Not any more, but I've had kids and grand kids living with us at one time or
another. Yes, I've come home from work, picked up kids at sitters, then
cooked a meal, set the table, did the dishes and gave them ice cream for a
snack after their bath. It was a challenge at times, but they got a good
dinner every night and I enjoyed cooking it . I did my share. YMMV

Then you are somehow misreading what I and a couple other people were
saying. Cook earlier, get to bed earlier. Not cook garbage, or get
take out or microwave tv dinners.

Trust me when I say, I'm probably doing my share and yours.
