My house keeper does most of our grocery shopping, and some meal prep Monday, so it's easy for her or my self to throw together a nice weekday dinner. Weekends we usually dine out.

But I think what has most turned me off to cooking is that I spend so much time cooking and cleaning for the family to scarf the food down in 10 minutes and comment that they’d rather have had chipotle, burgers, tacos, etc. And DH never helps cook or cleanup. I’m a SAHM and DH has decided that this is solely my responsibility.


This reminds me of Tampopo - one of the side plots is about a mother who is urged to cook from her deathbed. Her family eats. She dies.

I have ADHd so it is super difficult for me. I find it exhausting. Unfortunately the take-out habit has led to a lot of weight gain for me, so I'm trying to learn how to cook more.

Personally, I enjoy cooking. But once we had kids, that morphed into the chore known as getting dinner on the table. And I’m over that.
