Both my (adult) daughters are stay at home moms and cook a lot.

They are really outliers among their peer group.

I don’t think “home economics” is taught anymore?

“Home Ec” has become EBT/SNAP/WIC/SEC8 Management.

So many women prefer a career over home life. To be fair, Obama’s economy has made it necessary for a lot of wives to bring in a check. I know that when I worked, I would come home exhausted, not even wanting to look at the stove. So we got restaurant takeout. I got sick of living like that, and so did my husband.

I think some schools do still teach Home Ec, but they call it something different like “Family Science”.

I took it in the 8th grade during the late ‘70s. We wore white aprons and had a great time.
