Okay I'll give an example. I've been between jobs for 4 weeks, I started a new job yesterday. One day a couple weeks back, while I'd finished my interviewing and was aware I'd be getting a job offer, in the days waiting for the new job to start I used the time to get some work on the house done - in particular, a large project involving digging out, mixing and pouring concrete in our house's crawlspace.
I was mixing and pouring concrete on this day, and I had rented a mixer so I wanted to get everything done by a certain time, I would need to return the mixer first thing in the morning to avoid additional rental charges. I needed to finish before a father-daughter event at school that evening. I was a little behind.
My wife wanted to order pizza. She got mad at me that I hadn't stopped working to order the pizza.
Without me around, she wouldn't have depended on me to do something she could have done herself.
It's probably not something that makes a lot of sense, you might have to just take my word for it. She's younger by 7 years than me and she's a youngest of 3 daughters, and she's never lived on her own - plus she's probably been babied a lot by her mom (and I'm probably guilty as well since we've been together). It's a little understandable, at 13 she was in a major car accident in which, besides her own injuries, her best friend was killed.
