JFF - Who Does Most of the Cooking?

I do the weekly cooking; hubby loves to barbecue so he generally cooks on the weekends.

If my guy did the cooking we would only eat two dishes, lol.
Stir fry rice and lasagna.
So I do most of the cooking. =)

I do all the cooking. We moved into a new house in August and for the first time since the move, last night my wife states "tonight I'll cook dinner". After about 5 minutes of me hearing cabinet doors open, close, open, close I went in to help her locate the basics. She had not prepared anything in the kitchen since we moved in. It was a great dinner as she is an AWESOME cook, just not any practice in the new house.
We do eat as a family when possible. And we rarely go out to eat as a family, we save that for date night.

As I say that I do the majority of cooking, I am smelling the cabbage rolls that my husband made last night and put in the crockpot for today.

My hubby would probably cook more, but he doesn't get home until 6:30 or 7:00 most nights, and I'm home at 4:30, so logic just says I should do it.

I should add that hubby gets our son in bed 99% of the time.

My husband does the cooking - he says it's self preservation, I'm a terrible cook. I do however, do all the baking.

And he works full time and I stay home - so yeah, I'm pretty lucky. I take care of feeding the kids, and take care of the house. He comes home and we eat together later.

I do the cooking, but my husband cleans up the dishes after the meal. We are both firm believers in eating as a family at the table, so every dinner is eaten together except the very rare occassions when my husband works late, in which case the kids and I eat together. We do go out to eat as a family about once a week, though with #3 on the way that may change!

My hubby! He also makes all of our lunches. He is a wonderful man :)

We always eat as a family - I have a 10 & 13 yr old. We go out once a week as a treat, but never to a place that we have to tip (not fast food though). Occasionally we get take out like pizza or chinese.

I do most of the cooking, but my husband helps out lots too. Usually, if my husband is making dinner, it is something that I have prepped or have given instructions of how to prepare. Lately, I have been feeding our 10.5 month old while my honey finishes up our dinner and than we sit at the table while our little one plays in his high chair with food or spoons.

OMG! I am so glad to hear that other husband's do the majority of the cooking. I was starting to feel like a bad wife! For starters, my hubby loves to cook. He is a foodie and every time I prepare food for DD, he will hover over and make suggestions which drives me crazy. Therefore, he cooks and I clean up. Since DD goes to bed early, we have a snack during her dinner and then eat as a "couple" later. This will change soon...

I do all of the cooking, shopping, bargain hunting, and most of the dishes. When we got married, she told me to stay out of HER kitchen. So I did.

When she went back to college to get her degree, she found it overwhelming so she asked for help with dinner. Sunday became my day to cook. My wife took Saturday and each of my five oldest kids took the other five days.

Now that we are empty nesters and I'm retired, I do all the cooking. I ask her most days what she wants for dinner and give her several choices and then I make dinner. I do deserts too in single serving bowls because we both love to eat good food. I've entered several cooking contests and won three and placed in one more. We generally eat together unless she calls and says she will be very late.

I BBQ and smoke very well. We seldom eat out because we don't like paying for food I can do better at home.

Good luck to you and yours.

Lucky for me, my husband does most of the cooking too. He's an excellent cook so it's always a treat. On the down side, I get to do all the cleaning.....I just want to know how is it that when I do cook, I still get stuck cleaning???? So besides him being a great cook, there's another reason for why I let him do the cooking....LOL....

I do the lions share of cooking, he does the lions share of cleaning. I wait to eat with him if he is getting in late. I make sure we eat together every night. The kids nibble and nosh all day and eat dinner pretty early. But I wait and eat with dad. My 19 yr old makes sure we sit as a family at the dinner table when she's over for dinner. When she's not there, it's me and him in front of the tv while the kids sleep.

Me. I cook 90% of all the meals at our house. For starters, I love to cook. Plus, during the week DH isn't usually home for dinner. The girls and I eat together and DH eats later. On the weekends we all eat together, but I'm still the cook. We rarely go out to eat as a family (maybe 5 times since our girls were born 4 years ago) and we don't do takeout. So I'm IT for all meals.

My husband does most of the cooking as well. That way I can spend time with our son after work. He's a gem!

My husband does most of the cooking, he enjoys it and has pride in it. His father and brother cook as well, so I think that helps. I think in this day and age we need to teach our sons to cook, the days of the wife cooking while hubby makes a living are waning and my sons must be prepared to thrive in the future

I use to do 100% of the cooking. Then I got a part time job that is at night. Now even when Im home my husband does the majority of the cooking, I will help him or give him idea's to make and we do it together. He says he can't just sit there like he use to, he feels too guilty not helping.. but with his help he takes over the kitchen lol. So I do the clean up and the kids do the dishes.

I do the majority, if not all, of the cooking. I am teaching my children how to cook also. My goal is to train my daughters to be able to do the menu planning, shopping, cooking without my help. They need to be able to run their own homes before they have them to run. I'm looking forward to training myself out of a job, although I do enjoy cooking. My sons can do some basics, but the primary goal for them is training them to be able to provide financially for their families.

My husband does the majority of the cooking. He is a far better cook than I am; one of the many reasons why I married him! I do however do all the baking. After dinner, we clean up the dinner dishes and he washes the dishes and I unload the diswasher. Pretty good fair trade off I think!
