Am I wrong to feel angry about this?

by Alaskan wife
(Homer, AK)




I believe it is proper that when several dishes are served at dinner (meat, vegetable, bread, salad, etc.) that they are all put on your plate when served and then eaten. My husband insists on putting just salad all over his plate and eating that, perhaps with some bread. In the meantime, everything else is getting cooled off. In my family as I was growing up, we put everything on our plate and just ate it. I feel my husband wants me to act as a waitress and serve the salad course then main dish. This would mean the other dishes would be kept warm and then brought to the table when he finishes his salad...I work and he is retired and doesn't so this causes me to think I am being forced into a waitress role. At the end of the day when I have cooked dinner, I want to sit down and just eat it!
