I don’t even know how to react to this, my hands are shaking as I type this. My husband has this habit of not bringing a single naira for food in the house. We have 4 children, yet he will comfortably leave everything on my head. Anytime I cook, he will rush the food and eat the larger part, knowing fully well he didn’t buy even the salt inside.
For the past 3 days, I refused to cook. I just buy bread for me and the kids and we drink tea or we manage indomie. Today I said let me at least boil indomie for us. As I was in the kitchen cooking, this man just walked in, carried the pan and poured everything away.
I was so shocked I didn’t even talk at first. When I finally confronted him, this man almost raised his hands on me. He stood there telling me that if you can’t cook for everybody, don’t cook at all.
Mind you, the gas, the pot, even the smallest spoon in that kitchen, I bought them with my own money. I’m feeding children alone, yet I still don’t have peace.
I’m tired. I don’t want to shout, I don’t want to f!ght. I just want advice from the house, what should I do?
