[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eating out a lot is not an option - we simply cannot afford it.

Also, I was raised in a culture where women cook everyday - and nothing from a box or pre-prepared.  All homemade except maybe bread.  My guess is that for some Americans, cooking every day seems strange because you were not raised that way.[/quote]

OP here - what culture?  I am genuinely interested.[/quote]

My mother and aunt are Middle-eastern and live together, two stubborn old single ladies.  Believe me, they can definitely afford to eat out, and women in our family are at the top of the totem pole, but they never, ever, ever eat out.  They've even stopped buying bread- they make their own.  The last time I took my mother to a restaurant she complained the entire time- the food was greasy, she could taste the oil, what is this made of, it's disgusting.  They're extreme but I didn't even know what to do at a restaurant until I was in high school.  We just did not eat out.[/quote]
