The "what's for dinner" post hit home. As I developed my nursing skills and worked many a long shift I think I forgot how to cook.
Fortunately all in my family are pretty self sufficient (my youngest is now 13), they had to learn to be when I was going to school six days a week. I remember when I first learned they didn't need me as much: I came home after a long day of school/clinicals, everyone was fed, homework done, kids bathed and ready for bed. I thought, "They don't need me." Then it was, "Wait.....they don't need me!" I can study, read, take a hot bath, etc.
I am blessed with a great hubby who even now doesn't care if I cook as much, especially when I have a busy week. He says, "I haven't seen you all day. Why be in the kitchen when we can order something?" I love this guy. :loveya:

Awwww thank you for sharing that nursefrances. I'm a single mom of two boys ages 11 and 9. I'm dating someone and I have my mother in the house, but........... we are all nurses! At least we all understand when the other may be cranky. Take out is a life saver.

Yup!My kids were small. I had a string of bad nights. I always tried to have dinner ready for my hubby and the kids so I could ACTUALLY LAY down once he got home. I made homemade sauce and meatballs one night. He came home and made some lame comment about "Spaghetti again?" I took and dumped the entire pot in the trash and told him " The kids are fed, you however, can starve for all I care I'm going to BED!"I got a dozen roses the next day...an apology...AND pre-made dinner service for a month.He never made that comment again....
