There, I said it. I hate cooking. Always have. I hate baking, I hate grilling, I hate making food. I don't like mixing, stirring, measuring, seasoning, none of it. This is not new information. This is the reality of our house. However, I also accepted that I am the parent who has been home, and I'm the one that does the grocery shopping. I get it.
Now however, I am often working 25-30 hours a week. Still not full time, and with all of my husband's athletic responsibilities, still many fewer hours than Andrew. However, before I could accept it was something I needed to do, and since I was home it didn't really get in the way of other things. This is no longer true. I am still the one who manages everything in the household, and it is in addition to the working hours. I am not complaining about this because again, it is still fewer hours than Andrew. However, if I'm doing all the cooking, other things aren't getting done.
Something has to change. Honestly, because I hate food prep, I'm not good about planning ahead. Andrew and I have got to come to some changes. My grocery shopping lately has simply been processed foods and things to make quickly. I don't know if the answer is to have Andrew plan and I do the shopping and then we both come up with a plan for cooking, or if the answer is we try to plan together...I don't know what the answer is. I do know though, that something has to change for us to have healthier and more satisfying meals!
