Am I a bad wife for NEVER cooking ?

I am many things but a cook is NOT one of them. I’m probably the last person you’d want in the kitchen—not because the food tastes bad (I can cook), but because it’s a hazard when I do.

🔥 I’ve burned myself (badly), cut myself, dropped knives, and even started a fire just trying to boil water.

Everyone who knows me—my husband, my sisters, my friends—begs me not to go in the kitchen lmao I don’t even think I’m that bad but I’ve burned myself 3x in the last 3 months 😂😂

So my husband does all the cooking, and I handle all the cleaning. The only appliance I’m “allowed” to use when I’m home alone is the microwave. When he went to Arizona for a weekend, he literally told me to just DoorDash so I wouldn’t risk anything.

I don’t think that makes me a lazy wife. It just makes me accident-prone. 😂 But I do want to take a kitchen safety class someday so I can stop being so clumsy. For now, he cooks and I clean—and it works for us. 💕

Are you the cook or the cleaner in your relationship ?

Tired of Cooking for a Complainer

I’m literally losing it. I cook every single night. I plan the meals, go get the groceries, cook, clean, everything. And this man still has the audacity to complain. “It’s bland.” “Did you forget something?” “Didn’t we just have this?” LIKE OKAY THEN YOU COOK??? I’m not your chef. I’m not your mom.
