Just this past weekend, though, his parents traveled to visit him and his wife. That day, he also decided to invite his in-laws over because it had been a while since everyone had an opportunity to see each other.
And for dinner that evening, he decided to make a nice dinner. More specifically, he cooked Beef Wellington, a roasted root vegetable medley, bacon-roasted Brussels sprouts, potatoes au gratin, mushroom risotto, and asparagus.
So, by the time he served the meal, his in-laws were blown away. His father-in-law, though, was honestly quite confused.
His father-in-law reportedly asked him why he never cooked like that whenever his wife’s side of the family visited.
Her father-in-law also pointed out how instead, he would always order food, or his wife would cook some hearty home-cooked meals.
And at that point, he decided to tell his father-in-law the truth.
“I said that I did not want to appear feminine in front of him since he thought it was a woman’s work,” he recalled.
Now, his father-in-law was surprised by his response and claimed that he never meant that with his comments.
His father-in-law also suggested that if he knew how to cook that well all along, then he had just been “belittling” his in-laws by only cooking like that for his own family.
Anyway, his in-laws eventually left his home, and his wife was pretty upset about what had happened.
In fact, his wife claimed that he should have either cooked a “less fancy” meal or just ordered out.
