Wife Leaves Detailed Meal Instruction For Her Husband Before Work

The Original Poster (OP) shared a screenshot of his wife's detailed notes, including a portion plate with cut-out paper notes listing each food item and its position. The dishware showed that he prepared the meal for a toddler, yet his wife didn't believe he could hack it without pictorial help.

Perhaps he'd never fed their child during her leave, or she's a control freak who loves things to be in order. The man insisted he wasn't an idiot with his hilarious caption and later responses to other Redditors.

The OP added that he got most of it right, although he fumbled on some parts - reheating the food. True food enthusiasts and cooks know that there's a right and wrong temperature for certain food, and he botched that.

Wifey should've added temperature levels to her note!

Other Redditors teased him for using the wrong temperature to reheat the food, and someone said his child would admonish his poor cooking skills. They also shared interesting anecdotes about times their fathers and grandparents made food for them since their mothers were away.

The common food in most of the stories was Peanut Butter & Jelly. As simple as that is, you'd be surprised at how easy it is to botch the preparation. One user said their father made what he could and insisted they had two options - eat it or starve. They always chose the former.

However, some parents in the comments admitted they'd do anything to please their children's palettes. The flip side of this story is that it opened Reddit users' eyes to the stress and sacrifices their parents made years ago.

It's time for the man to sit up and do better.
