[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is this dependent on your husband going out of town? [/quote] OP here. Somehow I feel obligated to have family dinner when he’s home. He loves to cook, eat, have dinner together. He loves to cook and will help if he gets home in time, but then there’s dishes and clean up. I’m just tired of it. [/quote] I think you need to decouple from this a bit and not feel the need to do big meals every night. One thing I do is make a meal big enough we can have it two nights in a row. Sandwiches and salads are a perfectly fine dinner too. Your kids are also well old enough to do clean up, that was our rule when I was a teen, the person who cooks doesn't clean. My Dad worked late a lot but we'd do the dishes together a almost every night. I was a busy teen with homework and such but it doesn't take long with multiple people.[/quote]
