[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fresh take. OP says nothing is under an hour for meals. Huge red flag to me that she lacks either executive functioning skills or [b]is a perfectionist and can’t let things go[/b]. I used to work in big law and then after that I commuted everyday and got two under 5s home from daycare at 5:30/6. Dinner was on the table in 10-15 minutes because those kids were hungry (pasta, veggie chicken tenders, fruit; omelette sandwich and fruit and veg, (gasp) frozen pizza and cut up fruit and veggies). I actually eat different things than kids because I’m a vegetarian and my meals take 5 min or less (eg open faced sandwich with smashed avocado and tempeh bacon). [/quote]

As a lawyer myself, I bet it's this. I have a tendency to do the same and want meals to be perfect but I've learned to save those meals for the days when I have time and find fast ways to get good food on the table the other times. It's not in my nature though, so I empathize with OP's situation. [/quote]
