"Axel, you go rest for a bit; I'll handle this and call you when it's done." Elena put away the groceries she bought, categorizing them neatly in the kitchen cabinets and placing what needed to be refrigerated into the fridge.
"Let me help you out, I'm not tired," Axel wanted to help, indeed, he was not feeling weary.
"No need, everything is already paired nicely, and there isn't much to prepare. If you're not tired, just go sit in the living room for a while." Elena shook her head; her mother had taught her that it was better for men to cook less as their career ambitions were normally stronger.
As for women, especially homemakers, they should do a bit more in this area.
Indeed, her mother rarely let her father cook, but on his days off, he would insist on cooking, and the meals he prepared were quite delicious.
