I cook for my family regularly. I prepare most breakfasts and a good number of times, I do dinner too. My Lady and I have very hectic work schedules. With the baby, and no help (our decision) there is always too much needing to be done.

The trick is learning to prepare quick meals. Breakfast can be varieties of sandwiches on different days like coleslaw and shredded chicken or toasted keema sandwiches. Dinner can be chicken fried noodles or spagetti bolognese. Fried rice is always easy too.

What we do is to prepare a good quantity of soups and stews, pack them and freeze them. Then prepare some chicken and beef, freeze those too. The abo.ki selling carrots and veggies near my house sees me most evenings. N200 gets me enough carrots, green beans and peppers to get fried rice ready in the time it takes to boil the rice. Chicken from the fridge and voila! Dinner is ready. Frozen soup plus microwave plus garri and eba is set. Easy and quick.

Gives my Lady time to bathe, feed and put the princess to bed and still have the strength and desire to get busy, you know what I'm saying

Point is anyone of us can get dinner ready any day of the week and no one gets stressed out. Besides O happen to enjoy cooking anyways.

That is the way. I love your approach. We men should try and help out a lot, women go through a lot daily. There is no benefit by allowing your wife to be stressed out by trying to do everything alone.

Nice. Splendid. @lewstherin and amtheone.
Not surprised though.

More of these please.

Not the ones that wail and nag when their wives don't serve them the food from the central dish into their mouths. despite having other stuff that needs to get done around the house.

What's that about? Can't someone make a joke here?

It's only the easy stuff I do, boil rice, fry eggs, make oatmeal, etc. Last time was more than 3 weeks ago, as for going to the market, no way, Hosé!

Dude, I just read your ppst on your first year of marriage. Great post. Makes me feel your not going to the market is just you feeling lazy, right? You know what they say, holding your woman's hands in the mall (or market) isn't romantic. It's economics!!!!




Just yanking your chain bro. No offence meant.

Cooking food now stressful?

Lazy and unfit people everywhere......

The lady was too tough on me. I've got to run on my two feet very fast!

Hahaha... Please don't look back. I don't need your dry analysis over people's hardwork on that thread anymore, it's very rude and uncultured. if nobody will tell you the truth, I will.

Enjoy the rest of your week.
Ciao!

You berra come back! Even if we must drag you and Thorpido to every Family Section thread until our young men begin to understand what a Man is supposed to be. Ever since you posted about how involved you were. in searching for your child's creche, you have earned my respect

As for me, Le Husbs cooks breakfast a lot (pancakes and French toast being his specialty) but nowadays he finishes whatever I start cooking or does the basics like rice (we alternate between holding Baby E). Whilst we were still. youngish and happy (pre-baby ) he was the one making stew and ogbono soup (i couldn'to make draw-y soup).

It's something I love about him.

Onegai, bukatyne, I must confess I'm flattered. Thanks for the respect. I feel you too. People need to learn that there is always another way and that way can be a lot better. I'll share my morning yesterday.

I made breakfast for my Lady and myself. Rice and fried plantains with fried fish stew. But I didn't spend more than 10 mins in the kitchen. Simply put the rice in the rice cooker, sliced the plantains directly into the deep fryer and stew that my Lady made a little while back straight into the microwave from the freezer. I just checked on everything once in a while and before you could say Nairaland, breakfast was ready. The missus was only too pleased to dish the meal. If I needed her to kneel while serving my food, I'm quite sure she wouldn't have minded. After all, the meal was ready with no stress for her as she had to get the little one ready for school.

The point I'm trying to make here is that it doesn't take much to help around the house. The rice cooker was a gift from my sister and her husband for our wedding 4 years ago. I got the deep fryer off dealdey.com for a great price over 2 years ago. 8k or so. Most people already have nukes and deep freezers. A guy doesn't need to leave everything to the wife because it's "her responsibility". How many of us big boys would go to the photocopier to get our ish done in the office because the secretary is busy on other things? Isn't it her job to do that? Why don't we make a fuss of it when we do?

Sorry for the long post but I just needed to pass the point along that even if, like LordReed said, it's only the basics we can do in the kitchen, those basics are still enough to prepare a meal for our families.

Well done bros. One can actually have a great marriage if one does the needful. I made up my mind years back that I will not be "a sitting room husband".
