DH is cooking dinner (I cook most nights, chores are evenly split so it's not about pulling his weight or anything). We had some frozen gyoza in the freezer that he fancied.
He's just called me into the kitchen to ask me how to cook them. I told him to read the instructions on the packet, but he said they don't make sense. I have cooked them once before, a few weeks ago, and just followed the instructions. Apparently that means that I should know how to cook them now and tell him so he doesn't have to try to understand the instructions.
Problem is I don't remember exactly how to do them with the timings so he is literally expecting me to stand next to him and read him the instructions and tell him exactly what to do. Apparently I'm being difficult because I told him to figure it out.
I know it sounds petty but I just hate the expectation that even on my night off from cooking I need to stand there and help him do it. He is more than capable of following a set of instructions himself. For what it's worth they are as simple as "fry in a little bit of oil for this amount of time, then add whatever amount of water the instructions say, and then add a lid and let them steam for another period of time". I have been looking after my DSD since 3pm and my 10 month old niece all day, I just want to sit down with a glass of wine ffs!!
PS I realise this is a small problem and hasn't triggered an actual argument. It just bothered me because no one stands there and reads the instructions for me when I cook something new!
