This is to Julie (sorry to piggyback, merry, 've got the drama queen
killfiled).

Then don't say anything, Julie. If he can't make his own a sandwich then
mommy didn't cut the apron strings soon enough. I've never met a man who
couldn't make a sandwich. Sheesh, woman, grow a backbone. If he's not
working late and he's not coming home, where the hell does he go? Probably
away from your whining self. But I'd think having dinner ready on demand
would be the least of your worries.

An aside: why is it you don't eat leftovers? You mentioned making "too
much food" but you don't eat leftovers. So what do you do, just throw
perfectly good food away? Don't let me catch you complaining about your
grocery bill any time soon.
