So i usually cook a week worth of food for myself. I prep meat, veggies and beans, fruits into portion controlled bags and containers. I live on a tight budget and I'm very mindful of how much I spend. I cook about 60 portions a week for myself. Usually the same thing through out the week with carrots, peas, corn, beans, etc. <br><br>This week I got a call from my husband at work. He was expecting me to have food done for him for the week. Which I assumed he was joking. I told him that's not financially in my budget to do that. <br>I was like listen you don't even like half the stuff I cook into the week and some of the things I prep are literally frozen veggies, could you just buy that yourself if you want it? <br><br>He said no because he wants me to make sure he doesn't have to do anything. He even wanted me to do his batch cooking in a completely different way then what I do for myself. He said he in the gym 5 times a week and that I'm not. That he needs to eat more. I'm like but why do you want to go with a completely different meal then me. He was so angry and he wanted me to go back home and make a fresh pack of stuff for him. On top of that he wanted me to do his meal prep differently then myself. <br><br>I was like that's insane and I'm not doing that especially since we're planning on having a baby hopefully by end of this year. I don't want to be financially strained especially if I'm going to be out of work. <br><br>I told him I can do a few extra portions but not like 60. He got into a really bad mood with me and he was mad that I'm not doing it for him. <br><br>I guess what I want to know is how do you handle your partner wanting you to do more meal prep for them? I know some here make 60 portions at a time. But most of you guys take up a greater portion of the time to prepare food in the first place. I'm just a little confused how did your partner ever convince you to do all of that work.
