As a well-intentioned shopper, I relate to the spouse in this story. I find myself buying ingredients for recipes I never get around to cooking. It's part guilt (oh, I really should be doing something with quinoa, everyone else is) and it's part just optistism (I'm sure I can make that tomorrow night) and it's part just wishing I were that kind of mom (you know the one who tomorrow really will get off DCUMs in order to make her child a wholesome meal of quinoa.)

Whatever. Who cares what is fueling the source? Do you think you don't have these foibles/flaws too?

Focus on each person's strengths. If you're the more disciplined shopper, take it over. Maybe she's the more disciplined cleaner, and she can take over dishes? Or maybe she's the more creative parent who can plan outings for the weekends. Are you telling us you want to divorce over this? I'd really redirect, refocus on each person's strengths, and let it go.[/quote]
