Typical wifely woes

I am going to return to just baking/cooking for myself and children because I am tired of throwing food away.

I am obviously not cooking for myself and I feed the kids, but unless I make a plate and deliver it to my husband he will not eat anything and complains when I only make things for myself.

I want to have meals as,a family that is expected, which requires a willing family. My husband says that he doesn't eat out, but our allotment of food money is used up somehow and it is not the things that I buy and then throw away.

I have heard other women complain of such things but it still did not prepare me to expect it because I just expected a certain type of life which I think I could achieve, but like the meal situation, I do not want to try. I would think that such a common courtesy would be communicated, and that is what U value above all else, and have never even found anyone with a elementary or basic skill in communication.

So many frustrations would be avoided with communication, like the scenario where the wife prepares a wonderful meal to suprise her husband who never comes home due to a meeting. She gets upset and he argues that it was all done for her and the kids anyway. Maybe so, but he could have picked up the phone and explained that much when he asked or told his wife that he would not be home.
