How does the female mind work

smallBiscuit

Evening all, I have a question and since it's about a woman's behavior (my oh), this seems the obvious place to post it

So, here it is.. She was working last night (all night) and demanded I cook dinner today (fair enough). But while she is a great cook, I'm not so good. Not in the actual cooking, but in that age old question, what to cook. She can open the presses in the kitchen, pull stuff out and 20 minutes later, a delicious dinner. Whereas I will stare into the press for half an hour and still have no idea what to cook. I have said thousands of time's in the past, I don't mind cooking, but what will I cook? To which the response is almost always, figure it out.

But anyway, today, I open the press and see a tin of tomatoes, good, pasta great, open the fridge, garlic, rashers, perfect. So I now pop on the earphones and music, pull it all out and start making a tomato sauce. What does she do? Comes in and takes over.
WTF? Completely adamant that I cook, yet as soon as I do, takes over, pushes me out of the way. (She added cheese and parsley to the sauce, making it taste much nicer as well as grating some parmasan (SP?) ) but that is not the point, if you insist on someone else doing it, you have to accept what is produced.
You cannot both insist that someone else does their fair share and not allow them too.

So that is my long winded question, how does the female mind work, how can you both demand that someone does something and also that they dont, at the same time

As per the forum charter:

9) The Ladies Lounge is not a place for men to come and start threads requesting opinions on X, Y and Z from women. Women aren't of a single mind or opinion.

If you are having relationship issues, use the relationship issues forum; if you just want to have a rant/use lazy generalisations then the ranting and raving forum is probably more appropriate - either way, this isn't the forum for it.
