NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

I cook, my husband cleans up after. Because I am a good cook but not so good at cleaning. I do clean as I go, don't explode the kitchen or anything but there is always more and he does that.
If the kids (teen and 20 are the ones still at home) don't want what I make, they make their own food. All the kids cook better than my husband does - I remember when we were dating, his teenager asked if I could make mashed potatoes from potatoes for his birthday. But he got an Italian girlfriend and learned to cook too.
If I work late, I ask my husband to get us takeout and he does. On the odd occasion he cooks, I or the kids clean up.
