[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, can we hear from a 2 WOH family who gets home-cooked meals on the table each night without spending all day Sunday cooking for the week?

If you're SAH, of course you're getting a home-cooked meal together every day. Duh, that's your job. [/quote]

I posted earlier. It's not that hard for me. Two young kids (baby and 3 year old) in daycare, husband typically not home for the evening routine. I plan ahead, aim to cook 3x a week (once or twice on weekends, not all day in kitchen). All my meals require 20 minutes or less of prep time. It may take longer to cook. I may for example prep something like a lasagna, quiche, enchilada bake, or soup, and while it's baking/stewing, feed the kids, get them to bed, then eat it later and do leftovers the next night - so my 3 year old still gets the meal, just not that night.

Or I may throw something in the crock pot after work and DH pulls it out before he goes to bed (he's up later) and we eat it the next two nights. Meals I cook for that night are simple stir fries, beans and rice, quesadillas and guac, etc.

Really, there are hard things about being a FT WOHM but I don't find getting healthy meals on the table high on the list.[/quote]
