“My wife just got back to work and thinks I’m an idiot,” the father wrote in a post.
She explained that his wife was incredibly concerned about the breakup
“I’m doing everything I can to make her comfortable. I prepared dinner exactly as she asked me to. But I still thought it was pretty funny,” he wrote.
The father was commissioned for his son Serving corn, four ‘Dino’ nuggets with ketchup and honey mustard on the side and a choice of leftover rice or beans.
Meanwhile, her daughter needed meatballs – which are said to be in the fridge – with her Corn and peas that had to be “steamed in the green steamer” and leftover rice “reheated”.
Despite the clear instructions, the father didn’t quite make it
Many fathers referred to the task with a letter: “I can already hear it: “Mom doesn’t do it that way.” …”
“It went pretty smoothly, but apparently I got the wrong temperature for some dishes,” he said.

Another said: “Mom was probably trying to save dad from endless toddler tantrums because the ketchup was slightly left. Or the nuggets touching the corn. Toddlers are emotional terrorists.
A third wrote: “That’s better than me as I’m a real jerk and can easily be made to feed my daughter in a way her mother would never approve of. My daughter has long since found out that dad is an easy target.
“If she felt it necessary to create this cheat sheet based on previous observations, then maybe…” joked another.
“Don’t forget to take out the papers,” added one.
“In my family, it prevented a meltdown. Shows how much she loves you and the kids,” said another.
