    My DH could barely cook anything when we went off to uni for the first time - omelette, pasta (with jar sauces) and a fry up were his limit. I can't believe his mum never taught him before sending him off to uni 400 miles away! He's much better now, but still not v confident in the kitchen. i do pretty much all the cooking, and when he does do something he's constantly asking me questions (the same ones each time as well - how much water do I add to the rice is a favourite, how hard is it to remember that it's 2 cups for every cup of rice?!!?)

    I don't let my DH into the kitchen - OMG lol! I love cooking for the family and it's very much my area. Bringing my kids up to be able to cook but it's prob my fault that DH can't cook hahaha!

    He sent me a random text message at 2.45am this morning, saying something quite disrespectful. Am finding it very hard not to ring and kick off!

    I'm guessing maybe drunk then at that time, maybe that's why.

    Sensible advice: don't answer, cause that's what he wants

    What I'd probably do: Phone up and yell at him about what the hell he thinks he's doing!

    Hi Woo
    Glad to hear all going well with your new fella.
    With regards to the 'big girls blouse' who text you in the middle of the night. Would you consider changing your mobile number. Maybe thats not possible. Otherwise ignore him...he is trying to control you.
    God bless:A

    Ps doing flylady this week and I am wrecked:p
