Never! I enjoy it and miss cooking when we are on vacation or visiting family. I guess I am lucky I like it!

Same. And a meal I don’t want to eat, at that!

That’s how I feel.

I never started. DH is the cook. He loves to cook while I hate it. I make dinner one day a week and always tell him to let me know if he wants me to do a second night.

^ often all I want for dinner is a cup of yogurt and I find it so joyful not to be the Family Cook.

If DH is sitting down to eat and I am nearby, I sit down to be with him. And he with me. Otherwise we often eat different things and at different times. We each fix for ourselves.

I enjoy cooking 80% of the time, so, I don't plan to?

Back from college for visits meant adult children were caring for themselves. Out to eat out of their budget or grocery shopping for themselves. If they did grocery shopping, I told them to safe the receipt and I would reimburse them. I did not cook for them. I mean, if I was making a sandwich and they were nearby I would ask if they would like one. That was the extent of it.

Since DH retired, I am not in charge of "us".

i’m never. I cook way better than anyone in my house. Not interested in eating crap food. I don’t need someone to cook for me. it’s not difficult.

Immediately! There’s four of us in the family. My teens have been cooking forever so there’s nothing they can’t make. We all rotate on the cooking and cleaning, so I cook twice a week which makes it more do-able.

I don’t see that ever happening unless my DH discovers a love for cooking in his retirement.

Not in my experience, kids out of college and I am still the cook. If you give up cooking you give up what you get to eat and I cook much healthier then anyone else in the house.

When the kids go to college?
