I'm trying to figure something out. Tonight, the mrs. has a 6:45 commitment at church. So here we are, with dinner finished in plenty of time for her to comfortably get where she needs to be, all because at 5:00 she said "oh, it's time to start the grill . . . " As a result, the thick-cut chops had plenty of time to get done, and everything else just fell into place from there.
So why does that so rarely seem to work when I have to be somewhere? Is it because I'm not usually here to actually get things started, or to do the cooking? I mean, all she really did tonight was observe the time, and since I was home this afternoon I took care of the rest. But I got the impression that she'd have done it if I hadn't. This makes me wonder if she has some passive-aggressive thing going on? Does she resent my being gone a couple evenings each week? I mean, if it's that easy to work backward from when she has to be somewhere to what time the ball needs to start rolling, what keeps it from happening when I have somewhere to be?
Or are my expectations unreasonable? After all, as I read over it, this seems to be a pretty selfish post . . .
