[quote=Anonymous]We just returned from a bi-annual family vacation with all the In-laws and I'm constantly surprised/disappointed that the women in my family seem to spend over half of their day in the kitchen. Prepping, cutting, cooking, baking, cleaning, etc. etc. Breakfasts, lunches and dinners all seem too elaborate. Pull out every bowl, pan and dish, make a mess, clean everything. Then do it all again an hour later for the next meal. I have 3 kids, and breakfast and lunch are 15 minute events in my house. bowl of cereal. kids then put bowls in dishwasher. Done. I HATE the stress of being in the kitchen for hours on end. My dear husband says leave it, but I don't want to let my SILs and MIL down. So, I keep engaging in busywork with them while the men and kids are out at the beach or pool or family room. Seriously, ladies, I'm trying to understand. What makes you want to be in the kitchen most of your waking day? and will you judge me if I want to skip out?[/quote]
