What would you do?

DH wants to go camping for a week with his brother. DD and I are not going.

DH has asked me to prepare a week's worth of meals for them to eat like I did on the last camping trip

The one we ALL went on

I am kind of pissed that he would even ask me this in the first place

To cook a whole week of meals for a trip I'm not even going on

Am I being selfish?

I don't even know what to say

Other than please acquaint yourself with the frozen food aisle which contains lasagne, mac n cheese and Jimmy Dean breakfast items

I do not want to scratch all the stuff he requested for a trip I won't even be going on

I would do it for my DH. But he is great and does a lot for me.

Isn't your H really abusive to you?

Wow..That's quite a request. I guess it woild depend on how your marriage is otherwise. Is he normally selfish? Perhaps you can say you don't have time to do it yourself but he can help. If he doesn't w to I would definately acquaint him with the frozen food isle.

I would be cooking and singing at the top of my voice. I look forward to DSO going on his 'guy trips' every so often.

Walmart sells premade sandwiches my DSO takes for lunch...in fact most stores now sell prepared salads, sandwich rings, cheese trays. Go load up on a bunch of that stuff and breakfast biscuits.

I'll probably do it just to keep the peace but I will hate every minute of it

If he wasn't that way I wouldn't resent it so much

There was a time I would have been happy to do anything for him

I'll have to just keep reminding myself that it will be an entire drama free week of peace and quiet so that might be really worth it

If he is a good DH, then yeah I would do it. If my DH is an ass though then I wouldnt do shit for him.

Ok..since you are going to do it anyway I would suggest this. Do you cook during the week?

If so, then make extra and freeze two servings every night. Get a dozen eggs and scramble them, fry a lb of sausage. Then mix it all together and wrap in about 12 or so tortillas and freeze as well. That will take care of breakfast and dinner for them. Send sandwich stuff for lunches. They can make those themselves.
