Anyone else’s husband like to throw out their lunch and then just get fast food? I go out to his truck to collect my dishes, and I always find his sandwiches and what not laying around and tons of fast-food wrappers. I’m sick of him wasting money because he has to eat fast food. I would love it if someone made me a lunch every day half the time I don’t even get one!
Too dumb to get rid of the evidence
I would stop making him lunches.
Stop making him lunches and don’t have the lunch food available in your house.
Stop making him lunch!
I mean the simple solution is to stop making him lunch.
Don’t make the lunches
Stop making him lunches then? If he keeps doing it and you know he’s wasting the food just quit doing it.
Think shes mad cus shes wanting to save and hes just wasting food AND not saving money. Either way, throw the whole dude away.
Then don’t make i anymore…
Okay not making the lunches solves the waste of food. But I’d be concerned about the money hes spending.id have a discussion about solving that problem to. Unless your well off and can afford it . Then well just stop making the lunches
Take his bank card away before work and have a discussion with him
Stop making him lunch.
Report his bank card as lost then it won’t work anymore problem.solved
Stop making him lunch and Stop wasting the money on buying the stuff to make his lunches. He’s going to throw it out either way and continue to buy takeaway so no point double spending or wasting your time
Keep those for yourself.
Stop making lunches I used to go through this with mine he threw his away in trash and went to fast food so I just quit making them
Make the lunch… and then eat it yourself
Stop making him food
And your going out to his truck to clean up his dishes? Lmao!! He’s broken Get rid of him
Maybe sit down with him and find out why he’s not eating the lunches you make. Maybe he doesn’t like what you prepare. This would also be a good time to discuss with him that you can’t afford for him to be eating fast food for lunch.
Then stop making him lunch. Easy fix.
Maybe stop wasting money by making him a lunch when clearly he doesn’t want/like it. Problem solved
I’m petty enough I would follow him when he takes lunch and find out where he’s going to eat and then before he even takes a bite of said fast food sludge I would slap it out of his hand like a toddler and then throw his sandwich in his face…that or start a movement like Bam did for his dad when he did the whole Don’t feed Phil thing post his pictures up at all the fast food joints so they know not to serve him:joy:
He’s probably bored of them and don’t want to hurt your feelings. Just stop making them and let him sort himself.
Don’t cook for his ass anymore if you make bomb ass food ,
but maybe he don’t like what your making or it taste like shit
He makes his own money let a nigga eat
Why dont you just stop making him lunch and quit worrying bout his ungrateful ass😆
When our first born was a couple of months old my husband didn’t hang up the phone to me when he was at work and I had my hands full with the baby. He said to his co-worker regarding the lunch I made him that day “God love her, she tries”. I have not made him a single lunch since that day. Our eldest turned 3 last week. You can bet he appreciates any meal I do make him now though .
This is the biggest thing you have to worry about? Really? Stop packing his lunch and let the man have his fast food. What is the big deal?
Stop making and take debit card away.
Stop wasting time and money and don’t make him lunches!!! He doesn’t deserve them.
If it’s not a problem financially, let him eat out. I guess I don’t see the problem, besides wasting food, quit making it for him and it won’t be wasted.
I do this myself. Pack a lunch and then just end up buying something😂 sometimes you just want what you want
Have you asked him what he wants?
I could make a crummy dinner and my husband will still eat it. No matter what I’ve made he’s complimented it and always takes some to work.
Only time he ever not eats is if the nepali guys bring in some noodles lol. He has a soft spot for their spicey cuisine.
But I’d stop making him food then. Tell him you hope he gets diarrhea.
He may have a weakness for it and can’t fight it. I know I did when I was pregnant
Stop making them… He’s an adult
Then stop making him lunch…
I would just ask if he doesn’t like it, or what? Because he’s always buying something. You can get coolers that you plug into your vehicle and it will warm the food up. Amazon
Okay, stop making him lunches. At this point he’s wasting money on fast food and your wasting your time. Unless you guys are really struggling with him buying lunch, let it go. If you are then maybe ask him to take lunch a few days a week and setup a lunch budget so he can have fast food here and there. I made my husband lunch, the day I found it uneaten was the last time I made it.
well he’s the one working, so let him eat out? weird ass.
Stop making them. Saves you the trouble.
Is he becoming unhealthy from all the fast food? I would think so. It’s going to catch up with him.
Stop making him lunch
I would ask why he throws the food away.
Make yourself lunch instead of him bc clearly he doesn’t respect what you do for him.
I wouldn’t make his lunches anymore
Why are you packing a grown mans lunch?
make yourself lunch, get a good life insurance policy on him, cause he won’t be around as long as you will—eating that crap
Maybe he doesn’t like your cooking and just doesn’t know how to tell you because a lot of people just CANT cook.
Turn the lunches you would be making him into lunch for yourself. Then you know you have something to grab when you get hungry.
Then vent it out and let him know it hurts you that he doesn’t eat the lunches you make. It seems like a love language miscommunication.
Simple. Stop making them.
Have you talked to him about it? That’s a better place to start than on Facebook
If you know he’s doing it, then Stop wasting it since he’s not going to eat it.
I have a somewhat different opinion on this I suppose.
-
when I’m working full time and I want fast food I’ll buy it for lunch if we’re not strapped for money.
-
not saying you’re a bad cook or not but is it possible he doesn’t want to eat what you made and didn’t want to hurt your feelings? Are you making him the same things for lunch every day?
-
if he wants to eat out for lunch then stop giving him food, that’s wasting a lot on your end that you could eat
Stop making his lunch
Just divorce the bastard!!
Buy him life insurance and out live him♡
Pack him an empty lunchbox. Simple.
Well maybe he’s over your nasty ass sandwiches left over from dinner yes but yes sandwiches get old quick
Throw away the whole man
Maybe he wants to eat out with coworkers.
Ask him. Maybe he just prefers something different and doesn’t want to hurt your feelings. If he likes burger/fries offer to make him healthier versions ie turkey burger, roasted sweet potatoes. But tell him if he’s going to continue you won’t waste your time and money packing him food.
Stop making his lunch
Meh… I’m not eating something just because someone else thinks I have to. If he doesn’t eat it then he obviously doesn’t want it.
Quit making him lunches then lol.
He probably eats both
Stop wasting your time and food. You’re not his mother, let him eat what he likes.
Perhaps he doesn’t like what you make him? I apparently don’t make mine enough? He eats the lunch I make him but still goes and buys more! I get all hurt about it. Lol.
His coworkers may eat out and he wants company instead of eating sack lunch
Maybe pack your lunches instead of his. It won’t be wasteful and you’ll have a packed lunch
My dad did that to my mom! She said she wouldn’t cook for him anymore. Now my dad had to throw away the evidence! They’ve been together for 35 years
I mean… Stop making his lunch… You’re not his mama.
Bro I would like file for divorce. I’m a good as cook and I get offended when my husband (with high blood pressure) dumbs salt and seasoning on my dinners. like wtf that’s so mean!
I would stop making him lunches and sit down and have an adult conversation with him about why he keeps eating out instead of eating what you made him. If it’s just because he likes the fast food then maybe try to budget it in there. If its because he doesn’t like what you made then ask him what he would prefer and make that instead or just let him indulge in the fast food and make sure he eats nutritious when its dinner time.
Let him pack his own lunch or buy his food.
Stop making his lunch.
I have this issue with my husband a lot too. For me it’s the cost aspect. It adds up BIG TIME! Well I don’t pack his lunch but I buy what he wants for lunches so he has what he WANTS and he still does it
You go out to collect his dishes?? Is he a child? Maybe he gets tired of the same thing or wants something hot instead? Talk with him or quit sending him stuff
Make your own lunch instead of one for him
Quit making his lunches. Then average the amount of money he’s wasting weekly by eating out and find something you like that’s around the same price and treat yourself.
Make better lunches?
He wants fast food, he’s going to eat it. Maybe call his doctor and ask her/him to have a talk with your husband about the health problems eating fast food and soda causes. If it could affect his sex organs or show him how colas corrode your insides, or whatever would speak to him maybe he’d listen.
Can you compromise and have him eat fast food half the time vs every day? Or just get a fast food drink (preferably unsweetened iced tea) and eat your homemade sandwich? I’m guessing the cost difference is not that great between homemade ingredients and fast food, though might be worth adding up how much money he’s wasting.
Is it a time/ease factor that it’s easier to eat fast food while he’s driving/working? Maybe a non-drippy wrap he could hold in one hand and a non-spill cup would work better (or just wash & re-use the existing fast-food drink cups).
Is it peer pressure because “all the other guys do it” and he’d feel left out? You and his doctor need to come up with some snappy clap-backs for him to use on his friends, like “guess you guys’ women don’t love y’all as much as mine is all” or “At least eating healthy I’ll still be able to see my dick next year and my woman will still be proud to be seen with me,” or “guess I’m just a natural-born leader/trend setter vs you corporate sheep buying whatever it is they put in your bags”, or whatever it would take to shut up his peers.
Ive found its kind of a losing battle with guys and their awful diets. The best you can do is sneak in healthy stuff when he’s at home. Check next post.
Honestly it would hurt my feelings if I went out of the way to make him something and he was throwing it away. Either ask him what he wants or just stop packing his lunch.
Stop doin it simple as that obviously not what he wants & you can’t force him, he works so he spends his money on what he wants
If you know he throws it out why on earth do you keep making it?
Stop putting in effort for people who wouldn’t or won’t do the same for you
Just don’t make him lunches that fast food will get old fast
Not a big deal. Hes a grown man he can decide what he wants to eat. I make lunch everyday and never eat it myself.
Take his lunch for you!
You can’t save his money for him…even if you want him to save it …id just be mad he didn’t tell you not to make the food every day and throw it out !!! …id have half a nerve to add up all the money heez waisted of the thrown out food and pay you back
To spend 10k a year you have to spend $27 a day.
Show him the math.
So u wasting food and money don’t make the lunch or maybe he doesn’t like what u pack
My ex did this😂 one of many reasons he’s my ex. He insisted I make his lunch too🤦♀️
Just stop making his lunch
Just tape the bills to his steering wheel along with the wrappers.
My husband didn’t even eat lunch
Make dinner for yourself and not him. Tell him because he ate fast food he can eat the leftover lunch you made as dinner.
Stop making lunches
Ways to sneak nutrition into your man (and yourself and your kids) at meals at home:
• Put yellow, butternut, or acorn squash in your Mac n cheese
• put mashed cauliflower in your mashed potatoes (ratio of 1:3)
• grate zucchini, carrots, parsnips, and add chopped spinach or other greens and throw in cooked bell pepper bits in your spaghetti sauce. You can hide a lot in a lasagna!.
• Toss any kinds of colorful veggies (skip carby ones like potatoes, rice & corn which he likely already gets lots of) in a blender & purée them with chicken/beef/vegetable broth/bouillon. Add cream & he won’t be aware of what healthy stuff he’s eating.
• set out cut up vegetables and dip (hummous, lite ranch or blue cheese dressing) and/or air-popped popcorn in front of him when he’s watching TV and munching mindlessly
• make chicken or hamburger pot pie with a store-bought pie crust, fill with cream of anything soup and a ton of frozen vegetables and spices, top with a thin layer of mashed potatoes (with mashed cauliflower in them if you want) and a bit of Parmesan cheese on top. Even my pickiest guys like their vegetables this way.
• mix a little grated veggies and chopped spinach in your hamburgers before cooking them. I also add a spoonfWorcestershire and soy sauces, dry mustard, minced onion and a little bit of ketchup or tomato paste to give them awesome flavor.
• throw a can of beans either whole or puréed into whatever your cooking for extra fiber & nutrients. Use the refried beans in your tacos
• switch to whole wheat bread & pasta (they make white whole wheat if he’ll complain too much), and brown rice, all of which are MUCH more nutritious.
• send along packs of nuts (raw is best, but see what he’ll tolerate) as a healthy snack. Bananas or grapes are also easy to eat on the go.
• baked apples make an awesome, cheap and healthy dessert: cut out the core using a peeler (dont poke through the bottom), fill with a pat of butter, a bit of brown sugar and raisins and nuke a few minutes until soft.
Make his lunch and keep it for yourself
Ask him face to face why ?
