Am I the only one
That comes onto this board a lot to see recipes, add comments, make posts for help and I don't even cook?! 
I do enjoy eating out and doing simple meals, but other than that... FTWM. I come home and I'm exhausted. I know there are plenty of FTWM's out there that still come home and cook 
My mom was one!
Thank goodness DH is happy with simple meals or take-out.
Plus, my parents live very close and my mom does a lot of cooking for us and brings us stuff

Re: Am I the only one
I am a FTWM and I cook probably 4 nights a week and the other times we either take out or eat with families. When I do cook, I make simple meals...nothing fancy. I do come on here for questions and get recipes...and save some recipes to try for when I have more time like on weekends.

Re: Am I the only one
I never cook but I love reading the recipes. They make me drool. 
But I do love to bake!
ETA: I feel better knowing I'm not the only one who ordered pizza last night!

Re: Am I the only one
Also, this board inspires me to cook and bake more...because everything sounds so yummy.....it def isn't easy to be a FTWM and cook every night...but I try my best and at times I am too exhausted so we order in.

Re: Am I the only one
I am not a mom. But I work full time and 2-3 nights a week I do not get home till 9. I love to cook. But on my late nights I usually use the slow cooker or we have leftovers. I like to try to cook different things and sometimes try to be a bit fancy. When i do have kids, if i am still working full time (god help me - dunno how people do it!!) I am sure take out and really simple meals will be all I will have to offer!! I give props to those that work full time and have kids and have time to cook!!!

Re: Am I the only one
I think about this all the time!
My mom and MIL cook so much for us. But I do look at recipes on here and "gently suggest" them to my mom!
