I normally cook as I like to cook and I work less hours. Tonight though, we have finished a portion of a house project and I submitted my OU assignment. The reward for putting in the work and getting it finished was a treat for us. I voted for a takeaway. DH vetoed this and voted for a nice steak dinner with nice wine and then cheese to finish. I said it isn't really a treat if I have to cook it. So he said he would cook. So far, so good.
I took DS swimming this afternoon and then to shop for the dinner ingredients and got home just before 6. Put the grocery bag down in the kitchen, poured a glass of wine and sat down to relax.
Oh no. DH comes in all 'look at the time, I think it needs to be a collaborative effort babe'. Essentially I say no, he goes back to kitchen. DH comes back 'so I'm doing your job by putting shopping away (one bag).'
Me 'everything in the bag is for the dinner'
Out he goes
DH again 'what about the potatoes? What kind? Baked? Boiled? Roasties?'
Me 'whatever you like, your choice'
And on and on. He doesn't know how to saute mushrooms so why should he have to cook them? (I told him how)
Fucks sake. Can I not have one night where I get to sit and do nothing while he cooks?
There is a lot of banging coming from the kitchen now. How much you wanna bet the bits of the meal I like (mushrooms) will be ruined?
Please help me to not help him.
