Advice, Husbands and burnt food OH MY!

Avoiding Unsolicted Advice
Good Luck! If you manage(d) to make it through being pregnant and avoiding unsolicited advice - please tell me how you did/do it! At this point in time, I am 4 months pregnant and have YET to avoid advice on things as trivial as a diaper bag. (love ya R) Now the advice on a diaper bag wasn't necessarily a bad thing, just we had previously had the conversation (twice) that I wanted to wait untill I found out what I was having before I started shopping for stuff like a diaper bag.

Advice has ranged from cloth diapering (who has the time?!) vs disposable, breast feeding vs formula, what to have/not have in the nursery, and oh how the list goes on. Can anyone make it through a whole 9 months with out getting un-asked for advice? Impossible I tell you! Give me someone who claims to have done it, and I will show you someone who is lying. Really. I have come to the conclusion that we as women are geneticly predisposed to the inablity to keep our opinions/advice/thoughts to ourselves. Other than an already thought-of-use for duck tape, I don't know anyone else who can do this either. (I know that I am guilty of this last one - on more than one occasion).

How Husbands Try To Avoid Cooking
They take a frozen meal, claim to have read the directions, and then burn it. Yes, the smell of a burnt pasta meal. You know the kind that are prepackaged and frozen with everything in them, all you have to do is heat them up on the stove? Yes one of those. Somehow my husband mananged to fill in his own read only part of the instructions, and though simmering a pan equals leaving it on medium high. We have an electric stove... the only thing you cook on medium high is water for boiling pasta. (and for the record- burnt pasta, vegitables and alfredo sauce are the equivalent smell of burnt popcorn! And it permeates throughout the house!!!)

Don't get me wrong, I love my husband. Very much so. However when he tries to get out of cooking, it just rubs me the wrong way. Especially right now - when he knows that smells still still bother me, and then he tries to bring me a bowl of another pasta dish that was left over from the other night. Yep... can still smell the other burnt pasta.
