i love to cook. no family though of course so its not quite the same. i do it because i enjoy it more than anything,

but i definitely agree that it is a dying breed of people who enjoy it and are willing to do it regularly. most of the girls i know can't cook to save their life. unless its y'know like a grilled cheese or something.

It's kind of unfortunate that women these days aren't learning to cook. I get the career thing, but, ladies, men like to eat. Learn to cook, keep a man! LOL

I'm another one that goes home and cooks everynight. Sometimes I even clean, too

I could not think of anything more boring than cooking every night. I hate it. It's right up there with doing the dishes. My SO loves to do it though, so he does it.

I do the yard work. I love to do that. He hates it.

you know, like I love it when women actually know how to cook. but its not something i expect in the traditional sense either. like i couldn't be the guy who sits on his butt while she's slaving away in the kitchen...i just think it says a lot about when someone is NOT lazy and cares about putting in EFFORT. if a woman does that in the kitchen then it really says something. Most don't is the problem.

I see cooking a meal as a way to say you care for someone. I love feeding my family and friends! I care about them. My husband doesn't do much in the kitchen, but he's so helpful in so many other ways, I don't even think twice about it.

eh, I cook a meal every night for my family, nothing too elaborate but there's a protein and a veggie on the table every night. It takes 30 minutes max, better in the summer when the whole lot can be popped onto the grill!
We live in a Rural town, 30 minutes from the nearest store or drive through anything, so popping out for dinner would be a pain. I don't mind cooking, my husband hates to cook. I don't like housework so he does that, I handle food and shopping and kid stuff. It's a good life

Why does it have to be the woman? I personally hate cooking because I can never make something that everyone will eat unless it's frozen pizza, spaghetti, etc. I am not skillful, neither was my mother - her meals were bland and pretty boring and yes, the three of us sat down to eat together but it was not a pleasant meal, usually silence or my dad was nasty and telling me to be quiet a while and just eat. Always the same - meat, potatoes, some kind of veggie. If mom made broccoli for her and I, dad would without a doubt declare yech, blech, how can you eat that crap...instead of just eating his food that he likes. Meals were not "fun" or pleasant for me as a kid, and neither are they now. The only nice times we really had at mealtimes when I was a kid were most of the times on holidays (maybe) or if we went out to dinner at a restaurant and dad was on his best behavior not to be a jerk.

When the kids are out of the house I may cook meals for my husband and I with pleasure...not sure. He does eat what I make without complaint, and is always willing to try something new and different, but my kids ...meh. The oldest one will try anything once - the other two are often very skeptical or flat out refuse to eat something out of our normal.

I hate mealtimes. Even when my oldest was a brand new baby...when it was mealtime, she always chose then to have a crying jag. When she was old enough to be in her high chair and eat with us, she cried the entire time. We often said "Yup, it's supper time, the dog wants out 9 thousand times, and the baby is screaming. Joy." LOL

I would rather bake. I love pies and cookies

This is me too. We are busy with both of us working fulltime and two kids both in sports year round. We may not even get to eat at that same time, but a meal is prepared 95% of the time and we try to eat it together as much as possible.

that's just showing off!

I cook very regularly, but not every night.
I tend to cook a pot of something that will do a couple of nights and I do buy meals from the shops to cook at home if I know I'm going to have little time between work and the gym (I walk or run everywhere now which eats into my spare time a bit).

I cook nearly all our meals for our household of two plus dog (though I don't cook for him). Because there are only two of us, I usually only cook a couple dinners a week and we eat leftovers for a few days. On the days I don't cook dinner I usually have to run errands after work. The mondern day housewife is out there.
