Woman Gets Bashed By Her Friend For The Dinner She Prepared, Asks The Internet Who’s Wrong
Everybody loves a good homemade meal – that’s a fact; it’s just that we’re all busy people who, at times, need to seek a bit of help from a pack of frozen breaded chicken!
Sadly, though, some folks hold a different opinion and might even go as far as to blast their pal for preparing a convenient pre-packaged dinner for their husband.

“Am I being unreasonable for telling my ‘friend’ that my husband isn’t her concern?” – this netizen took to Mumsnet, a London-based internet forum, to ask its members if she was wrong for lashing out at her pal who bashed the dinner she made for her spouse. The post garnered over 4K votes, with 98% voting for “you aren’t being unreasonable.”
Control over ingredients, nutritional awareness, customization, cost-effectiveness, improved cooking skills, quality family time – it doesn’t take a genius to know that homemade meals are nothing but superior!
Yes, every now and then, we all love to grab a bit of street food or crash at our favorite fast-food joint after a long night out – however, nothing beats a good old roast dinner that was kindly made by your loved one; but here’s the thing, loved ones get tired too.
Every single one of us (or at least the majority) lives a very active life.
We work, commute, do household chores, socialize, go to random meetings and appointments, run errands, attend school, and take care of our children – in short, sometimes, we simply don’t have the energy to do anything, let alone treat our close ones to culinary delights.
It seems that it would be a straightforward notion; I mean, everybody is an adult, and you’re not obligated to cook for your other half when you yourself have just finished toiling away in the office and taking care of your kid.
But, for some puzzling reason, it turns out there are people who think that serving your significant other some frozen breaded chicken is a crime!

Now, the author of today’s story is 100% sure that she wasn’t being unreasonable – however, she still decided to double-check it with the internet crowd.
The Mumsnet member and her husband both work full-time, stressful jobs, yet it seems that the man’s workplace is a tad bit more lenient. The woman often brings work home, and she’s always taking care of their little one, so technically, she has just a little more responsibilities.
One day, when both she and her husband had long and tiring days, she decided to whip out some frozen breaded chicken, make roasted garlic potatoes with salad, and call it a day; the husband was ecstatic, and there were no complaints!
However, when she mentioned that to her friend later, the woman practically bashed the OP and said that with such a “low-quality and low-effort” meal, her husband might leave her for someone who actually puts effort in.
Naturally, the netizen refused to listen to this nonsense and straight-up told the pal to go screw herself.

So person who had affair with married man and showed her best side now struggling to keep up her own standards and projecting instead. What are the odds that person doesn't have a full time job? And yes, he's going to leave you too one day, mistress - it's a pattern.
Right, the ppl who tell you what and how to do things, are those who end up being f****d over themselves
Load More Replies...YANBU, "you are not being unreasonable". Had too DuckDuckGo-it to understand. So maybe someone else was wondering.
Thanks. I was confused but didn’t care enough to look it up.
Load More Replies...Why is anyone else's opinion even needed if the husband is fine with the arrangement? And why shouldn't he be when his wife is still taking on the "traditional" mom role along with working full time? That friend and anyone who agrees with her should be out on the curb with the rest of the trash.
"I was taking my friend to get coffee and a blind, crippled orphan puppy with cancer crossed the street. I stopped to avoid hitting him. Now my friend is mad because her cup of coffee wasn't that good and she says if we'd have gotten there on time it would have been. AITA?" 🙄 These posts just kill me. It's never like 50/50 or even 40/60. It's always 99/1. I just assume they're either karma farming, cultivating s****y friends as a form of deep seated masochistic self-harm, or need public scorn to heap upon an acquaintance. Maybe I'm just cynical. Idk.
Load More Replies...If I have to be a slave to my husband so he won't leave me, I sure will leave him.
You seem remarkably well-adjusted and sane. Probably should avoid reddit. It's not for people like you. ;)
Load More Replies...I work a 12 hour shift and mostly get home around 8pm. When I get home, I check on our animals, walk the dogs (with my wife), then I prepare and make dinner. We eat around 10-10:30PM, and go to bed around midnight. I'm fecking knackered! So what the heck does my wife do??? Well... My wife works 5AM till 1 PM (she goes without a break so she can leave earlier), then she feeds and cleans out the donkeys, ponies & all the other animals. Then she walks & feeds our 4 dogs. Then she'll stop of a bite to eat, before she allows herself a 30 min nap. Then she's doing any laundry & cleaning that needs doing. Then she'll spend a bit of time checking our finances and dealing with any post or emails we might have received and hopefully finish just in time to take the laundry out of the machine, before taking care of anything else I haven't even considered. If she does any more for me, it'll kill her! As tired as I am, I'd be happy to help more when I get home, because I know her worth!
You're a good man, Charlie Brown 😉 I'm sure your wife appreciates you as being a good man; and all the things you do. Kudos.
Load More Replies...OP and her husband r good with their routine, so it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks
Someone's projecting her anxieties... and is possibly a little jealous/envious that another woman doesn't have to be perfect. The friend's husband must be holding "perfection" over her head. It doesn't sound like a happy marriage. On the other hand, the OP's husband sounds wonderful - not only doing his share and appreciating her, but "Husband says I'm in the right." He agrees with her telling the friend to f**k off 🥰
"My husband is still with me while yours is the kind of guy who can be bribed away from his spouse if he doesn't have to do the dishes. Thanks for the unsolicited advice, but I think I'll continue with my strategy."

Bro. She wants your husband. Or she's just a helpless psycho. Give me some chicken tenders and tator tots. A salad would be a bonus. Sure on the weekends or if you have an extra short day, go all out and make homemade apple pie and pick the escargot fresh from the garden. But most days? Ain't nobody got time for that. Craycray lady needs to grow up. I work full time, wife is between jobs. There's 7 people in this house. I make dinner 2 nights a week, other adult does 2 nights, and wife does 2.5 (a kid theoretically does it one night a week.) If we had no kids I'd stand at the fridge and eat shredded cheese, strips of lunch meat, and random pickles or olives for half my meals. Any time another human cooks for you it's a fantastic gift. If you don't like it or don't want to eat it, cope. Like an adult.
