Having a husband who works at
home, I set the table three times a day, at least a thousand times a year. With
30 years of marriage, there is no denying that I have been set the table around
thirty thousand times.
Of course, the food was not
pleasant to the eater, but my mother-in-law praised me, saying, "You have
no food skills, so my son did not get adult diseases so that he is old."
I'm sick and tired of thinking
about it that I do grocery shopping. Only three or four times a year, on our
way home after jogging, I asked my husband, "Can we stop by the market to
buy milk, juice, eggs, and bread?" He said, "no," because he
doesn't want carry heavy grocery. Then I have to carry the heavy thing around
at any time and does he mean he doesn't have to do? Even though he eats almost
everything.
The moment we pass the
supermarket, I said, "Wouldn't you go?" "Where?" It is at
the door of the market, which was divided over whether we should stop by or
not. I lost my say-so and just came home.
I'm not asking you to carry
them alone. I'm going to share them with you. The fact that I carried those
heavy grocery shopping bags and set the table thirty thousand times is nothing,
because those which my husband ate all gone through the bathroom without
skipping a day.
For me who gets into a lot of
accident every time I drive out, my husband often takes me to a Korean or
American market. He sat in the car and reads newspaper while I was shopping
grocery. Whenever I entered the market, I became impatient or flustered. When I
came home, there were missing items because I didn’t shop properly. I waited
for the day to go to the next market, but he rarely gave him a chance under the
pretext of being busy.
Other husbands are good at
cooking. If he ever set the table and asked me to eat once, why would I
complain so long? "Don't tell someone that you're good at work. If you say
so you become a kitchen maid." My late mother, who used to say, seems to
be spinning beside me without any help.
If born again, not as a woman.
I wish I could not be born as a wife of a man who did not thank me very much even though I has been
cooking for him more than thirty thousand times.
