My husband is calling me a pussy because I said I wasn't looking forward to cooking on Thanksgiving, I am 6 months pregnant and frankly I think I should have help this year and every year for that matter. Cooking the big of a dinner is alot of work and even more when your pregnant.

Your husband is an inconsiderate jerk! Let him get in the kitchen and cook. There are a lot of male chefs who are brilliant at what they do. Your husband is sexist and stand your ground if you don't want to cook but don't use being pregnant as an excuse. If you aren't up to cooking, don't and make other plans.
P.S. If he is your husband, why did you post this under "singles and dating"?

I agree that cooking a big Thanksgiving dinner is a lot of work! In fact, it takes up almost all of my mom's day. Being 6 months pregnant probably does make it more difficult.
Your husband should be helping you - especially since you're pregnant - with all household chores...not just Thanksgiving dinner. And not looking forward to slaving over a hot stove and oven all day is NO reason to call you a ****!!!
I'd tell him if he wants a traditional Thanksgiving dinner (especially if he's inviting friends or family over), then he better help!

I've always seen Thanksgiving as a family event, with everyone helping out. For me, that would include the cooking too.

I cook all my nutrition from scratch. this is extra reasonably-priced, this is extra healthy, and it would not take any further to do it from scratch, than it does from a container... i'll cook a small total turkey, pull decrease back the exterior, and season and butter below the exterior, and bake it an hour in line with pound. Peel potatoes, and get them waiting to boil for mashed potatoes, yet which would be between the final issues I do, because of the fact this is annoying to maintain them heat, jointly as making waiting something of the nutrition... I make my very own gravy from turkey drippings, and a small quantity of flower, including milk to get the consistency i prefer... i'll in all likelihood do a green bean casserole, and besides the undeniable fact that i do no longer make mushroom soup from scratch, or fried onions from scratch, I in basic terms sense it tastes better to have it as this is arranged on the decrease back of the Durkee Fried Onion label. i'll in all likelihood make dinner roles, and refrigerate them, and bake them in basic terms earlier the meal... that's in all likelihood all i'll do. no longer having as enormous a crowd this 365 days, and that i continuously tend to restoration too plenty.

NEVER!! Not just thanksgiving, but EVERY MEAL!
My hub and I have a system where if I cook he cleans, and if he cooks I clean, or we just do them both together. And trust me, I come from a LONG line of "women in the kitchen, men sleeping on the couch "watching" the game." They were FLOORED when my hub cleared his own plate and offered to WASH the first time!
As for your husband, maybe you shouldn't cook for him at all this week, take a load off your feet and make him fend for himself and see if he likes it.
No disrespect at all sweetie, but you gotta put your foot down esp. being preggo! It takes TWO to make anything work!
GOOD LUCK HUN and happy thanksgiving!

No not at all I think cooking for the holidays or for any day should be something every one should pitch in and help with I mean every one is going to eat why not help out

My husband and I have it figured out...whenever we have big parties, he cooks the meat and I prepare the side dishes and desserts. Since you are pregnant this year, maybe you could order your turkey dinner from a supermarket, they come with the sides and dessert and it is relatively cheap...and you could always make some additional things so it is more of a home-made meal.

Your husband is a jerk. Does he just want to put his feet up all day while you are barefoot and pregnant (literally) in the kitchen? I don't think so. Tell him he helps or gets no dinner. In my family, my stepdad was the one who did all the cooking. He liked to cook, but when he needed help, we helped.

Hes being unfair. I think its a family effort to cook together during this holiday and the fact that your 6 months pregnant, hes being very in-sensitive!!!! He needs to help you out, that's crazy to me and your pregnant.

No.
Many men actually ENJOY cooking.
As a women, I hate cooking.
Cook something god-awful. Then tell everyone it was because your husband refused to help. Give him a real reason to call you a *****.
