Hahahaha! I’m exactly the same, except I’m such a control freak, I cook too! Lol! Thanks for sharing!

There’s another story on here about the exact same thing. How the wife runs around doing everything for a ‘simple’ BBQ, only for hubby to get all the credit at the end. It was very humorous

I would love to attend one of your BBQ’s! Lucky guests!

I always go over board. I love to entertain as well.

Love it! I know what you mean about getting none of the credit. I think deep down though we all know who puts the effort in before hand!! Hope you did get to enjoy your glass of wine with your friend.s The BBQ sounds delicious! Feel free to invite me next time you entertain!

Ha ha ha Oh your BBQ’s sound great, can I come

We feel as tho we are judged by the other females there, so we do our best to show we can do it. I don’t do this anymore. I now send hubby out to buy a few salads. Then he really can bask in the glory, as he truly has done it all. A BBQ is my day of rest.

haha, Gold! They always get the credit for the 15 mins on the bbq after we’ve spent hours preparing. But i guess that’s their idea of a bbq and all the fancy stuff is our idea!

Thank you for all your lovely kind comments. We had a fantastic, long and relaxing lunch. It’s nice to be able to sit back and relax knowing everything is done. I really enjoy cooking and I like to show my friends and family how much I care about them through food

I love the simple BBQ too! After all the time & effort we put into the preparation why is it our partners get all the credit! lol

I too tend to go what my husband calls overboard, it’s always a nice feeling to know you put the effort in ,hope your husband doesn’t get too much credit

Dearest mom57522,
My invite seemed to have been lost in the post, will let this one go but am looking forward to the next. lol.
In all honesty sounds amazing and I do hope everyone had a wonderful time.
YUMMM.

I would love to be invited to your ‘simple BBQ lunch’. Sounds awesome.

What a massive effect you have put in hope you get to enjoy a smooth meal with your friends

I have a friend like that, and truly, what I enjoy most about her BBQs is her wonderful laugh.

Haha wow
Thats alot of effort
Sounds yummy though

Good on you. It’s easy to get carried away with things like that when you’re hosting. I’m too disorganised and slow when I do things so I never get that much done! Lol.

Wow. I thought getting a few salads together to go with the meat was pretty ‘simple’. I think I’d smile and shake my head too! I hope your guests appreciated the effort you went to.

I don’t really do simple either but I wouldn’t have done individual cakes for everyone-too formal for a BBQ

Wow thats one fancy simple bbq enjoy
