And it was precisely on this basis that a woman recently had a conflict with her husband. However, let’s talk about everything in order.

So the very next day, the wife plated food for her and their kid only, leaving the husband with no dinner
So, the Original Poster (OP) and her husband are people in their thirties, and they have a 4-year-old son. Both spouses work full-time – according to the author, she has a desk job, while her spouse’s job is manual labor mainly. And after work, the womanprepares dinnerfor the whole family.
Usually, as the author says, all family members, having finished eating, rinse their plates and put them in the dishwasher themselves – eventhe kid, especially since he’s already big enough for this, the mom notes. A couple of days ago, the woman asked her spouse to help her with washing the dishes left after cooking – frying pans, pots and whatnot.
And here an unpleasant surprise awaited our heroine – the guy flatly refused to do this, saying something like since his wife started all this mess in the kitchen, then she should cope with this on her own. If you thought that it was at this moment that the scandal broke out, then you are mistaken. No, the OP got mad, but she didn’t show it, postponing her revenge until the next day.

Well, experts are sure that cooking (and doing dishes as well) together, especially when both spouses work full-time, is not only fair, but can also significantly improve the atmosphere in the family. “Any quality time spent together will help to build your relationship,” theWren Kitchensblog states. “As your confidence grows in cooking together, you’ll find you can chat about other topics while you cook, making it more into a conversation with cooking rather than the other way around. Communication, after all, is key to any good relationship. ”
Most commenters claimed that the husband had behaved ugly here, and praised the mom for being both witty and calm
