[quote=Anonymous]We do takeout a little more than 2x/week on average. 2x most weeks, but 3x or even (rarely) 4x when we're busiest. Pre-COVID, it was about half takeout/half eat in the restaurant.

DH and I both enjoy cooking and are good at it, have plenty of quick/easy recipes at the ready. We have one kid in ES, and our income is MC by DCUM standards (~$140k).

I think we get restaurant food so often for three main reasons, perhaps all of them related to the fact that DH and I both have ADHD diagnoses!

1) We like to mix it up and eat a variety of foods/cuisines, including ethnic cuisines we can't make as well AND as cheaply as we can buy them. Pupusas and pho!

2) We have pretty terrible executive function skills and time blindness. Actually, we have come a long way with hard work, but this is an area in which it often catches up with us, usually at least once a week (we do plan a regular takeout night, as well).

3) We live in an urban area and have a million easy choices at the ready-- even within walking distance. For good or ill, there are a ton of options at our fingertips. [/quote]
