Once a divorced, single parent of three (6, 3, and 1), worked full time, and still sat down together with children for a home cooked meal every night. With a little organization and good time management, it can be done. My parents did it, I did it, and hopefully my now, young adult sons will continue...IMO it is very important.
Agreed. I LOVE to eat out. But, I do it sparingly. I hate the feeling of wasting a ton of money on something so fleeting as restaurant food.
Good for you-when I was young, moms who worked would have been shamed and looked at as not the best mothers if they fed their kids fast food and boxed just-add-water/frozen crap-and if you were single and looking to get married, guys looking for wives weren’t interested in a woman who did not know her way around the kitchen...
