Tired of cooking..
#51
I do not understand this.
Two adults live in a house, but only one adult does the cooking all the time? I am not surprised that you are fed up, anyone would be. Why not take it in turns - you cook for 2 days and he cooks for 2 days etc. One of you is not a servant, and the other the 'the boss'.

I am another one that is so tired of cooking, but I don't see any relief in sight. DH used to cook very rarely, but doesn't try to do anything anymore. I am a good cook, and I do most everything from scratch, to try to avoid harmful food additives, too much salt and sugar, etc. But I rarely enjoy it. We don't eat out very often at all, for the same reasons.
I don't think it would be fair for me to declare I'm not cooking anymore. He might decide he was not going to mow or take care of the vehicles, etc. We have divided up the chores similar to our parents' generation. Sad, but it works.

I love cooking and trying new recipes. Fortunately, my elderly mother doesn't mind trying new recipes. I only have to cook one good meal a day. We both like leftovers, so we usually get at least two meals out of every cooking. She does the dishes, but I do most of the actual cleanup. It's not a bad deal for either of us.
