You've been in the kitchen since 11 this morning. is it wrong for the spouse to eat elsewhere?

ok guys. don’t get me wrong. i really am a great cook. but when i cook holidays like today, my wife still goes with the kids to her mother’s even though the food is right here.

i understand the family bonding thing with dads and moms, but what about the house where the food is cooked with just as much love and passion?

yeah i know: blood is thicker than water, but is it thicker than marriage with kids? i asked her just last night, “what are we doing for memorial day?” and she shrugged “nothing—what are we cooking?” that says to me “it will be an in-house holiday.

this happens every major BBQ holiday. would you go on strike? how do you manage holidays that include multiple families?
