Slappo Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 (edited) [quote name='HisChildForever' date='19 July 2010 - 06:42 PM' timestamp='1279590151' post='2145213'] So your wife, who is about to come home from a long day of work, is going to have to worry about dinner? When you have been home for however long, and could have done it so she would not have to bother after work? [/quote] She isn't worrying about dinner. It also isn't a bother for her to cook dinner. We're not even sure what we're eating for dinner yet, and chances are she'll be stopping at the store on the way home to pick up something she'd like to eat. Just because one spouse gets home from work before the other does not mean that that spouse should be the one to cook dinner. I don't really know where you get that idea. I also don't know where you get the idea that cooking is something someone must worry about or be bothered by doing.

[/quote] What is this "clean up" you speak of? I just throw out the dirty dishes and by new ones from Wally World, I don't have to buy dishwashing soap this way. Dries my hands out.

He likes to cook because he says he finds it relaxing. My SIL's fiance tried cooking for her a few times and he thought he was really good. She told him to stop because she didn't like his cooking so much. I'm a stay at home mom and my husband still gets dinner together occasionally. The kitchen is never the same afterward (as Miss Scripture alluded to lol). Ya gotta do whatever works best for your relationship/marriage.

I have it in my head that it would be thoughtful and considerate for the spouse already at home to begin working on dinner, especially if the spouse still at work has been putting in long hours - and even more especially if the spouse at work will be late, and by the time that spouse completes dinner it will be well past dinner time. That is all. I mean absolutely no hostility, which I feel you have read in my post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sitting at home not cooking dinner, and here you say it would be worrying and bothersome for the spouse still at work to have to come home and prepare dinner. Makes it sound like I'm a bad or uncaring husband for not cooking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
