[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just for some perspective, OP.  When I was little, both my parents worked part-time and went to school part-time.  We owned our house, and my mom cooked from scratch.

People simply cannot do that today.  The cost of living is too high, so many parents have to work two jobs.  Your mother was lucky that she was able to make-do, but many people today cannot do that anymore.  It’s just a fact.[/quote]

People absolutely can cook from scratch today. So many posts ignoring other posts from current single moms and other non rich people about cooking from scratch.

I am a single mom with full custody. I work about 50 hours a week. I cook almost all our food from scratch including bread and desserts. I do ok but I am not wealthy enough where I can pay for a cleaning service or meal kits or order instacart for all my groceries . I shop sales and lean a lot on batch cooking and freezing things. I try to multi task as much as possible, so for many meal I make part of it I make enough to freeze for another time.

Honestly I think the answer here is that some people find a way if this is something important to them and other throw their arms up and say “oh well, there is no way to do this, my only option is McDonald’s dollar menu”. [/quote]
