Man? My problem is this ladies, my woman is always trying to get out of cooking a home cooked meal. She always claims that I do it better and she'll mess it up. Granted she takes care of the baby and the house, but I work all day and have to come home and make dinner because she didn't get anything ready, and this is usually an every day thing. Am I wrong for getting mad? She handles everything else pretty well so why should frying up a little chicken be a big thing? Its not like I'm asking her to have a five corse meal when I come home, just something, hey ladies, help me out here.

Hey ladies, believe me when I come home its all about family time, I'm playing with my son who is going a 2 years old, take out the trash, wash whatever dish is in the sink and I still show her love and affection. I have no problem with cooking, I enjoy it very much, my problem is that she doesn't, and that isn't right, I can count a my hand how many times a meal has been ready when I got home and we've been together for almost 5 years. I just don't think that its right, once and a while wouldn't hurt her. She gives a good story and all because I know what its like to be a stay at home dad. When our child was first born, I took care of everything, made dinner, gave the baby a bath, washed clothes, gave her quality time and anything else u can name I did. Now the table is turned around and I only get half back. Do you understand now why I get so mad?

why don't you guys take a cooking class together so she feels more comfortable cooking?
or maybe set up days where you cook and days when she cooks. or when you get home you take care of the child so she can cook in peace. she's probably exhausted when you get home from dealing with the kid all day.

Ok I understand that the man is out making the money and he deserve a nice meal on the table when he gets home. I agree with that and I think your wife could make a better effort in that department.
Have you ever thought though that your wife may be tired of her everyday existence? Maybe she is bored with staying at home and looking after the baby and the house. It gets really old sometimes! I know you did it for a while but she is probably doing it much more than you had to and she will have to continue for a long time.
I don't know what the solution is but maybe a compromise of asking her to have something on the table for you 3 nights of the week and then on weekends you can share the responsibilities of looking after the child and cooking meals. Maybe you could even let her get away by herself for a few hours on the weekend.

there have been some belongings you probably did quite nicely, consisting of construction the eating position scene, notwithstanding i'd have reported that you observed her call tag formerly your personality says her call. once you're saying it after wards, you're making your reader flow in opposite and it breaks the flow. standard, although, it became nice. i do not fairly understand why this female is so keen on NYC? have you ever been there? I surely have not, yet from what i have heard from those who've, that's a lot less park and far extra noise, pollution, %, chilly human beings, and red bus supply up benches. now to not color NYC in a foul mild, yet surely, that's a large city--a large northern city. also, I doubt a cafe that wouldn't have a range of of clientele is amazingly going to very last in uptown NYC (fantastically close to accepted park?). So, both they in simple terms opened, or they're making waiting to close down because lack of clientele ability they could't pay lease for the area. And the position is that this female from? She's used to seeing red bus supply up benches and no grass, yet would not recognize something about microwaves? I surely have a city-boy pal who not in any respect touches a kitchen--won't be able to make mac and cheese without help--yet he's acquainted with the position the start button is on the microwave. So something needs to be fastened or defined there.

she does all the house work, which im not sure u know it involves, cleaning the house laundry dishes etc............ (aloooot more) she also takes care of the baby... also a lot of work... ok, you zork all day but does it bother you to cook a simple meal? why dont you do some of the chores take care of the baby a little and ask her to cook? tell her instead of cooking you*re going to clean a little or take care of the baby... if she doesnt go for that then ask her to set the table before you get home so that part is done...

Personally I love to cook for my dude .I can throw down in the kitchen and it pleases me to see him eat it all up and smile . when you guys are watching tv together put it on the fod network and say look honey that looks easy to make..i suggest rachel ray 30 minute simple meals . Some women just dont have the knack or ambition. In the south "where im from" women are taught to cook at a early age ..good luck

you said it yourself she handles everything else it is very frustrating staying home and taking care of things she just hates cooking and ask that you help out in that area put yourself in her shoes and imagine how she spends her day i also sympathize with wanting something to eat after a hard days work but i think the best thing for the two of you to do is to find a compromise that the two of you can be satisfied with

Sorry! I can cook, and very well. I just HATE it. My husband loves me enough to understand and never gets mad. If he wants a home cooked meal, he cooks it. We usually just go out to eat. And no, we aren't newly weds, we have been married 10 years.

Darling if she is a stay at home mom then in my opinion dinner should be taken care of for you.
If she disagrees with me tell her to email me and I'll let her know what it's like to be divorced, raise 2 kids, work full time, and do all the house chores....Good luck to you.

I'm having that same problem in my relationship, but you have to consider all that she does and maybe you could prep something for her so she can just put it in the oven
