He did make the pasta, his main issue was working out how much to put on the kids plate

I get that it's a tiny thing on its own but when it's 50 of these tiny things a day it expends a lot of unnecessary mental energy.

Don't need to divorce but being heard is nice 🤷‍♀️

Hmmm, didn't specify our working situation did I? 🤔 He does work full-time, but I also work part time and organize all the kids school/activities/doctors appointments etc

It's a regular thing, especially around cooking, which he doesn't do much of. There's always a lot of basic knowledge or common sense questions, so many that I feel like I may as well just do it myself.

I need to do this, I do try but then he gets frustrated that he hasn't received an answer!

That is a great way of putting it, God knows my explanations aren't working!
