I am a stay at home dad mostly cause my work doesn’t need me to work more than a few hours a week to earn a living. So I used to pack food for my wife and daughter since I usually cooked large amounts of food for myself as meal prep for the week and made differently sized portions for each of.

I usually cook something low calorie since Its what I need to eat to achieve my goals at the gym but my wife has been pestering me to cook some more “unhealthy”. I tried cooking 2 separate things one for myself and my daughter and one for her. I realised after a week that it was just unsustainable to cook 6 separate meals every day while doing the rest of the household chores and still having time left over to go to the gym and enjoy my hobbies.

I told my wife if she wanted to eat something different than us she could go cook for herself or go eat out. She complained that it was unfair that i wouldn’t cook for her even though I stayed home all day. I told if she wanted me to cook for her every day she could pick up some chores around the house so that I would have the time to do it. So AITA
