That will probably change when a LO comes a long and I'm running things at home while he is at work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ask-what-your-so-wants-for-meals-or-do-you-just-make-it#post-540566 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 16:38:22 +0000 Pirouette 540566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>sometimes. other times if i know what i want ill just pick it up, and if he's disappointed, he doesn't show it. i think he's just happy enough to come home to a meal on the table! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ask-what-your-so-wants-for-meals-or-do-you-just-make-it#post-540563 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 16:37:36 +0000 prettylizy 540563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A little of both. We try and meal plan together, but then when it comes to cooking time he's at my mercy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ask-what-your-so-wants-for-meals-or-do-you-just-make-it#post-540556 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 16:36:43 +0000 Adira 540556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only ask if I'm hoping he'll make dinner or to see if he's good with take-out, haha. Otherwise I just make whatever I feel like making and he can deal with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ask-what-your-so-wants-for-meals-or-do-you-just-make-it#post-540555 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 16:36:36 +0000 Mrs. Pen 540555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I meal plan I ask for his input and usually run the list by him to make sure he likes it. He's not picky though - so it's easy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ask-what-your-so-wants-for-meals-or-do-you-just-make-it#post-540545 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 16:35:33 +0000 runsyellowlites 540545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We meal plan so I ask him what he wants for the week. If I ask him what he wants that day it always ends up being the 1 or 2 meals out of the list that take the absolute longest to prepare... it never fails. I seriously hate asking him. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ask-what-your-so-wants-for-meals-or-do-you-just-make-it#post-540534 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 16:33:49 +0000 sera_87 540534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll ask what he feels like for dinner, if he doesn't have an answer then I make whatever I want. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ask-what-your-so-wants-for-meals-or-do-you-just-make-it#post-540490 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 16:27:11 +0000 lovehoneybee 540490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I'm planning out meals I'll ask for his input and if he has a specific request I'll usually make it but otherwise I make what I feel like and he'll eat whatever's put in front of him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ask-what-your-so-wants-for-meals-or-do-you-just-make-it#post-538505 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 09:57:23 +0000 oliviaoblivia 538505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just make it. My sisters MIL hands her husband menu cards every weekend and he picks what he wants for the week. I like that system, but it would require a heck of a lot more organization on my part. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ask-what-your-so-wants-for-meals-or-do-you-just-make-it#post-538492 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 09:54:37 +0000 chopsuey 538492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ask but usually make what's convenient. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ask-what-your-so-wants-for-meals-or-do-you-just-make-it#post-538476 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 09:50:08 +0000 Alivoo01 538476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always ask the hubby if he has special requests but 9 out 10 times, he doesn't and says he'll eat whatever I make. However, sometimes during the week when he asks what's on the menu that night, he'll say he's not feeling it and we'll either go out to eat or he/I'll make something else instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ask-what-your-so-wants-for-meals-or-do-you-just-make-it#post-538469 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 09:48:21 +0000 blackbird 538469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I meal plan and ask what he wants to eat that week. Sometimes he has a couple suggestions, but he usually doesn't care. I run the menu by him, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ask-what-your-so-wants-for-meals-or-do-you-just-make-it#post-538446 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 09:43:59 +0000 autumnlove 538446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't ask. He might ask for something specific once a month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ask-what-your-so-wants-for-meals-or-do-you-just-make-it#post-538443 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 09:43:35 +0000 duckduckkristen 538443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to ask, but he would always tell me to make whatever I want. He's not picky. We've been together long enough that I know what his favorites are so I try to make those on a regular basis, along with some of my favorites and some new recipes. DH loves everything so it's pretty easy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ask-what-your-so-wants-for-meals-or-do-you-just-make-it#post-538408 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 09:35:30 +0000 yellowbird 538408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We meal plan, and we decide together night to night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ask-what-your-so-wants-for-meals-or-do-you-just-make-it#post-538395 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 09:32:49 +0000 nana87 538395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>dh does the majority of the cooking, but he usually asks what I want. we often will decide together after brainstorming about what we have in the fridge </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ask-what-your-so-wants-for-meals-or-do-you-just-make-it#post-538360 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 09:23:04 +0000 Smurfette 538360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ask him every Sunday before I go to the grocery store and he usually says he doesn't know what he is going to want to eat that week. So I end up just picking everything, for the most part. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ask-what-your-so-wants-for-meals-or-do-you-just-make-it#post-538352 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 09:21:26 +0000 MamaMoose 538352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We meal plan together and go shopping together on the weekend. I pick what meal we have on what night though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ask-what-your-so-wants-for-meals-or-do-you-just-make-it#post-538337 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 09:18:12 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 538337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do and he usually doesn't have an opinion or will request pasts- spaghetti or shrimp scampi. He hates when I ask for his input.</p> <p>What kills me is he will ask what I made and gets dissappointed. Really!? You had the opportunity to make a request. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ask-what-your-so-wants-for-meals-or-do-you-just-make-it#post-538318 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 09:12:55 +0000 Running Elley 538318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I meal plan and I just make it. DH is a pretty easygoing guy though who will eat just about anything and be happy! I used to ask him but id get the "it doesn't matter to me" every time so I stopped :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ask-what-your-so-wants-for-meals-or-do-you-just-make-it#post-538315 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 09:11:39 +0000 Mrsbells 538315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>for me its 50/50 sometimes I ask and sometimes I dont </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ask-what-your-so-wants-for-meals-or-do-you-just-make-it#post-538312 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 09:10:49 +0000 heartonastring 538312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I menu plan every weekend and ask him at that time if there's anything in particular he'd like during the week ahead. If he says no then I just make whatever I decide on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ask-what-your-so-wants-for-meals-or-do-you-just-make-it#post-538310 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 09:10:09 +0000 Grace 538310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just make it. Annoyingly DH likes to ask me what I want him to make. All I want is some food that I didn't have to make or think about! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ask-what-your-so-wants-for-meals-or-do-you-just-make-it#post-538301 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 09:08:29 +0000 LuLu Mom 538301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on the day, sometimes I will call him and say "I have chicken on the menu, what would you like me to do with it" or I'll just say "we are having X for dinner!" Just depends if I'm feeling nice or not :) haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ask-what-your-so-wants-for-meals-or-do-you-just-make-it#post-538300 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 09:07:58 +0000 Charm54 538300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same - I usually just make it, unless I'm trying to decide between two things or heading to the grocery store - then ill ask his opinion! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ask-what-your-so-wants-for-meals-or-do-you-just-make-it#post-538293 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 09:06:30 +0000 Bao 538293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually ask DH what he wants for meals when going to the store, but if I am making dinner I will usually just make whatever so it is ready when he gets home from work. </p>
