Im a woman who loves to cook but my partner dosnt give me a chance. The moment i go into the kitchen he follows me in and takes over everything or just critisizes me until i leave him to it.
Its worse than being at work at least the chef there is training me to cook properly even with his huge ego.
I know my partner likes to cook as its his way of calming down after a stressful day at work. Or hes just trying show off that he makes all our 9months old food fresh.
I dont know if all men are like my other half but if they are that is the reason for women not being able to cook.
Im probably completely wrong but thats my problem.
Theres two ways of sorting this out first be nice say hay i want to cook you a suprise and if your in here i can't or get him to help and give him all the grotty jobs ie prep all the veg do the washing up clear every thing away he will soon leave you to it. i know im a chef it works every time.
lol good plan i know that would put me off. Ive tried the helping idea and it didnt work. Theres not realy enough room in our kitchen for two people as its more like a corridor than a room. .
Thats true actualy my other half never is that eager to take over any other form of house work. Actualy thinking about it he only comes and anoys me if our babies nappy needs changing or shes trying to wreck the place.

Give him the marigolds and some bum wipes and point in the direction of said sprog. Tell him "enjoy".
I actualy tried that at the weekend and it worked. But at the same time he taught her how to climb up the furniture, gave her chocolate which i never let her have so she went mad and then decided it would be good to show her how the dvd player worked. After all thay "fun" I think il let him go back to the cooking its safer.
I am like your husband...I will not calm down when my hubby is cooking. I have to take over in the kitchen, the thing is he is a good cook but I believe I am better. Maybe your hubby just does not want competion in the kitchen and maybe belives he is the provider in the family...its hard I know that. He should trust you like i should my hubby.
