I am so lucky. I recently retired and spend most of my day quilting. My children and husband are very understanding. I usually get supper going. But if I take something out and leave it out to thaw, my husband will get home from work and just say, "I guess I am cooking tonight!" But he is OK with that as long as someone else has decided what to cook. When I retired, my husband said "Does this mean our house will be cleaner?" I told him that I promise to quilt more and to cook more, but I made no promises to clean more. He just told me that he could live with that. I think I will keep him!
