Fed up of this!

Several elderly widowers told me in the past”I never realized how hard it was to think of what to have for dinner”
The good thing is you can make what you fancy,I made a master list & when I’m stuck I just look at that,but it is frustrating.

Yes I'm the bearer of all answers!!! We do it well unfortunately! 🤣

It's blissful 😊 living alone!

On our local town forum group, some wit will always answer inane questions with LMGTFY

The funniest question I was ever asked was from my daughter. She went out and missed dinner so when she came in hungry I told her to sort herself out. I’d made a stew and all she had to do was reheat it in the microwave. I told her to make sure it was piping hot. Next thing she asked me how many bubbles there had to be before it was safe to eat lol! When I started to laugh she got very indignant and said it would be my fault if she got food poisenimg. She’d have been about 16 at the time.

Age old question, “what do you fancy for dinner”? DH “oh anything will be fine by me “ “okay we’ll have fish “. DH “ oh l don’t fancy fish “ !!, Sound familiar to anyone??

OMG! I was so lucky with my husband! None of this rubbish.
The only thing he ever did wrong in 57 years was die.

Oh Crosstitchfan, so sorry for your loss. It must have been lovely to have had a good, decent husband.
Yet so heartbreaking for you to lose him. 😔

A friend of mine , when she is fed up with answering questions, decides she will be “Bertha” for the day, and unless they ask Bertha a question she ignores them- they’ve never cottoned on!

I use a menu blackboard with a weeks meals pre-planned written on it. Every day I get asked what I’m planning for dinner. Aaaaarrrrrhhhh!!! And “Do I need a coat?”. I’m pretty fed up with managing a toddler.

I'm so glad everyone is enjoying this post 😁

Oh I am soooo glad it’s not just me. I get so fed up of OH looking for something right in front of his eyes and not seeing it.I wouldn’t mind a one off but this is a constant.

Thank goodness for this post. I thought I was the only one going through this maddening amount of silly questions every morning. It's one after another. Sometimes I just say, "No more questions, please."

Do you think it's going to rain?

Or, do I need an umbrella. Have you seem my keys anywhere.

I don’t know, but this usually starts at the beginning of your time together - you are so kind, helpful, you sort, do and now …. perhaps not enjoying so much. I’ve just arrived on this group, so forgive me, but ladies, women whatever might be
allowed, we are different from men - I spoke about this subject to a male friend and his reply - it’s not that we don’t want to, but generally ‘you want to take over, so why do it, if you do’ - I know from experience he is right - but it can always be changed if we don’t nag! We do create our own ‘girlie’ things - we do, if you take the time to really think about what we do, you can also fix it. I hope your responses won’t be too unkind!

I wouldn’t ask what people want to eat, just say ‘we’re having xxx’, if they don’t fancy it, they can sort themselves out.
Google is their friend for a lot of daft questions.
Fortunately I don’t have the problems the OP has, maybe because people know me better 🙂

Me too 😄

So glad I dodged the bullet on family life. Always taking responsibility for other people who act like small children.

Well tbf some of them are actually small children, grandchildren 😃
Family life has its ups and downs but generally more ups than downs fortunately.

I must have ben about 13 when I shouted up the stairs "Mum, wheres my gym shoes?". Next moment I was knocked across the room by my father who told me never again to shout at my mother like that and to "Look after your own stuff."

Sharp lesson. I never did that again.

I don’t doubt it.Poor you.☹️

Oh dear, biglouis, that's awful.
No child deserves that.

What time should we leave ? I then come up with an answer, then himself says ‘oh I think we should leave a little earlier than that’. 🤪

We should all change our name to Google!
You are so right.

Think how you would feel if they stopped needing you? It really is a compliment.

Time for a cooking rota if you have adult children at home… less pressure for you and good training for them!

My husband sometimes spends time looking for something, when I ask what are you looking for he always replies …… nothing. Is he the only man that wastes so much time looking for nothing!

My daughter messages me to ask time of local to her buses. She'd be quicker looking up bus timetable.!
