See, if both husband and wife work then I totally agree. Even if wife is still handling kitchen, it would be very selfish for the hubby to expect fresh food everyday.
I mentioned somewhere that when Niks and I both used to work and she used to come home one hour after I used to reach home, I took over the dinner cooking part. That was perfectly fine for both of us. I used to cook, once she was home, we used to eat and then she used to take over cleaning the kitchen part.
Once she left her job, she took over the kitchen completely. She likes it that way. Kitchen is her kingdom, she does not want me to intrude in her kingdom. Just like I dont want her to go through my tools in the garage, she does not want me to mishandle her spices.
