Treated Like a Princess for the Night

Most days, I spend hours in the kitchen either cooking or cleaning. With four children, a husband, a dog, and various people popping in and out, there is always food to prepare and pots to wash. Fortunately, I have a thoughtful partner, so I occasionally get treated like a princess for the night.

This week, my children were away on a camping trip, so my partner and I were home alone. On our last night without the children, he locked me out of the kitchen and told me to have a nice bath and relax. It is not often that I get to have a peaceful and relaxing bath on my own. Usually, the children stand at the door asking me multiple questions.

Treated Like a Princess with a Meal

When I got out of the bath and redressed, I couldn’t believe what he had done. He had prepared a delicious meal of steak, chips, mushrooms, tomatoes, and pepper sauce with a side salad. It was so thoughtful of him to give me a night off from the cooking, even though I love to cook!

He had even gone the extra mile to make sure I was treated like a princess by transforming the dining room. The table was set up with glasses of red wine and roses that he had bought for me. He had also lit candles all the way around the dining room. There were also pretty fairy lights around the window to create a magical and romantic look.

Normally, if one of us cooks, the other does the washing up. However, he decided I needed a night off from this, too. He did all the washing up and cleaned all the kitchen. 

My husband had decided I deserved a night off from the cooking and wanted to treat me like a princess. I felt well and truly spoiled. I am a very lucky woman to have a man like him who wants to give me a break and take care of me the way he does.
