Bullshit, I love it when my partner hangs around the kitchen while I cook. We get into all sorts of silly discussions or deep philosophical debates.
I especially love when my child is in the kitchen because I have the chance to teach them new things, or they tell me about their day, or vent their frustrations, or tell me a cheesy joke ect.
Only grumpy assholes wouldn’t want other people in the kitchen and frankly I don’t care what grumpy assholes want.
Oh my God! One of my absolute fucking FAVORITE things my son does is he really wants to help me cook. It’s absolutely fucking adorable. He just turned 6 so there’s not a lot that he can manage on his own yet for actual on the stove cooking, but I let him stir certain things, help me pour certain ingredients, stuff like that and he’s always so proud.
A lot of people are just control freaks about their living space and they can’t stand someone doing something differently than they’d do it. My mom was one of them for sure. She was also a shitty cook.
I’m not a control freak and I find it really hard to be around people who are, and goddamn there are a lot of them out there.
I’d just like to find someone who actually cooks. Everyone I date thinks cooking is gross and basically lives off those meal box services. I haven’t met anyone who likes to cooks in over a decade.
My SO has the uncanny ability to always stand where I’m immediately about to go and is otherwise somehow always in the way when I’m cooking so they are banned from the space for the sake of our relationship and their safety.
look before you turn and stop rushing to do stuff.
My kitchen is tiny and I never have this problem, but I also know how to share space and I have worked in a kitchen with 20 other people before. It’s easy if you’re not a dick who thinks other people are ‘in your way’.
You essentially have no clue about our relationship or the dynamics so are making some frankly wild assumptions with little to go on. I’ll make one last good faith attempt to get the point across.
I too have worked in restaurant kitchens with no issue. I’ve shared the kitchen with many friends (my place and theirs) also with no issue. This is specifically just one person who has demonstrated it’s better for everyone if they just steer clear. I love them to death but they have little self-awareness especially when holding a conversion and don’t cook, so inadvertently put themselves or others in harm’s way because they can’t anticipate what might cause an issue. Think things like standing immediately behind someone without letting them know, opening drawers behind them (again without warning), standing in front of the sink as they go to drain a pot of pasta, bending down directly behind someone to get something out of the cabinet, etc. Just generally not making their presence known combined with an almost supernatural ability to be in the worst places at the worst times.
Maybe a kitchen analogy would help: Imagine you’re carrying a large full pot across the line and call out “hot behind” and as you are walking a server (who is on the line to have a look) suddenly turns and crouches down to grab something from a lower cooler right as you’re about to pass them. This pot is heavy and has lots of inertia so you have a hard time stopping in time to prevent you or your coworker getting burned. Now imagine they do something similar almost every time you are making a critical or dangerous move; you’re being a dick in this situation? You’re impatient for all the close calls? Or will you wonder: they aren’t even cooking so why are they on the line at all?
lol. or you could just not be an ass to your wife.
blows my mind people on here will go into vivid detail to justify their weird and bad takes, rather than just chill out and be like ‘maybe it’s not all about me’

or you’re just an impatient jerk?
Lol not sure what patience has to do with not wanting to turn and spill boiling hot food on somebody
