I had a buddy back in grad school that used to number his socks by pair. Monday he wore pair #1, Tuesday #2 and so on. That way he was sure that they all got equal wear.

In my house I do 98% of the cooking.
I do 100% of the shopping. 100% of the Dr. Appointments. 100% of the school/pta/sports stuff. My wife has a terrible mother and she grew up not wanting to have any children because she didn't want to be a parent like her mother. We have 2 kids now and this was kinda the bargain that I struck. And to be completely honest..... I wouldn't have it any other way. I love to shop and cook. My 14 year old daughter can't stand cooking. My 9 year old girl absolutely loves it.

usually i am. wife and daughter are out feeding horses when i get home so i usually throw the frozen meal in the oven.
so technically, the frozen food factory is the cook and i'm just the unfreezer.

I am. I worked in a restaurant while in college, and got interested in food while talking to the chef there. After Mike and I got married, we couldn't afford to eat out , so I learned to cook different foods. Mike gave me a subsciption to Food and Wine for my birthday soon after we were married. I was slightly offended at first, but it was a good way to dive into it. If I didn't like food so much, I probably wouldn't bother most of the time.
Mike claims he could be a great cook if he tried. Very annoying. It's also annoying when he does his best Tom Colicchio impression to judge my food. |

Burger King or Fazoli's.
My daughter enjoys cooking more than either of us. We eat very few cooked meals each week.

We cook our dinners rarely. In a typical week, we get takeout 2-3 times, eat at one of our families 1-time a week, cook up our own meals probably 2 times a week and go out to eat 1-2 times a week.
My wife grew up in a family where they rarely cooked their own meals and she has carried on the tradition to our little family. I like cooking but I am only good at cooking one or two things. |

If I was single, or if it was just Mrs. Meanie and I, we could probably eat out cheaper than we could eat in. However, when you add more people you get economies of scale so eating in is much more cost-effective. I like eating out, but I like being able to afford BYU football season tickets even better. |
