What exactly does your wife do? There is a very convenient window between 4pm and 6pm when all you appear to be doing is cooking dinner. I suggest that at 8.00 when you take the breakfast to your wife that you firmly advise her that she will be cooking dinner today and that you will be watching the football. Then return early from your kick-about, get down the pub, watch the football and then go home to a ready cooked dinner.
My god man you should have had this shit sorted before you got married.
No, no , no dude, you've got it all wrong.
It's out of choice, because I'd rather be cooking up a treat than putting myself through the pain of the football!!! ;-)
