I am writing to announce my immediate resignation from the role of chief food coordinator. It has truly been an enlightening experience over the past fifteen years, during which I honed numerous skills—like preparing multiple dinners nightly to cater to everyone’s unique (and often picky) preferences, crafting a weekly grocery list, navigating the grocery store, and managing to unload bags of groceries solo about 90% of the time. I’ve also mastered the art of serving lukewarm dinners while juggling the endless cycle of loading and unloading the dishwasher.
While I took on this role with enthusiasm, it has become clear that my workload has expanded significantly without a corresponding increase in appreciation, support, or help from the rest of you. Instead of gratitude, I’ve received complaints and a noticeable lack of engagement from the rest of the household. Therefore, I believe it’s time for us to part ways.
I’m open to continuing to support our household, but I will no longer be the sole person responsible for all food-related tasks. I will still contribute financially to our grocery purchases and food preparation.
I am more than willing to assist in training my replacement to ensure a smooth transition. However, please be aware that I expect the following tasks to be addressed before my departure:
- Create a weekly grocery list with family input to avoid any future frustration over missed items.
- Do the grocery shopping, including any last-minute runs to the store to pick up forgotten items.
- Unpack and organize the groceries—remember, I’m the only one who knows where everything goes.
- Prepare hot meals for everyone and clean up afterwards, including dishes and running the dishwasher.
- Repeat the entire process daily.
Upon reviewing these responsibilities, it’s evident that this role is far too extensive for one person to manage effectively unless it’s their sole focus. If the position were adjusted to allow for a team approach, I might consider returning on a part-time basis.
Thank you for the professional experiences and opportunities over the years. I look forward to seeing you around the house as I continue in my other roles, such as managing laundry, scheduling family logistics, and overseeing schoolwork and social activities.
Wishing you all the best,
Mom
