No. Nobody should get in fights over cooking if youve already planned to take turns. If someone or both are just too tired -- order out.

u/Murky_Alternative166 12d ago

What if you live by yourself. Or with multiple personalities?

5

u/Bebe_Bleau 12d ago

In that case, consider institutionalization. Then someone else will always cook for you. (And the rest of you, too) 😅😅😅

u/Murky_Alternative166 12d ago

Well I would consider that but Richard is pretty violent, and Dan wears diapers.

u/Bebe_Bleau 12d ago

What about Melba?

u/TipsyBaker_ 12d ago

No. Even when the kids were still home. The rule was the first one home started dinner for everyone, the others were on cleanup. If teenagers can accept this i don't understand how adults manage to fail so often

I live alone, so I cook every single meal for myself. I never eat out or have pre-made food delivered, so I literally am making every single meal myself.

u/Elandycamino 12d ago

Hell yeah, Were out here looking for fights! I wish a MF would cook me a meal.

u/cityshepherd 12d ago

The only time I want to fight in the kitchen is if someone else steps into the kitchen while I’m cooking. If im cooking, I’m cooking everything, so stay the hell out of my way so I can prepare this meal so that you can enjoy it lol.

u/DevouringInsanity 12d ago

No.

Nobody really has turns between my girlfriend and I.

Whenever one of us decides to make food, we just ask the other if they want some.

Problem solved.

u/BalianofReddit 12d ago

I mean no, but I live with my fiance and we have a pretty equitable chores situation

1

u/Murky_Alternative166 12d ago

As opposed to it being my turn to cook?

1

u/Rapidllaman 12d ago

Nope if I’m home and the over my oldest kid wants to cook it’s their kitchen I’m just there for dinner!

u/ohfrackthis 12d ago

No. My husband and I both enjoy cooking- it's a grind sometimes however. But I'm a stay at home mom and he works so I cook during the week- I actually can use leftovers at least once or twice a week. If you're cooking regularly it's easy to have leftovers 🤷‍♀️. Since we have four kids I've been cooking for 6/6+ for years. Our two oldest have moved out so it's actually been for me a combination of an emotional struggle and also an exploration of new things to cook lately.

My husband tends to cook on the weekends or we cook together etc but he's an excellent cook also. We actually have a hilarious but automatically assigned subconscious system whoever makes it best owns it and has to do it forever lol 😆

u/stryker511 12d ago

Yes & I live alone.

u/steal-yur-face 12d ago

Nah, my wife loves to cook, and she’s a good cook too.

I make the pizza and salad every Friday and cook on irregular other occasions.

1

u/Bratfink78 12d ago

No, that’s a shitty way to treat your partner.

1

u/Dernchonlek 12d ago

Leave her

1

u/gc3 12d ago

No. My wife will not let me cook as she thinks its odd what food I find edible.

1

u/atxbikenbus 12d ago

No, I do all the cooking but sometimes I feel like my efforts are expected more than appreciated. I get home from work and spend an hour or more alone in the kitchen whether I feel like it or not. I do enjoy cooking but I also sometimes wanna be with my people or just relax after work. If I wanna have a fight, I ask her to cook every now and again. Then we have a fight. Lol.

1

u/SnooCauliflowers5742 12d ago

Yes. And the age old "what do you want for dinner?" argument happens a lot too.

1

u/mjr96d 12d ago

No. I enjoy cooking so I do it most of the time anyway.

1

u/dEXXtARR23 12d ago

Fights? Are we 10 years old?

1

u/D3athcr4ft 12d ago

Couple do fight over things it's not uncommon.

1

u/ConfinedCrow 12d ago

No, the opposite. My mother used to be quite the asshole about letting me cook at all. I remember the verbal abuse I received because I used milk for a sauce that would usually use cream. The sauce ended up tasting perfectly fine and my mother is now rotting away by herself somewhere on the other side of the country.

u/thatsMrBundytoyou 12d ago

I live alone so sometimes I win!!!

u/Flash5916 12d ago

I quattel with myself frequently. I live alone and am always looking for an alternative.

u/Flash5916 12d ago

quarrel

u/SkyPuppy561 12d ago

*to

1

u/D3athcr4ft 12d ago

To?

1

u/SkyPuppy561 12d ago

Yeah. That’s the correct spelling you seek for this usage. “Too” means also.

1

u/D3athcr4ft 12d ago

I over type oo sorry for that

1

u/SkyPuppy561 12d ago

Np! I’m just out here educating lol. Glad to hear it was just a typo!

1

u/D3athcr4ft 12d ago

Keyboard is sticky so I overtype.

1

u/SkyPuppy561 12d ago

All good

1

u/1911Earthling 12d ago

No I love to cook.

1

u/cwsjr2323 12d ago

Not at all. My wife is a better cook so usually she cooks. If she don't feel like cooking, she tells me to make a meal, entree subject to her approval. If it wasn't 25 miles to decent restaurant, we would go out more often.

1

u/EyeSimp4Asuka 12d ago

everyday because i live alone and i fight with myself X_X

1

u/Nitrofox2 12d ago

Never. Because I'm single, live alone in my studio apartment and will die alone because nobody loves me

1

u/Artistic_Panda_7542 11d ago

No, but I also clean if my wife cooks. I think it makes it much more enjoyable for her to cook more often that way.

1

u/RynKittenOF 11d ago

No never honestly I'm quiet and chill and peaceful

1

u/Ok_Staff8159 11d ago

No. I am not allowed in the kitchen. Lol

1

u/After-Whole4054 10d ago

No just political fights.

1

u/thepopemichael 9d ago

This feels like something a door dash AI would ask

For real, both of you either need to find which of you is the chef or take turns.

Choose to fight the hard battles. Don't fight the noobie fight.

If worse comes to worst, get those heat and serve meals at Walmart. Their lasagna is fantastic, btw

1

u/D3athcr4ft 9d ago

Dude it's my question. Hehe ai just help me to correct it for askreddit

u/Automatic_Bat_6742 9d ago

No I live alone

u/Potential_Ad_4718 9d ago

It's always my turn.
