid wrong last time. I ma have just stabbed it.

[ShakeYourTailFeathers]

WTF???

He can decorate his dinner how he sees fit - you just sit down and eat yours.

[halfpastshite]

Thanks. I feel bad that he's feeding dc and that I should somehow be more helpful but I tried to explain that I thought his weird ways were just taking the piss.

[CuttingOutTheCrap]

Is he three years old?

I cut the pie lid wrong last time

He'd be wearing it if I were in your shoes!

[Shesparkles]

He'd be wearing it if I were in your shoes!

He'd be glad to be wearing it if it were me.....I'd be filling it with dog food and not the not very cheap stuff our dog gets!

[halfpastshite]

:)
No he's not three. I don't make his toast.

I sometimes wonder if I made a good husband choice with these quirks. What next?

[Blatherskite]

"I cut the pie lid wrong last time"

This reminds me of the cutted up pear thread :)

[Staryyeyedsurprise]

YANBU but my husband will kick himself that he didn't think of this wonderful idea before now. Peas IN the pie - he'll be in heaven!

[OnIlkleyMoorBahTwat]

But it sounds like the OP's DH does want his food to touch, as long as it is in a particular way.

That was my first thought, 'at least he's not one of those that doesn't allow different types of food to touch each other' but I am aware that food not touching is often an ASD/Aspergers issue so didn't want to mention it.

I do like the peas in pie idea, but I would definitely be making him serve and arrange his own food, if he wanted it any other way than shoved on to a plate.

[MrsCakesPremonition]

It's a fitted up pear thread about a grown man. Behaviour which is frustrating but acceptable (even amusing) in a toddler, is deeply unappealing in an adult.

[MrsCakesPremonition]

Blasted auto correct. Cutted not fitted.

[StillStayingClassySanDiego]

Cut the lid off doesn't it break up, how'd you get the lid back on in one piece?

[Wonc]

My son was angry that I cut his cheese rosaries once.
He was two.

Tell your DH to be grateful.

[Wonc]

Oh for FFS!!!

Cheese toastie. Not cheese rosaries.

No idea where that came from. I'm not even Catholic!

[however]

I saw Jesus in a toasted cheese sandwich, once.

Anyway, carry on.
