Not if you teach your kids to cook & make them responsible for planning and preparing one meal a week.
You have to help them a lot at first, but they learn an important life skill and you get a night (or more if you have several kids) off. :-)
I grew up in my grandparents home. Both my parents worked, my mom in a five and dime and my dad had three jobs before Obola made it fashionable. Home duties were distributed: my grand mother cooked, my mother kept the home, my grandad and dad with my help did the maintenance and tended our large garden. We had dinner promptly at six each night: no TV on, no phone interruptions all around a dinner table. Most saturdays I went with my mom as she visited her mother and her siblings. Sunday we had dinner promptly at one after church usually with my dad’s brother and wife present: no tv, no phone interruptions. If we had no guests that sunday we went to visit my grand parents siblings for the afternoon. The rest of the time I was free to roam as I wanted with the previso be home for dinner at 6. I had some chores, not paid but a family committment, one of which was tending the coal furnace in winter. If not banked before bed, it was very cold in the AM and it was not pleasant for me. Morning tending meant removing the ashes and getting them into the garden. Frankly, they were the happiest days of my life! There were no drug, truency, or gang problems. My family and all those in the neighborhood which were similar minded were God fearing church going US patriots and the world was better for it.
