you just ignored something core. time spent cooking can't be spent doing anything else. it's also mentally exhausting when you work 14.5hr days and have a 2hr commute.
I swear, you must live in a major city with that attitude or work part time... idk how many times I've gotten home on a Friday night so knackered from stop-go traffic for a hour and another of avoiding idiots jumping two lanes without signaling to exit... after working a full shift... that I can barely remember how to cook pasta, much less stand their chopping onions, peeling potatoes and browning mince.
you don't know exhaustion from work if you can honestly be like "lol, cook, it's no big deal". if I'm treating myself 1 day a week and it's effectively costing me less in that state. for real, what logic are you using.
I live 20 minutes from where I work. I work full time as a local truck driver. I live on a 14 acre farm on a dirt road. My partner is disabled and doesn't work so we're a single income family in this modern economy.
Fuck off with your judgemental bullshit. We make it work because we have to. We don't have another choice. If you're too fucking lazy to buy groceries and cook dinner for yourself and bitch because takeout is too expensive; eat grass.
I don't know exhaustion? Do you get up at 4am and come home after 11 hours at work, and have to feed farm animals before the sun goes down? Then after that haul Firewood to the basement so you and your partner don't freeze over Night? Then help clean the house because muddy dog paws and still have to make dinner?
Yeah. I don't know exhaustion.
