[quote=Anonymous][quote]I understand that having two kids at home requires work but (1) she chose to have two kids and (2) people have been taking care of kids and cooking meals throughout history. My mother had 5 kids at home and did the cooking and cleaning. House was damn clean also.

I don't think the level of work has increased either. When I was a kid there was no meal delivery services, mircorwaves, etc. Things took a lot more work and yet somehow the moms of that era got a lot more done. These days the SAHM want the husband to work then come home and start doing housework and taking care of the kids so they can get a break.

First of all, OP is not complaining about cookig--or about caring for a newborn and toddler by herself while her husband is on travel (and able, presumably, to eat what he pleases). Secondly, 'throughout history' women also died in childbirth, people lived with extended family, etc, there were no antibiotics and children labored...so let's not have some kind of comparison which is not useful. Good on your mom, but that's not the world we live in now.

Finally, the point is not that OP is unable to make dinner. it is that her husband--who travels frequently--is "bored" with dinner. He is damn well capable of coming up with a solution but it is the expectation that she's focused entirely on his needs and the complaint about her meal prep that is so insensitive. [/quote]
