Why do women change after marrage?

What is scary is that I can remember where I was at and what was going on in my life for each and every one of those "Fire Away" Columns.

My partner calls his wife every night and asks... "What are you making for Dinner?" Kills me! She's a stay at home Mommy so I'm guessing he's justified!BS Gal said:

I make enough on the weekends to feed us all week, but, damn, I hate leftovers. I want a fresh meal every night. Guess I should cut back on the weekend cooking. He does grill, though, which I love. I'd have bbq'd something every night if it was an option.Kain99 said:My partner calls his wife every night and asks... "What are you making for Dinner?" Kills me!

I'm wondering...what is it about this question? Why do people ask? Has he ever said he doesn't like what's for dinner and suggested eating out instead? Of all the times I've been asked that question, it has never changed the outcome. :shrug:
Very, very true and something I understand only too well. Life is much too short to just be a spectactor. Go out and LIVE. It's a beautiful world out there full of possibilities and amazing discoveries.

Well, being a stay at home Dad, I occasionally hear that question or "Is dinner made??" So, understand that there is a man out there who understands the position you are taking on this. This is my take...
I am at home all day. Certain house chores are my responsibility seeing that I am home all day and housekeeping is my full time job (aside from going to school full time and parenting full time) - too bad all that dosent pay though. Making "supper" should not be expected but it is hard not to expect it when the spouse is home all day. Being a home maker is not a bad thing ...if some one dosent do the house work - who will?? Will it be the bread winner who comes in late in the day every week and just wants to unwind and chill in front if the tube and have a nice warm meal? I dont think so.
On the other side of the coin, the homemaker gets burned out from doing the cleaning-up after themselves and everyone else - muchless cooking a meal on top of that. This is where I think that the bread winner should come into the picture. Instead of asking "whats for dinner/supper?" - ask "Do you have any plans for supper tonight?" If the answer is "Well, I was going to make..." then great... Other wise...the bread winner should be pithching in with "Well, let me take care of the cooking tonight" OR "Lets go out somewhere."
Bottom line, I think that taking care of the home and cooking for the home is a shared responsibility. The cooking should not be an expected task for the homemaker but frequently is assumed to be seeing how the homemaker cooks most of the time anyways.
Compromise and Communication.... thats the key to fixing the whole thing....I think....but we're only human....and to err....

I always ask (every single day
) "What do you want for dinner". I guess it's just always been my choice to cook dinner 90% of the time. :shrug: If I don't feel like cooking I don't. I used to do the grilling as well, but Steve has taken over as grill master. I do most of the prep work and he grills. I've never understood why who cooks what, and when, is a big issue. :shrug:
