    >dinner is done
    >announce dinner
    >everyone shows up 10 minutes later

    Some of the food is cold because I didn’t cover it, but why should I? It would have been fine if they came to the table when I announced dinner.

    >next day
    >dinner is almost done
    >remembering yesterday, I decide to announce dinner 10 minutes early so that 10 minutes later is “on time”
    >everyone arrives to the table immediately, remembering that it was cold yesterday not wanting that to happen again
    >mfw

          I don’t understand what you are implying here. How does her lack of communication skills determine having children? Let alone specifically with her husband?

      Nah we want you to start all your fucking about, get any beverage or condiments you might want, wash your hands, and have everyone at the table ready to eat when the food is ready.

      And subsequently, not get any criticism while we’ve finished our meal and you’ve just sat down because you had to go to the garage to get a new bottle of OJ, pee that became a poop, wash your hands, and find the sauce you’ve suddenly decided to dig out from the back of the pantry.

      “Hey can you help me finish dinner? Make sure the table is set up. Maybe grade some cheese.” Done.

      “Dinner is ready! I didn’t mean it was ready-ready, I just used the wrong set of words to explain my desires and needs. Why are you upset that I’m not using the words in the language I thought you? Never mind, I clearly didn’t need any help according to you.”

      If you’re adult, talk like one. If you’re a parent, communicate and act like one.

    If your parents lie to you on the regular you should buy better parents
