Let him get his own sandwich!( a rant)

No way sweetie. The first time that one doesn't come when lunch is ready, he can go without it then. And make his own lunch for all i care. I don't nag or beg. That women should leave her hubby to go hungry.

Commercials still tend to be very sexist. This one is a good example. The little wife is making the sandwich, because hubby is incapable of doing so (since unpaid food prep is the domain of women); hubby's time is more valuable than the little woman's time, so he can't be bothered with such a lowly domestic task. I like cooking (well, I did until I came to Florida, but that's another story...), and my schedule really is less demanding than my boyfriend's, so I do the majority of food preparation in the household. However, I don't nag him to come eat; nor would I have to do so. If I'm cooking, people will eat what is prepared, when it is prepared, and will keep complaints to a minimum (or will be making other arrangements for future meals). That applies not only to my boyfriend and any visitors but, also, any children that we may have in the future.

When I make something I normally tell my boyfriend that dinner or lunch is done and then wait for him to go get it. Other times I bring it to him when I go into the dining room and hes already there. But he also does the same thing for me.

I like to eat with my partner, so we can spend a few minutes together. If he's not going to eat with me, I'm sure he's quite capable of making his own sandwich.

Why not just tell him it is ready? Works for me. Phones are just evil

i don't know. thinking about it i think i have always set the rules for how a meal is to be eaten, whether together or seperately, prior to preparing it. so having agreed the conditions under which the meal being prepared is going to be eaten, like we will all sit down and eat it, or we are all busy doing other things, and therefore we will all get food for ourselves, i then don't like the agreed conditions to be broken. so if i prepared a sandwich for someone and the condition for its preparation was that they would come downstairs and eat it with me, and they didn't keep to that agreement, they would most likely never get to eat that sandwich. i think we have unwritten rules within our own homes, that we want kept, and probably what is annoying you is that the rules of the home in the advert are just so different to yours. but as long are you are happy with what happens in your home don't get annoyed.

A lot of couples and families see meal time as a time to be together, and the wife was pissed that he would rather play with his phone than be with her. That's from a traditional standpoint. In a similar situation you and your partner might find different ways to be together.

Well dear you should understand women are basically sweet and thoughtful. We would like to enjoy the company of our husband most of the time especially during meal time. Well a husband may be thoughtless and would be very occupied with a lot of things but it takes a thoughtful and tactful wife to change him. I also believe that there is a time for any meal. So for me and my husband for as long we are not in the office, we always eat together and if my husband is too busy to eat with me then I'd send this picture to him.

I'm not the type to be chasing someone around with a sandwich either. If they are hungry...they can come get it when they want it.

For em it's defend if you are not showy to shown the love then it is possible if not then it is not happened.

I would love for somebody to send me pictures of lunch. Or even text me that lunch is ready. Or just prepare lunch for me. Instead of preparing it myself. Like I always do!
