[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve realized over the last few months that I absolutely hate cooking and cleaning. I’ve been doing less of them, and the less I do, the happier I feel.

I didn’t mind them when I was single because it was just me and it took maybe 15 minutes a day. But I hate cleaning an entire house and trying to feed 4 people.

I’m heavily leaning towards just hiring a housekeeper and meal delivery services for myself. The kids are picky and I’m happy to spend 5 minutes making a sandwich and sliced veggies. H would have to fend for himself for dinner. I make more money than H and can afford meal delivery for myself but not for both of us (but if he wants to pay for his that’s fine).

Anyone done anything like this? H made dinner tonight, which means I’m on dish duty, but I’m looking at this massive pile of dishes, pots, pans, the blender is out, sauces and spills on the counter and floors, and just thinking….im tired of wasting hours of my life feeding and cleaning up after people.

You should not be a parent.
You should not be a wife.
You should live alone in a reclusive environment. You’ll be happier. [/quote]

DP. You cannot put them back, ya know? And why is being a wife thought of as someone who cleans and cooks forever and for everybody. I recently saw a meme about a wife in the kitchen with a text "I never thought that once I marry it means I'll have to cook until you die". I mean seriously. Nobody thinks of a husband like that. I'm with the OP. I also don't like to cook nor to clean. But I can cook and I am clean, I just use very few things (as someone said, their DH uses 4 pots-pans every time), which means I mostly have to cook for others and clean after others. It also irks me that DH eats about 4x as much as I do, which means if I'd just cook for myself, I could eat for a week from what I cook once, not one day. I think a lot of wives stop cooking daily once the nest is empty. [/quote]
