You feel lazy because of this? Much respect to you, OP. I will nominate you for Mother of the Year. I make shortcuts regularly for my time with hubby, my time with friends, or my time alone. And I don't feel one ounce of guilt or laziness about it.

That has potential for hilarity. Might find "My drunk parents out partying!" on a TikTok trending video.

We make our teenager drive us and pick us up for date nights so we can drink.

I hope you have a good fainting couch OP.

Why did you post this? Dinner with DH boring, eh?

Lighten up.

Pretty sure it’s op who should lighten up

Sure. When kids are little they get a sitter and pizz or whatever when parents go out. We have grandparents who watch kids at their house and feed them. But that's rare and when they can't, we do the above scenario. The teens getting other takeout is just evolution of that.

OP this is such a non-issue.

Live a little! You’re paying into your relationship. No need to feel guilty.

And this warrants a thread because?

And door dashed the kids chipotle to eat while we are out. I feel lazy but you only live once.
