Do You Fix His Plate?

[dlewis]

I fix Dh plate.

 

[dlewis]

and the kids plate.

LOL, I guess I'm selfish because I only fix mine!!

I feel that if i cook the least he can do is fix his plate. i fixed my babies plates when they were small, now that they can do that on their own they can have at it.

DH is from east texas - i dont even know if he knows HOW to fix his own plate.....so, yes

 

[newbiemom]

I fix his plate. It is normal for my culture and his to sdo so. I don't feel like I'm his servant I think it is cute

 

[Mrs.Green]

Yep! I do it because it's my pleasure, not my duty.

I was raised to do it. I think of it as a kind gesture on the lines of a man holding the door open or pulling out a ladies seat. I was raised to fix a plate among other things for that special someone.

I agree with the post .

I have in the past & have gotten the comment that I didn't give him enough of "such & such" so I'll pull a plate out for him, but he's the only one that knows how much food he wants to eat.

He serves himself.

I fix my man's plate and I like doing so. I even fixed his plate when he goes for 2nd's

I'm happy fixing my man's plate. I believe in traditional gender roles though.

 

[DarkHair]

I fix his plate, but I often ask if he wants me to. He may say yes, and he may say no.

 

[Coffee]

We both offer to fix each other's plate, but I have no problem fixing his. It shows how much I appreciate all he does for me.

I think it's a nice gesture. Dh works odd hours so he isn't home at dinner time most days so I make his plate and leave it on the stove. When we all eat together (1-2 days a week), I always make his plate and the kids' plates

I typically always fix DH's plate. Never been a big deal. I was raised with most women fixing their man's plate (aunts for uncles, mom for dad, etc.). I like taking care of him. He does the same for me. He is a great cook and when he cooks, he fixes my plate and he serves me. We take care of each other that way...it's not expected. We just do it

 

[Arcadian]

Yes I do. There are times when I eat before he does so I will fix him a plate. When we eat together he will not start eating until I sit down.

Its one of the few traditional things about our relationship.

I fix everybodies plate so I can keep them outta my pots etc.

 

[shinyblackhair]

I fix dh and kids plate. I can't handle everyone in there making a mess of the pots and everything. It's just better if I do it.

 

[Slave4Hair]

I think whoever cooks can fix the plate. I'm not someone that was raised with gender roles, my dad did all the cooking in the house because it's something he enjoys. I love that my SO is also like that, i come home from school sometimes and there's a plate of food waiting in the microwave for me

 

[itismehmmkay]

Yeah I fix it and I think he expects it. In a way, I kinda like that he expects it though.

 

[gabulldawg]

IMO this rule only applies to married couples.

 

[daydreem2876]

In our house, my mother does not fix my dad's plate. Not because she did not want to or was not raised to, but because he does not like other people messing with his food (i really dont want to know why ). However, she always makes she he has eaten. When we go out we have to either go get him or she makes sure to order a meal to go for him.

But I would not have a problem with it... somebody has to makes sure at least one meal a day is balanced

 

[20Pearls_Girl]

I do unless I am super pissed off or he's cooking. He does expect it most times because that's how I started the relationship.

 

[Bmack]

Yes, I do. I don't do it all the time, but at home yes. He cooks most of the time so he deserves it.
