re: Does your wife have time to cook if she works all day?

We both work and we both cook. She cooks more often though.

We both work. We meet in the kitchen to talk about our day while I prep supper. I enjoy stirring a pot, so it's not work to me. Mrs. Btr is a teacher, so she usually helps with the kids homework until the meal is ready. After Supper, she cleans up the dishes, and it's my time to unwind and play with the kids.

Her mother never cooked. Wife learned all she knows from watching me. She is getting better and more adventurous. She is more than willing to take over the duties if I am running late, or had a rough day.

But I really should insist on doing the dishes at least.

The less work she does at suppertime means more energy she'll have for bedtime.

SO is incapable of preparing anything that doesn't come out of a box or a can. I do 95% of the cooking and she cleans up.

Work from home a lot so I cook larger meals(that provide leftovers) for the days I'm in the office and have limited time to cook. Or we just eat out on the one day I go into the office

I like to cook, so I do most of it. She does most of the cleaning. I prefer it that way.

The majority of her problem is that she's an extremely finicky eater. She won't try anything new. She's afraid it might contain an item from her list of the foods she has deemed to be in-edible (long list).

I don't know how you put up with this. Is dining out always a chore?

We eat out once or twice a week. She's really careful about what she orders and pretty we'll sticks to basic items that don't contain the banned stuff. I once jokingly told her mother that this affliction was a result of poor parenting. My remark was not well received!
