[quote=Anonymous]I’m really over it. I loved cooking when I was younger and had a bigger kitchen, plenty of free time and could experiment with new recipes. After close to 30 years of marriage and being the sole cook, I’m sick of it. I will spend an hour cooking a meal for us to sit down for 10 minutes and then spend 15-30 minutes cleaning up. And during that 10 minutes somebody is complaining (kids or DH). What’s the point? So these days I cook far less often. And I am no longer catering to my picky husband and kids.  I’m cooking what I want to eat without regard for anybody else’s preferences. I had been a martyr preparing meals DH liked that I didn’t even eat. And if I don’t feel like cooking, I feel no guilt about frozen chicken fingers or fast casual takeout. If  it were up to me, I’d just cook once a week tops. I confess that I’m glad DS has soccer practice far away that conflicts with dinnertime 2x week.  It gives me an excuse to not prepare anything. I envy people who have spouses or kids who are good cooks.[/quote]
