It's nice :) today I had an evening client meeting, and so I prepped and started the jambalaya. then I gave him directions on how to finish cooking it before I left... And it was ready to eat when I got home. Tag team cooking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-and-your-so-divide-cooking#post-387685 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 21:18:43 +0000 DillonLion 387685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I either do the cooking or we eat something really, really simple for dinner (like cereal or ramen or something) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-and-your-so-divide-cooking#post-387678 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 21:17:51 +0000 pastemoo 387678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to be a house wife (briefly) and a teacher (for awhile)--and DH used to cook once a month or so... but when I got a job with a huge commute I fell apart and asked him for help.<br /> We started with each cooking 3x/week, and the 7th day we'd cook together or eat out or do something easy like "from frozen" stuff.</p> <p>Since LO arrived, he has cooked twice. LO is 5 months but I am a SAHM now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-and-your-so-divide-cooking#post-387667 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 21:14:46 +0000 Sweet T 387667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: this is too funny!</p> <p>I do 98% of the cooking and we eat out two or three times a month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-and-your-so-divide-cooking#post-387626 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 21:03:44 +0000 littlek 387626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't cook. I can bake though. DH cooks all of our meals and I make desserts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-and-your-so-divide-cooking#post-387622 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 21:03:21 +0000 heartonastring 387622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both love to cook, but DH gets home too late through the week to cook. So I cook on week nights and DH cooks on weekends. We get take out on Friday nights. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-and-your-so-divide-cooking#post-387607 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:59:37 +0000 heffalump 387607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do it all. But I get migraines so I cant always cook....and he'll get us take out. It works for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-and-your-so-divide-cooking#post-387330 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:15:58 +0000 Turd Ferguson 387330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's kind of tough; DH travels about 80% for work, so he isn't home often. </p> <p>He'll usually be back on the weekends or for a day or two here and there, and we'll usually just order food in (awful, I know). If he is home for an extended period of time, he gets bored so he'll cook while I'm at work. Other times, he usually handles making/grilling meat/main dish, and I'll take care of the potatoes/salads/sides/etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-and-your-so-divide-cooking#post-387326 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:15:16 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 387326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i cook. he eats. :)</p> <p>my husband can make cereal. that's about it. i guess i can also give him a little credit for grilling, but just a little. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-and-your-so-divide-cooking#post-387321 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:14:49 +0000 chopsuey 387321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do all of it. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-and-your-so-divide-cooking#post-387315 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:14:04 +0000 prettylizy 387315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm on maternity leave right now so I get dinner prepared most nights, if it's not finished by the time he gets home, he'll pitch in and finish. DH makes breakfast on weekends and we just talked about it last week and he is going to pick up a little weekend dinner slack now too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-and-your-so-divide-cooking#post-387303 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:11:30 +0000 luckypenny 387303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't. I do all the cooking while he puts DD to bed </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-and-your-so-divide-cooking#post-387302 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:11:20 +0000 Bao 387302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is the meat guy and I do the sides, a lot of the time though its a pretty easy meal because DH works 2nd shift so we don't go all out for lunch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-and-your-so-divide-cooking#post-387301 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:11:05 +0000 NerdBee 387301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since I'm on mat leave, I cook on weekdays and he cooks on the weekend. But normally he does most of the cooking while I clean up afterwards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-and-your-so-divide-cooking#post-387272 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:07:03 +0000 Ra 387272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Either I cook or he buys me dinner. I'm pretty ok with that :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-and-your-so-divide-cooking#post-386996 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 19:15:09 +0000 regberadaisy 386996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: ooh breakfast for dinner! :)))</p> <p>We're pretty even in cooking. Depends on what we're making. Lately since I'm home I do more of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-and-your-so-divide-cooking#post-386989 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 19:13:03 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 386989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do all the cooking. I enjoy it and he doesn't. He also doesn't complain when I need a break from it and we have to get take out or eat cereal. Tonight is one of those nights. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-and-your-so-divide-cooking#post-386983 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 19:11:42 +0000 MaisyMay 386983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cook. Hubs doesn't. He's great about running out to pick up food though. And because he doesn't cook, he doesn't give me a hard time if we eat pretty much the same thing several days in a row. Also, he does ALL of the dishes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-and-your-so-divide-cooking#post-386845 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 18:26:45 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 386845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband enjoys cooking, so we're pretty even on this one. I think he would like it if he didn't have to cook on week nights, but it's hard for me because I put the baby to bed every night right around dinner time, so it makes more sense if he starts cooking while I'm busy nursing/rocking/etc. We are guilty of getting takeout a lot, though. It's just too hard to cook every meal with our schedules. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-and-your-so-divide-cooking#post-386842 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 18:24:43 +0000 Freckles 386842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cook lunch/dinner during the week and DH is SUPPOSED to cook on the weekends, but i still end up making lunches which annoys me. I don't mind cooking, but i hate that i have to stress out about what we're going to eat at the last minute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-and-your-so-divide-cooking#post-386839 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 18:23:13 +0000 MediaNaranja 386839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha, you guys are funny :) </p> <p>I cook T/Th, DH M/W, Friday we usually go out or get takeout, and we cook together on weekends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-and-your-so-divide-cooking#post-386836 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 18:21:38 +0000 mrbee 386836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: I hope you like eggs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-and-your-so-divide-cooking#post-386832 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 18:18:40 +0000 Mrs. Bee 386832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do all the cooking, except Mr. Bee makes eggs with Charlie every morning, and we almost never eat out. But I just asked Mr. Bee to prepare one meal a week. I hate cooking! He said maybe he'll try cooking on weekends.</p> <p>How do you and your SO divide cooking? </p>
