食欲と制作欲
主夫現象の最たるものは料理人になったことなのだが、これは長期戦になると分かった時十分予想された。想定外だったのは、朝起きると昼食のことを考え昼食を食べ終わると夕食のことを考えるようになったこと。そして配偶者につい「夜何食べたい」と聞いてしまうこと。
その昔配偶者に昼食直後に夜何食べたいと聞かれて、「お腹いっぱいだから考えられない」と言っていたのだが、今はお腹いっぱいでも考えられる。食欲と制作欲は全く別物であることが分かった。
The best part of the housewife phenomenon is that I became a cook, but this was entirely predictable when I knew we would be in for the long haul. What I didn’t expect was that when I woke up in the morning, I was thinking about lunch, and when I finished my lunch, I was thinking about dinner—and asking your spouse, “What do you want to eat at night?
Once upon a time, my spouse asked me what I wanted to eat at night right after lunch, and I said, “I can’t think about it because my stomach is full,” but now I can think about it even if my stomach is full. It turns out that appetite and desire to produce are two completely different things.
