please suggest punishment for OH!!

I'm so cross!
I made a cider chicken and mushroom casserole for tea, with mash. When we'd finished there was a lot of sauce left and some mash, I said to OH "please don't throw the sauce away I'm going to freeze it and use it with pork or something, I'll freeze the mash too." I specifically asked him to pour the sauce back in the pan and leave mash in bowl.
So I was surprised to find the mash in the the bowl swimming on sauce. When questioned, I get "I thought that's what you said". Makes perfect sense right?

I'm tempted to get him to make more mash just so I can freeze it! Am sick of being the only one to cook, EVER.

I bet I sound like I'm over-reacting, I just don't understand why he'd do that and think it was what I'd asked!

Grrrr.

and breathe......

He's having a blonde moment... we all do sometimes. My husband would probably do the same or he'd eat it. Chalk it up to experience and have a nice glass of wine or something...

Or you could lock him in a cellar wearing nothing but a blindfold, handcuffs and his pants and throw mushrooms at him....

Declare one night a week his cooking night. I did this and now, every wednesday get a delicious tea!!! On weds, i don't get anything out the freezer, shop or otherwise. It is entirely hos responsibility.
Worked for me and he now appreciates what I do more!! (cos I do the other 6 dayS!!)

:rotfl:Just read radiohelen's suggestion of throwing mushrooms at him!!

Did that with my OH and now its become takeaway night! Not quite what I wanted but I suppose at least I don't have to cook.

hmmmm - I hope you froze it anyway? then you can reheat it and serve it up as is!
not really a punishment though as i bet it would be delicious!

Afraid not, it looks disgusting, its all smooshed together more like a soup now! And just been in kitchen again; he's washed up but left the bowl of sludge, no idea what he thinks I'm gonna do with it! Was wanting to freeze mash in two portions for kids teas on the odd night we have something different.

Nice idea, tried before, failed. I bought him a cookbook aimed at absolute beginners, asked him to pick one meal in it and make it, make the same meal every week if he wanted to till he felt confident with it. He's not cooked once yet from it and I bought it over 18 months ago.

Kym, listen to an (ahem) older woman....
1. Keep the sludge and add it to a chicken and mushroom, or a pork and mushroom stew or something.
2. Men have selective hearing. They only hear you when you say something to them, like, "Would you like another beer darling"?
3. Just do it yourself. At least you know it will get done properly.
4. Make him take you out for a meal if he won't help with things, he can feel it in his wallet. Just refuse to cook.
5. Roll the cookbook up, get him to touch his toes and shove it where the sun don't shine.

Men need to be trained.

I hope you realise that this post is mostly tongue in cheek. I have a rather warped sense of humour.

Thanks parsonswife, I really appreciate the humour
Just feeling sorry for myself y'know? I mealplan and shop and cook and clean and all the usual junk and just when I think I cam save a few pennies by freezing something...ahhh.

Ok I'm a bit calmer now

Never mind honey, I have been there, done that, sometimes they just take you for granted, maybe not really meaning to.

Cheer up (((((hugs to you)))):)

It really helps to vent! I would freeze it as is and then serve it to him in a few days for his tea while you and the kids tuck into something tasty!
