Good thing I live alone. I would not take kindly to someone hovering in my kirchen!
Iâm guessing here - too much else in queue to listen to a podcast but I think I get the concept.
My wife and I are pretty careful to avoid this. When itâs her night to cook and I help I do what she wants her way (except for knife work, which is mostly want she values my help with). When I cook and she helps she mostly does things my way. Itâs an effort to keep oneâs lip button.
The âwhyâ would be interesting Erica @greygarious if it can be boiled down.
Itâs me. But only when asked!
You guys have assigned nights to cook?
I once saw a sign at a mechanicâs garage that read:
My hourly rate is $25/hr.
If you watch it is $35/hr.
If you help it is $50 hr.
One of the guilty parties in the podcast is himself a psychologist. After prodding, he conceded that it might be a matter of low self-esteem. When an inexperienced partner tries to control a professional cook, a slapdown is in order!
âAssignedâ is not the right word. Itâs more like âwon.â When we meal plan we decide who is going to cook each night.
